Avanti

Newly renovated. 1 night stay. Perfect for a 1 night softball tournament stay. Food trucks, restaurants and convenience store nearby. Too bad they didn’t restore the pool to have something to do at the hotel. Need a patio or welcoming outdoor space to relax.

Under remodeling but very nice and clean modern rooms very recommended

From what I gather, this place probably wasn't too good years ago but it has been renovated and current management has done well with what the building allows. The windows have a wonderful opaque roll down curtain in addition to the cloth ones with a lovely scene on it that blocks out the sun. The room is set up clean and well with plenty of outlets. The 2 queen room is tight on space, but works. In between the beds is a sensor bright light that we couldn't figure out how to turn off so it would turn on with movement. Good idea, but bothersome when you don't want it to go off. The bathroom is spacious, but the single fixed pane of glass for the shower lets a lot of water escape onto the floor. My understanding is that some rooms have a refrigerator and microwave. Unfortunately, ours did not and only had a wine storage cooler. The room's 2 waste baskets are not big and the parking lot could use a dumpster instead of a tiny bucket. The lobby has a microwave and snacks. Staff was nice. The hotel was right on the main street with plenty of restaurants, shopping, and a movie theater within walking/driving distance. One night, there was even a food truck in the hotel parking lot. Hotels and motels in this area are affordable during the week, but prices soar on the weekend. We were in town for a baseball tournament. This was an affordable option and we would stay here again unless we could afford a bigger name hotel.

*This was my personal experience* Positive: overall there was nothing really wrong with the hotel. It was one of the nicer ones in an older area. Newly renovated, easy check in. Negative: -wifi was awful. I couldn't get a good connection all weekend. -There was a motion sensor light under the bed that could not be deactivated (lit up the whole room and woke up everyone else if one person had to get up during the night). -Shower water would not get hot. Bathroom door was a sliding door that had gaps between the door and the wall. -Room was advertised as soundproof, but we heard loud/ emergency vehicles every time they passed by. -No vending or ice machines (that I saw). Overall, it was difficult to stay in this room all weekend because it was me, my wife and our 6 month old son. There were just too many things that woke us up throughout the night. Maybe we just had a fluke experience, but based on the one we had, I probably wouldn't recommend this hotel.

Property is Under construction, everything is being remodeled. Its nice, but a lot of dust,and not clean as you would expect, and you pay full price as any other.

Very updated hotel for the area. Plenty of parking. Fireworks going off late at night. Otherwise area is quiet with usual cars as hotel is on a busy street. Staff was great, housekeeping was offered.

Nice clean room was exactly as pictured! Hotel is under construction but had no issues or noise! Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Would stay here again!

Nice boutique style motel. Good value if you just need somewhere quiet and clean. Manager are attentive and follows up. Ample gated parking, boutique style furnishing and good use of lighting (lighted body mirror, bed, auto night light, lighted bathroom mirror, bed lights, nice clothestand (with hanger, steamer), keurig coffee, LCD TV, adjusted thermostat for AC/heat, see through small fridge, shower/tub, movable showerhead, foldable seat for elderlies, walled USB, outlets and feature other nice accoutrements.

Hotel is under construction- upgrades. Management was very friendly, rooms were updated and comfortable.

The room was extremely clean and recently refurbished. The property was clean with plenty of parking and space.

Look check in was amazing. I had a great time. But the pillow had a nasty brown stain when entering. The mirrors had stains on them too.

In town for a funeral, easy check-in, very clean room, and a simple check-out. Couldn't ask for much more.

Property is under construction. Wasn’t the most clean. Friendly staff.

It was so clean and very modern. It’s a nice and quiet place hotel. I will definitely come back.

Clean room. Friendly and helpful staff.

I think they need to revisit their rooms that haven’t been occupied recent. The place is actually nice, everything is recent, modern and it’s well put together. It’s just a shame that the rooms cleanliness didn’t match. It feels and smells dusty. And some long woman hair just randomly chilling on the floor. Maybe they need to adopt a new cleaning system, before it’s too late and the hotel catches a bad rap. Don’t let this nice updated hotel fail! Pay attention to the details because that is what your guests pay attention to.

room was super clean and newly renovated which was nice only issue was our sink had like either puke or chicken noodle soup clogging it so we couldn’t use it

Very pleased with cleanliness, quality of furnishings, plush towels and friendly reception.

Checking in was quick and smooth. Room was clean and bed was comfortable

The room was absolutely spotless. I will definitely be back.

My sister & I were in Santa Maria for a 3 day workshop. We slept and showered at the hotel but were otherwise out. The room was small with 2 very comfortable queen beds leaving little space to move around. The room was newly renovated and clean. Staff very helpful and pleasant.

Was in town for two nights and needed a reasonably priced hotel. Avanti has been recently renovated all the room look brand new (Jul-2025). I arrived and super-fast & easy check in go the room key and dropped my stuff and left. We had room on first/bottom floor, and it was a little noisy from above we also faced some issue with the exhaust fan in the bathroom, so I ask to get a different room for the second night, and the front desk manager did arrange for that. The second night was very comfortable, and I would recommend this hotel to anyone that plans to visit Santa Maria Valley and need a place to stay. Thansk!

Newly renovated rooms. Cramped a little with two queens. No fridge, micro, or iron and board. We had a room in one of the alcove corridors and the it was loud outside our window.

