Wished they had an elevator, climbing stairs to 3rd floor was a workout.

The scenery was great. Especially when having breakfast.

Such a cute property with great views from the sundeck looking out over the Pacific Ocean. Breakfast was delicious with EXCELLENT coffee. Lots of great value added, like free evening pie a la mode! Also the tub in our room was huge!

The hotel has rustic charm, which is not everyone’s thing. The room we stayed in did not have a window and smelled a bit musty at first, but opening the skylight a crack cleared it right out. Parking can be challenging (narrow stalls) but we managed just fine.

Fabulous location overlooking Avila beach. Great sun deck with breakfast overlooking the ocean. Staff were very friendly and the rate was fair. There are cute little amenities like free coffee all day long and a free espresso and pastry bar for breakfast. They also serve pies and ice cream at night. Not luxurious but honest and full of character.

No elevator, but assistants were available.

Quaint, comfortable and close to beach and shopping.

Great location. Good breakfast on a rooftop. Free bikes, free towels/parasol/chairs for the beach. Great room with a nice style.

I’m sure everybody else will say the same thing. It is a quaint, quirky, fun place to stay. When you show up after a long day of driving and you are exhausted, not so much. You have to haul all your stuff up 3 flights of stairs and your tired legs complain. You try to relax but the sun is facing your room (even though you don’t have a view of the ocean) and there is no air conditioner. It is 90 degrees in there and all you have is a fan. You open all the windows and even the door to get some air. Not good.

Location-you can walk from the hotel to anywhere in town in 5 minutes. In your bare feet! The breakfast on the sundeck was simply awesome. Made me want cappuccinos every day!

No elevator! We are 78 and 79 it’s tough for us to take our luggage up two flights of stairs - not impossible, but tough. Of course we could have gotten the rooms on the second floor!!! And not taken both bags up!!!!

Ocean view room with a day bed on the balcony. Pie and ice cream in the evening - rooftop breakfast in the morning.

No one at the front desk for chunks of time

Location was amazing, food and amenities were great

The bed needs to be replaced. The toilet tissue holder was missing. The room needed more light.

Staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The location and room location was great.

Not really a complaint, but building was a bit difficult to navigate, all stairs everywhere.

The location was wonderful. The roof terrace was lovely, and the breakfast was very good. Pie and ice cream between 7-8 was a fun addition. Staff was very attentive and helpful.

Loved it all!

We loved Inn at Avila Beach! As others have said (which helped us select the hotel ourselves), the special touches make this a gem of a stay. We took advantage of the breakfast on the sky deck (everything was delicious), the pie and ice cream in the evening, the coffee/tea and snacks throughout the day, and the free bikes and beach gear. We did it all, and we felt completely spoiled. On top of all that, the room was beautiful. We loved the wood paneling and ocean-inspired tile; lovely interior. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and the location in Avila Beach was superior. We had an incredible stay and look forward to a repeat visit as soon as possible.

Our room faced the interior parking lot, and it could get loud with cars starting and people coming and going all night.

Great location. Theme and rooms were cute and felt very “beachy”.

Building is older but so clean and comfortable, not a problem.

Amazing location, impeccably clean, friendly staff.

Our room seemed very dark and the bed was too high for me. I had to climb in and then slide out, next visit i would request a different room with a lower bed.

The location was amazing . The staff were great. We loved the pie and ice cream in the evening and enjoyed using the sun deck.

Location! Sun deck was a great view, breakfast & cappuccino was so nice on the sun deck every morning! Our room was spacious, jet tub, fireplace!

No elevator

Such a cute place. I loved the decor and the small seating areas tucked away throughout the property

Stayed in June 2025

For the price, it was not worth it. Rooms were clean, but in rough shape. No AC, just provided with a fan. The back rooms do not get the breeze off the ocean. Lots of stairs! Staff was super nice! Bathrooms need updating, but had good water pressure.

Loved the coffee/breakfast bar in the morning! Loved the location!

Stayed in June 2025

The room looked dingy. Couldn't get the tv and fireplace to work. Could use a new bed.

Liked the breakfast. Was delicious! The servers worked really hard and provided great service! Love the location. Walking distance to beach and shops was perfect!
