We had a very spacious room and loved the Spanish style decor. The rooftop coffee bar and pastries were a nice addition to our stay and was complimentary. They had ice cream and pie in the evening, also complementary. We had to contact staff about water leaking from the ceiling in the bathroom. The guests above us let the kids flood out the floor with the whirlpool bath. It was handled swiftly by staff and management was at my door within a couple of minutes to remedy the problem. They called later to apologize and ask if we needed a different room. We didn’t need another room but very impressed with the timeliness of the situation by staff and management. Would definitely stay here again.

Such a great location, right on the ocean! Super cute and cozy rooms with robes, towels for the beach and warm pie each evening on the rooftop! The rooftop breakfast is also delicious and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Love this place!

Wow! What a gem of Avila Beach! We had a wonderful stay. This place was unexpected in the best way and our stay there ended up elevating our trip more than we expected. What was supposed to be a routine visit with family, turned into a mini romantic getaway. The amenities here are generous and top notch and the rooftop restaurant and coffee house was absolutely lovely! We’ll certainly be back!

I stopped here on my drive back down to LA from Oregon and I am so glad this was my last overnight stop!! What a charming and full of character little hotel by the sea! While there are some grounds up keep due to age of the property that could be addressed, this was a lovely little place to spend the night! I was in room 301- the fireplace and jacuzzi were spectacular to have in my room and I did indeed use them! The staff member who checked me in mentioned she was still training but she was wonderful and welcoming and the women who checked me out in the morning was as well! While I did not have a room that faced the ocean- mine overlooked the inner parking lot- I could still hear the waves and birds ! The 24/7 inner lobby area with water, tea, and coffee avail with the fireplace going was wonderful ! Even though I checked in around 10pm , there was still a pie left over from the amazing offering of daily fresh pies and ice cream! OH, and there is ice cream available as part of your stay too!!!! The rooftop over looking the beach and the ocean was fantastic! The pastries, latte, and egg casserole I had were SPECTACULAR! Loved my stay and I hope to visit again

Lovely little hotel, quirky yep...but in good way. Common areas have nice tranquil vibe, lots of plants and flowers. The beach... steps away. Shopping...steps away...restaurants...so many! So good! Had and excellent time...almost want to keep it a secret.

Hotel is right on the beach with shops and restaurants nearby. Breakfast on the sun deck was great with a wonderful view. The pie and ice cream was a lovely treat. The old charm of the rooms was inviting. The bathroom could have been bigger but we had a great stay.

We had a great stay at the Inn At Avila Beach, it was myself, my husband and 7 year old son. The location was perfect and we loved the breakfast and pie in the evenings! We had such a relaxing trip and can’t wait to come back.

What an Amazing weekend we had at Avila Beach. We went for our Anniversary and were so delighted with every single interaction with the staff. The location of this property could not have been better. We slept with the door open and the sound of ocean waves sang us to sleep. The view was amazing.
