Guest Reviews

• Salina (10/5): Friendly, clean and amazing staff - Clean and friendly There’s no dislikes about the property
• Selena (1/5): - Nothing Worst motel to ever stay in and if that was t the worst the hotel staff here is rude and unprofessional and rude... Would not recommend this place to anybody!
• Juliane (4/5): Ich würde das nächste Mal ein anderes Motel wählen. - Die Handtücher waren sauber Die Dusche funktionierte gut Das Zimmer hatte helle Lampen Das Hotel war gut erreichbar Ein Checkin nach 21:00 Uhr war möglich Ein Kühlschrank, wenn auch laut, war vorhanden Das Zimmer war angenehm warm Die Bettdecke war ausreichend warm Das Waschbecken, der Kühlschrank und das Bettlaken waren voller kurzer schwarzer Haare. Die Matratzen waren in Plastik eingewickelt, so dass jede Schlafbewegung mit Knistern verbunden war und das Schlafklima mit dem Tragen einer Regenjacke vergleichbar war. Ein Bett machte bei Bewegungen Geräusche. Der Boden war dreckig. Man hörte den Straßenlärm, allerdings ist das in anderen Motels auch der Fall. Die Heizungsluft roch nach Staub. Kein zusätzliches Laken auf der Wolldecke, was ich unhygienisch fand.
• Salina (10/5): Very clean and lovely staff - Very clean and quiet Nothing it was a good place and a good location
• Ben (8/5): Comfortable, clean and convenient - The front desk staff was very helpful in making my reservation
• lawrence (5/5): You get what you pay for - It was the cheapest in town The 'couple' upstairs was moving furniture around most of the night and during their breaks I could clearly make out every word of their conversation. And there was some sort of car show/beer tasting convention in the parking lot outside my door from 2-4 am
• Andrew (10/5): My stay was incredibly comfortable and welcoming, thanks to an outstanding service,caring manager - My recent stay at this motel exceeded expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, the manager demonstrated a level of professionalism, kindness, and genuine hospitality that is rare to find. She was consistently respectful, warm, and welcoming, and she went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was as comfortable as possible. There were a few challenges I faced during my visit that had nothing to do with the motel itself, yet the manager still stepped in with understanding and support. Her willingness to help, even beyond her responsibilities, made a significant difference and truly speaks to her character and dedication to guest satisfaction. The rooms were exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. Every staff member I encountered was polite, responsive, and courteous. Any time I requested something, it was provided almost immediately—within seconds, if not minutes. Overall, this motel delivers outstanding service, exceptional care, and a genuinely welcoming environment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-managed place to stay. NA

• Alexandra (8/5): Buen Alojamiento - Check in muy fácil y era cómodo Realmente me gustó todo supero mis expectativas
• Philippe (3/5): Sale a fuir même si cela n'est pas cher. - Trés sale, j'ai contacté Booking pour demander un remboursement et je n'ai eu aucun retour.
• Craxy's Top 5 (1/5): Terrible - Nothing Everything also didn't get a queen bed and everything was terrible I want my money back
• White (10/5): The buckboard is a good spot to go to - The location and the staff were very nice to us
• Mathew (10/5): -
• Nathan (10/5): -
• Mathias (3/5): Ok to get through the night but overall unpleasant. - The room was reasonably clean No shampoo, no nightstand light, no hair dryer, WiFi not working, and overall run down and neglected.
• ARGELIS (8/5): - El baño estaba sucio
• Jorge (10/5): -
• francine (10/5): - Management was very kind and helpful. It was nice knowing they keep a good watch of the property.
• VINCENT (3/5): -
• Murray (8/5): I was very satisfied with the assistance of the management. - The management was very polite and helpful. There' should be a coffeemaker in the room with accessories. There should be complimentary shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom.
• OST (10/5): - N/A Everything was great
• Thomas (3/5): -
• Jorge (8/5): - .
• Eli (2/5): - Bedding was filthy. Staff was great about changing sheets but not the dirt of thing you should have to ask for. Walls, furniture and bathroom were all run down and disgusting. Please avoid
• Ray (4/5): - Just a room two chairs, an extra head board left attached to wall next to the poor bed amateurish paintings on tbe dirty walls . No extra lock on door . Basically you get what you pay for.
