Top Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Aloha Inn

8/10 Good

"Aloha Inn is a good deal for the price. It’s close to shopping, restaurants, and the beach. There’s plenty of parking. The staff is friendly. Yet he room was very comfortable."

Sandcastle Hotel on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a last minute booking and were very pleased with the Sandcastle. We ate next door at Vespara but had a better meal that evening closeby, so u was glad we didn’t stay there for the dining. The hotel had everything we needed including a generous front desk that lent us boogie boards and sand toys for our one night stay! Would definitely come back! Very kid friendly but lots for adults, too! Love the fire pits and bar / cafe but they do get occupied quickly! Parking was great!"

Edgewater Inn And Suites

8/10 Good

"No need for the AC as the weather was overcast, cloudy and cool. Best feature is the location: right on the beach, by the pier, walking distance to all the shops and eateries. Hotel provides beach towels and little kids stuffs. Room was ok, hair on the sink counter and bathroom's wall. can't beat the location though. Would stay again"

Historic Santa Maria Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel lobby and area. Room and bathroom were super clean. Their rates were amazing! Everyone was very helpful, courteous and friendly. The only issue I heard of from my family was the pool was dirty. Fun fact is that many of the old Hollywood stars stayed there, although I did not know that at booking. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"
