“If you're on vacation or traveling solo in Santa Maria, explore other lodging options before settling here; reports suggest hidden pet fees, even for service animals, and charges exceeding website quotes. While the location might seem convenient, consider the value elsewhere. I believe there are more accommodating and transparent choices in town.”