• Luis Estrada (10/5): -
• Ayala (3/5): Poor - 15 minutes left for check out and they knocked on my door asking for the key
• Carlos (10/5): - Excellent place to rest excellent price
• American (1/5): This place could be better. It's cheap though - that's a plus. - Liked: I liked the Battles Neighborhood Market, the Mexican restaurant and barbershop across the street on McClelland Street. It's a nicer property than the crime-ridden motel across the street. Disliked: the dangerous zone of the city that this business creates for us all. It's like a red zone area in the Netherlands, taboo happenings everywhere - only for adults 21 years of age and up There's schools nearby, for Pete's sake.
• Patricia (7/5): Good -
• Melissa (4/5): Dirty - Room was dirty , walls very dirty , headboard dirty
• Keith (10/5): Exceptional -
• American (5/5): Decent and pleasant stay overall - thank you "Mrs. A"! - Liked: Room 117 being A.D.A. accessible. Plus it has a neat little kitchenette area in the back next to the bathroom. One of the windows in the bathroom lacks privacy and they should fix that soon. Just offering some helpful and kind advice. Decent and pleasant stay overall.
• Fulton (1/5): Bad - They had no room when I arrived and still haven't received my refund the owner said yes to but won't reply to a email from booking.com They had no room when I arrived and still haven't received my refund the owner said yes to but won't reply to a email from booking.com
• Mike (10/5): - The staff greet me with joy and a smile and the door is comfortable
• Brianna (1/5): Bad - Nothing Everything
• Brenda (2/5): - It was very noisy are, restroom was dirty and only half a toilet paper left. Would not recommend
• Jon (2/5): Had to check out early due to health issues - Nothing. Since room was prepaid, stayed in a room that was the "best" of the 3 rooms I was shown and stayed only 3 nights. Rooms smelled of dust when heater turned on. My allergies flared as there were other odors in the room, not sure what they were
• Kara (2/5): - This place is rough and dirty. Stay somewhere else if you can.
• Scott (8/5): Not too bad - Took a while to get checked in due to the person not being in the office when we got there, they had to be found by another employee. Bed was rather hard but better than sleeping in the truck. Otherwise was a nice place to stay.
• Adrian (6/5): Pleasant -
• Alexandria (10/5): - Had a great stay very clean and quiet I would go back anytime
• Britta (6/5): Unless you really need to save 20 bucks —- - Super nice host but… room was a bit well - let’s just say floor was filthy. Grounds run down. Safe enough, secure enough but wish I had spent alittle more to feel less grungy. Tried to save money. Next time probably won’t.
• Kyden (4/5): Cockroaches and panties - This motel was a second option because there was an error in my previous motel. I checked in, walked into the room and saw around 3-4 cockroaches scurry across the floor. I promptly killed them, and didn’t walk around without shoes on again. No bedbugs which was good, but there was wadded up toilet paper and a pair of womens panties stuffed under the bed. As well as a used bar of soap in the shower. The bed was comfortable enough for one night. But the cleanliness was really a problem.
• George (2/5): - It was full or cockroaches
• Verified traveler (4/5): Avoid if possible - Super dirty and other guests were loud and obnoxious
• Dan (4/5): - Many internet connectivity issues. Room cleanliness, especially the shower.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The owners were very nice. And the room was clean and quite
• J (6/5): - The property was okay. Nothing particularly great about the property, but also not the worst hotel we have stayed at. The walls were extremely thin and we could actually hear the people on the other end of the phone that our neighbor was talking to. Bathroom was a little dingy and the lighting was harsh. We stopped here because most other hotels/motels were sold out. I would probably try another place and see if we had better luck next time. But while we wouldn't recommend this property, I wouldn't begrudge anyone who decided to stay here.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Honestly I was tired I really liked how quite it was,
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Room was roach infested. Whole property likely infested. Nice employees.
