The bed was comfy and the air conditioning was nice and cool. We stayed to be close to the Pismo beach golf club (10 minutes away) to play first thing in the morning. We had a wonderful stay and then a great golf morning. I highly recommend this place as a clean, nice place to stay for a great price!"

Top Santa Maria Hotel Reviews

Edgewater Inn And Suites

Edgewater Inn And Suites

8/10 Good
"Rooms vary. We changed from a cramped 2 queen subpar room to a better 2queen room. More room and better condition than the first room, which had a tiny balcony with very little view of the ocean. The sliding screen door was not attached, and bathroom had no working fan or window. Outdoor pool was too cold, but hot tub was fine. Not much offered for breakfast. No juice or milk."
