The owners of Santa Maria seem to think that by adding lace curtains and a few dried flowers, they can magically turn a budget hostel into a mid-range hotel. They can't.

There is no reason why anyone would pay $15 for these rooms, rather than $8 for the nearly identical ones on Avenida Antiguo Teatro Gonzales.
