“Pleasant Little Surprise On Santa Maria Stop-Off”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2013

Decided to stop off in Santa Maria on a long drive back down to LA and ran across this little motel. Full discloser: being vegan I was enamored by the "greenness" of the place but the room ended up being very nice. Sleek, calming decor, clean...just what I needed after a harsh drive. I slept like a baby in that bed. I pretty much woke up and hit the road so I can't review the shower, sorry haha. The owner / manager guy was...young but genuine and attentive (especially for a late drop in.) Normally not a reviewer but my stay here was a much needed pleasant relief to a long journey. Would stay again.

“Great Room, Great Price, Green!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

One of the best Inns I have stayed at. Each room has two rooms and then a bathroom. $very reasonable price per night (So when I was helping a friend move and the first thing he moved was all his mattresses…) this was a great Win Win on convenience.

The rooms were very clean, floor was not dusty (one of my pet peeves with many hotels… the dust) the bedding was white and you could tell that there was no stains and every room had great flat screen T.V.s that had a lot of channels available to completely pass out to.

Above all of this, I later found out, it is a green hotel. Meaning that it gives a % of profits back to the rain forest and uses LED lights –many other features about green technology but I had a great sleep, clean rooms and no dust- 5/5 for me.

Room Tip: The room with a large tub is awesome for aches and pains to be bubbled away.

“Horrible service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

The man managing the desk was completely useless. Although we were checking in at 8:30 pm, we had a reservation so I felt he was extreme curt since he knew we were coming. The next morning, the "Continental Breakfast" They offered us were prepackaged pastries and granola bars. They didn't even have water or coffee out! Had to call 3 times to ask basic questions since the rooms have no information in them, and the manager was so rude when we got there that we didn't feel comfortable at check in. The walls are paper thin, so our neighbor's noises made it rather difficult to sleep. Nothing about it was pleasant. Additionally, other than having electric car charging, I have no idea what was eco-friendly about it. The toilets were all high flow, not even florescent light bulbs. Horrible hotel. Spend your money elsewhere.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
It's one thing to claim you are environmentally friendly. It's another to prove it in everything you do. The Solaire Inn and Suites, the first entirely eco-friendly hotel in the Santa Maria California Region, does just that.Water is our most precious resource. Low flush toilets and low flow showerheads were installed in every guest room at the Solaire Inn and Suites. Our low flush toilets save over half a gallon of water with each flush compared to regular toilets. Native and drought landscape around the hotel also helps reduce water use.We believe that every bit helps, no matter how big or small. We make it easy for guests to recycle and conserve resources when they stay at Solaire inn & Suites. Recycle bins are located in every guest room and throughout the property. Complimentary newspapers are available in the lobby rather than delivered to every guest room, and guests are encouraged to re-use their bath towel.This summer, 100 LED lighting will be in place. In addition, we will also be offering an Electric Car Charging Station. The Solaire inn & Suites® hotel is conveniently located near several area attractions and local points of interest. Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts theater, the Santa Maria Speedway, the Santa Maria Public Airport, Vandenburg Air Force Base and The Natural History Museum are all just minutes away from this Santa Maria, CA hotel. Nearby cities include Pismo Beach, Lompoc, San Luis Obispo, Shell Beach and Avila Beach.The hotel is nestled in the foothills of Santa Barbara County wine country. Explore the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail that runs through the area showcasing miles of sprawling vineyards. Several golf courses are in the area along with a number of lakes and beaches. There are many restaurants, cocktail lounges and shops close to the hotel. ... more   less
