“The best kept secret in Avila!”

This is not a standard hotel experience. There is no white paint, rather, a custom designed 'hecho a mano' feel richly permeating the place. The ambiance of this amazingly modest priced inn makes it a super find. There are no words to describe the sublimely understated perfection of the sundeck. Anyone who knows Avila Beach, and the real, original, appeal of Avila will recognize the priceless quality of a night spent in the intimacy of room 302. The staff give a comfortable and cozy feeling from the desk clerk who checks guests in, straight through to the impeccable cleanliness that the housekeeping staff provide. This is truly the best place to relax in Avila! The Custom House is a block away so you need not drive at all to have a fine dinner and delicious drink. There is also a in walking distance a cocktail lounge that often features live music .

“Great Service & Location”

This hotel may be aging, but its location coupled with the incredible service of the hotel staff overcome any signs of age. The rooftop deck is more like a rooftop home away from home. You can grill, watch TV/Movies, or just relax in a hammock overlooking the beach! I'd return and have recommended to friends.

“unique and lots of perques that you actually notice...and really want!!!”

This place is fab! All the bottled water, microwave popcorn, hot cocoa and coffee you can imagine. Plus the Great Room, with wireless internet, nice glass stemware, a big fireplace with beautiful decor...and it's RIGHT on the beach!!! Plus the staff is SOOOOOOOOOOO nice and lovely, wonderful, helpful, fun, respectful. And it's within so few miles of wonderful exploits...wineries, restaurants, the Madonna Inn, sand power walking, the beach!!!!!

“Looking forward to my next stay!”

Everything was great. I highly recommend the ocean view rooms for anyone wanting a special get away at the beach!

“Great Deal, Great Location, lots of extras”

Although a bit dated, hotel is located in great location, had a kitchen, stove, frig, table, Cable, TV, DVD & VHS, Free movies. Cannot beat the price for the locations. Roof top sunset, BYO.

“Can't wait to go back”

The Inn doesn't look like much from the out side, but We were quite surprised when we entered the room. Great location except there is a lot of construction going on around the Inn. We will be going back soon.

“Cant wait to o back!”

After too many days in Los Angeles, we absolutely fell in love with quiet little Avila Beach and this quirky little inn. The rooftop terrace with outdoor living rooms is a great touch and we enjoyed sipping cocktails while looking out on the beach. Video and LP libraries are an unexpected plus. Guests have access to water bottles, cutlery, BBQs, dishes and the advice of the friendly staff. We had planned to stay one night but ended up staying three. It's a quiet little beach town where you can get away from it all and the Inn at Avila was charming. Rooms vary widely, so ask questions. Room 303 has its own living room and a mini-balcony (you can stand on it but there's no room for chairs). Lots of extra pillows and blankets are provided, as are robes. It's not the Beverly Hills Hilton, but we loved its quirkiness and funky Mexican decor and the fact that you can hear the waves crashing onshore at night, rather than traffic and sirens.

“Excellent would definitely go back”

The hotel was in an excellent location. Small and intimate and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The sun deck was ideal for relaxing with beautiful views.

“View from the roof”

My favorite part of this hotel is the roof. It is the best place at Avila Beach to watch to sunset. The cabanas, BBQs and comfortable seating just add to the experience.

“4 star hotel at a 2 star price”

The Inn at Avila Beach offers a large comfortable room and with full bath and kitchen.The staff are very friendly and helpful and the amenities include unlimited free bottled water, hot chocolate, microwave popcorn and a large selection of movies. the hotel is located by the beach and convenient to restaurants and bars in the area. Avila is a small but charming romantic town just minutes from Pismo Beach and SLO. There's a golf course in town and several within a half hour drive. There are also several day spas in the area along with walking trails, fishing and beach activities. I plan to go back again later this year for a week and stay in one of the ocean facing hotel rooms.
