Daniel, ..

The location is very good for Santa Maria and the staff were friendly. The room was comfortable but it is dated, definitely needs a good renovation. The room was overall clean but there were some visible, although minimal, spiderwebs on the sprinklers, it has tall ceilings and maybe they can't get to them??