• Charlene (10/5): - I love staying here when I'm in Santa Maria. They are always so friendly and courteous, even on short notice. The rooms are nice and big and very clean. You don't have to worry about paying extra for a microwave or refrigerator they are automatically included. The management makes sure all your needs are met.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Dirty room, noisy street,never again - When I entered the room I felt gravelly sand/dirt under my feet/shoes. I realized there was a layer of dirt on hard floor, bathroom area had footprint stains and furniture/lamps had thick layer of dust. I immediately requested front desk to sweep out the room. She spent 5-10 min barely sweeping/mopping. It would’ve taken 1/2 hr to an hr to clean that room. Ugh! Needless to say I didn’t sleep and woke early and left. Would’ve felt better sleeping in my car.😠
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Liked microwave but carpet and room smelled like cigarettes. There was cockroaches and price should have been cheaper for this stay.
• FLOR (10/5): - Very good
• Scott P (10/5): Hippy surf - The gentleman that checked me in was pleasant and checkin was quick. They have a little area where I could use my portable gas grill. A really nice “old school “ kind of hotel.
• Valerie (10/5): Great service - It's good service Paul is a great person with a lot of respect
• Duffie (10/5): 805 comfort - I love staying at the Buckboard motel. The staff is always very friendly and willing to help me out with anything i need
• Sandra (10/5): Satisfied - Great service!
• Eugene (6/5): Everything needs replacing. Really! - The price of the room was cheap, but everything at this place is old and outdated. Nothing has been updated in years!
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Once I get to the hotel the owner was trying charge me more for my hotel even tho I had already booked it he was rude
• Tom (10/5): - Good location for walking around town .Good location for walking around town .Good location for walking around town .
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It qas really good
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Nothing to get excited about one way or another. You get a bed, a bathroom and even a TV.
• Eric (6/5): Chit chat pow wow - Just a regular stay. Coming from another county to pick up mail. See family. Chit chat pow wow.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It was nice quiet alot of friendly people and employee
• VIRGINIA (8/5): Great for basic stay in town. - Very centrally located in Santa Maria close to grocery and transit
• Martin (4/5): Very noisy place - I think they rent rooms by the week or by the month, Many families that know each other in random rooms They spend all evening and part of the night yelling and use drugs and profanity in the parking lot Also someone was doing erepairs on the room above me until 11:45pm which did not let me sleep Very noisy place
• Manissa (2/5): Unprofessional host - They booked us in a room that was under repair!!! Then charged us $80.00 for the room!!!!
• Pete (6/5): Cheap - you get what you pay for - This is a cheap hotel and I knew it, that is why my marks are anything above "Terrible". It has everything one may need to spend a night out of the elements, but I believe the reason the rates are so low is because they skip on maintenance. Broken window screens, hole in the wall, scuffed furniture, old carpet. The bed was clean, but if you have any respiratory issues, you may have problems in a room that was probably used by smokers in the past.
• Dustyn (8/5): Cheap and clean - It was okay. After a long day of work all you can want is a bed. And that's what it is.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Very noisy with thin walls and doors. Minimal hot water. Lots of smokers congregating in the parking lot having lively conservations.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Room smelled gross, and when I flushed the toilet the water started to rise up and over flowed . We called the staff and we didn’t get a response until the morning. Super unsanitary. Worse experience ever. Yet I still got charged full price for the one night. Never again.
• jon (8/5): Adequate for the Price - Adequate for the price - soft drink vending machine was inoperable
• Verified traveler (2/5): - This was the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed at. Blood or red lipstick on towels, dirty floors, dust on all furniture.
• Charlene (10/5): - They are so nice the management is WONDERFUL. Rooms are clean and the air conditioning works.
• TIM (6/5): CHEAP BUT NOISEY - GOOD LOCATION BUT THE NOISE LEVEL OF THE STREET IS BAD. EARPLUGS MIGHT HELP, AND THRERE IS NO COFFEE MAKER. IT IS YOUR BASIC CAR MOTEL AND CRAMPED PARKING, THE OWNER IS OK BUT NOT VERY FRIENDLY, ROOM IS BLAND AND MINIMULIST AT BEST.
• Charlene (10/5): My experience - Very kind and helpful staff. They were courteous and kind.