A family of four we stayed overnight en route to LA. The hotel/room exceeded our expectations, such comfortable beds, nice and modern, perfectly clean. Our teenage boys, 16 and 14 had the bunkbeds which were a good size, comfortable and fabulous in that they were in a separate area, partitioned off with a sliding door, which gave us all some privacy. Perfect for our short stay :)

Room was remodeled very nicely and it was very clean and comfortable. Although it directly faces the road so the road noise a little loud. The hotel might be able to help by using a sound proof strip along the doors. The AV unit was also new, but it didn’t get very cold. The hotel might need to replace the coolant in the main unit.

Clean and convenient. WiFi wasn’t working which made work challenging.

The hotel itself was very nice and clean. You can tell it was remodeled. The staff was also very nice however, it was incredibly noisy! Partying the whole night and racing in the streets. We were not able to sleep at all. Plus, the windows only have screens so there was not way to “close” the window to prevent the noise!

When you first arrive you're met with an exterior similar to most road side motels. Once inside though, its amazing! Huge comfortable bed, 1.5 bathrooms, 2 tvs, a living room... great value overall. Small downfalls, showerhead is in an awkward spot causing a good amount of water to leak out. Walls are thin, you hear all your neighbors, luckily, they went to sleep early! Thats it! Perfect spot to sleep for my Spartan race!

Really nice hotel for an affordable price. The room was comfortable, clean, modern and quiet. The staff was very friendly too. I'd only suggest more racks and hangers in the closet and a dresser. A microwave in the lobby would be nice too. Thank you Hotel Avanti!

I had a great two night stay here. Sharath, the on site manager, was very kind. I felt safe during my stay here, and the suite I stayed in was very comfortable. I will definitely be coming back :)

Great place to stay. Everything is clean and Sharath is very friendly and helpful. Thanks

Easy check in

I travel semi professionally and I am in a hotel around 1once a week. I genuinely have not had better service in any hotel. This small but sweet hotel has the kindest man working the front desk, Sharath who went above and beyond to accommodate me. He stayed late to check me in and made sure I had water and coffee every day. He lent me help and was incredibly kind the entire time. Truly the highlight of my trip was meeting Sharath. I wish every hotel had a Sharath

Hotel Avanti was perfect, the Manager is very friendly and help us a lot, also the room was clean and confortable. We recomanded it!

It started off not very well with not getting the bed size we reserved and issues with the front desk. After three days of being in the same room with bad WiFi service and no cable to watch with my family the manager came and let us know that he was aware of us not being satisfied in the hotel and offered us a way out with a full refund. I let him know that wouldn’t fix our issues since we did come to have a nice family vacation… He then offered to put us in a sweat for our last night and refund us for the night that we were absolutely unhappy. After putting us in a sweat we were much more comfortable just unfortunate it was our last night. Staff cleaning the room was very nice a young lady supper sweet and helpful. Hoping things change for the better with this hotel and the owners also learn from this experience as we have.

Clean room. Friendly and helpful staff.

Staff was extremely friendly and inn is very clean and newly renovated

Hotel manager was super helpful! Overall a wonderful stay

Checking in was quick and smooth. Room was clean and bed was comfortable

Santa Maria CA — This centrally located, downtown motel, is under refurbishment. The new rooms are spacious, bright and modern, with an element of fun, “kitschy” design. Very nice! Staff are welcoming and very helpful.

Nice easy access off 101. Clean room and easy check in.

Newly renovated hotel very very nice! I’m very surprised at how modern and clean this was! The area is very ghetto and a bit sketchy so if your a single women or a group of girls or a family I wouldn’t recommend staying here due to the area but for me it was great! I would definitely stay here again!

Even though place is under renovation, the vicinity was quiet. The hotel is in a great location.

I recently stayed at Hotel Avanti in Santa Maria, and it exceeded my expectations! The rooms were modern, clean, and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and great amenities. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The location is excellent—close to restaurants, shopping, and local attractions, yet quiet enough for a restful night’s sleep. Parking was convenient, and I felt safe throughout my stay. For the price, this hotel offers fantastic value. Whether you’re passing through or staying for a few days, I highly recommend Hotel Avanti for a comfortable and hassle-free experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Walking distance of restaurants

Clean comfortable, close to shopping center and beach.

Traveled to Santa Maria last minute for a Cruise night. This place is only 1.5 miles from end of parade which was perfect location to watch it from. Photo down below Pros: We were probably the First guest in this new room. Our Room was nice and spacious. Each room has new AC unit, microwave and beverage fridge. Beds and pillow were super comfortable, water was Hot for showers and plenty of towels for two people one night stay. Con: Floors needed to be mopped, our bare feet and socks kept getting dirty. Our room was located downstairs, so you could hear the people above us walking around and moving furniture at 6:30am walking up and down the stairs packing their car to leave. I’m not used to apartment living or having someone stay above me so it was bothersome and woke me up several times. Suggestion: Might want to consider adding shades or blinds to small windows by bed, some/me prefer black out shades to sleep in a bit on vacation. Overall stay was enjoyable, they are doing their best to accommodate guest during their remodel.

Newly renovated. 1 night stay. Perfect for a 1 night softball tournament stay. Food trucks, restaurants and convenience store nearby. Too bad they didn’t restore the pool to have something to do at the hotel. Need a patio or welcoming outdoor space to relax.

The property was clean with all amenities, breakfast would have been a good addition but they make up for it in a wonderful staff that is available 24/7 and are friendly.

Sharath is amazing. He is very friendly and assisted us with check in. He made mean a mean shot of expresso. Rooms are are updated. Not to many restaurants nearby.

continental breakfast would have been nice

Really nice hotel for an affordable price. The room was comfortable, clean, modern and quiet. The staff was very friendly too. I'd only suggest more racks and hangers in the closet and a dresser. A microwave in the lobby would be nice too. Thank you Hotel Avanti!
