    I was visiting my MIL over Mother's Day weekend. I wanted to take her somewhere we could listen and dance to Salsa music! We got there a bit too early. Feeling awkward.. we headed up to the bar. The DJ wasn't playing salsa music and I thought... shit! Did I just take my MIL to a club!! after a couple warm up songs, the DJ started to play Latin music... phew! I was even able to request some songs. The bartender was amazing! I'm bummed I don't remember his name. He thought it was super cool we bought our MIL for Mother's Day to dance. The whole night he was tentative to our cocktails and shots! Needless to say I plan to be back!! Thanks for a wonderful time.. til this day my husband doesn't let me forget that I took his mom to a club.

    Attended the pre-grand opening of this bar and I'm so IMPRESSED! It has such a fun, modern vibe and the music was great and the drinks were so yummy! I tried a drink called the San Dia and it was made out of fresh watermelon and cucumber, no cheapy juice mix! Soo good! I even saw people ordering Hen-chatas (Hennessy and Horchata) which I've never seen in Santa Maria.. I usually only see those types of drinks in LA bars, so I was extra impressed. I can totally see this as a place I can come with my girlfriends and dance and have an amazing time! I can see this bar being packed because Santa Maria doesn't get a lot of new stuff and there are only a hand full of bars as it is. They have designated nights for house music, Latin music, etc. so I can see everyone enjoying this place

    We were visiting from LA and my husband was craving a good michealada. He very much enjoyed it here, they make it with soy sauce and all of the fixings. I got a virgin mangonada which I would gladly get again. Around 10:30pm the crowd came in and the DJ was playing some pretty good music. The staff was very nice and the bar/nightclub was actually pretty clean with nice decor. Definitely a place to visit if you are in town! Wish they played more hip hop though

    The awesome hot dogs out back. The $5 cover charge was worth it just for this.

    What sort of full service bar doesn't have orange slices? I ordered an Old fashioned and the bartender made it hoping I wouldn't notice the lack of orange. I noticed. When I called him out on it, he offered to add a splash of orange juice. This place is less of a club and more of an overrated dive bar. Best thing about this place? The hot dog stand out back! Listen- if you're going to charge a cover and have a dress code (pretending to be exclusive) you should be prepared to cater to exclusive tastes. C'mon, no mezcal at a "día de los muertos" themed Mexican bar? It's all smoke and mirrors folks. Don't bother.

    Happy Halloween 2016   Best Place in town!!!!

    Warning: this hotel is listed under Santa Barbara on Priceline. It is not in Santa Barbara. It is…read morein Orcutt, a long drive away. That misleading listing is what caused me to book in the first place. When I discovered the error, I called to cancel. I asked three times whether a refund would be approved. Three times I was told yes, the manager would take care of it the next day. Don't worry, it's fine. So I trusted them. The next morning: denied. No refund. No explanation. No accountability. Because I trusted their word, I lost the window to just bite the bullet and make the hour drive to and from family. I had to book a second hotel out of pocket, stretching my budget in a way that was genuinely costly. All because a staff member couldn't simply say "I don't know" instead of giving me false assurances to get off the phone. This isn't a miscommunication. It's a lack of integrity. Do not rely on anything you're told verbally here and think twice before booking at all.

    We stayed here for 1 night this past weekend while visiting relatives in nearby Santa Maria. Plenty…read moreof parking and room felt cozy and modern, clean. Breakfast was mediocre as the pastries were stale. Best part of breakfast was the strawberries. Only 1 person staff at the front desk. It was likely the best hotel in the town of Orcutt. No views from our 2nd floor, got a wine bottle upon check in.

We got rooms in the original part, and it's aged and refurbished time and time again visibly. No noise in the rooms which was nice and mine was fairly large, also nice. Lack of plugs next to the bed was a minus - I had to move the actual mattress a little from the wall and plug in cell phone charger. The property is cool and historic. Walking through the lobby is a kick. I have to say, the tavern I did NOT expect to be so lively at night. I didn't get a chance to go in, but will next time - it looked crowded and fun. All in all, I'd stay there again!

She took my information and told me my room was not ready. I asked if there was an estimate as to when it would be ready. She contacted housekeeping and her answer was, "they will call me". I told her I had a speaking engagement. That I was not pleased but I kept smiling. Nothing. I finally asked where the restroom was so I could change while waiting. She told me where it was and I went and changed. I am not happy. I came back. I sat down. I got someone's attention and asked if I could be told when the room would be ready. A few moments later the original young lady gave me my room key. It is pretty obvious that the room was almost done. A bit of effort on her part would have saved me from changing in the restroom. *sigh*
