Walking distance to a lot. Super close to the beach. Room was very cute.

When we showed up we were told our reservation was cancelled. A slight mix up that they made up for by putting us in a better room and offering us an even better room for our second night.

Amazing location! Huge room! Super comfy bed with soo many excellent pillows! Gorgeous spa tub and fabulous shower. We just loved our room! The whole building was beautiful, with little gardens and plants all over. The staff was great! Very professional but also friendly and welcoming. Each person we engaged with stood out in some way. And oh my- the breakfast on the sun deck! Delicious food and coffee with the most amazing ocean view! The gentleman running the breakfast was on point- he even ran down to get us a bottle of champagne when we mentioned mimosas! This place is the opposite of a cold, fancy, cookie-cutter hotel. All personality and charm with subtle luxury. By far, favorite hotel I've ever stayed at. We will be back!

Great location - 30 seconds to Avila Beach and within a minute of restaurants and shops. Great breakfast that was included - I had a great Americano, egg&cheese souffle and a tasty, "real" croissant - most places don't have real croissants, but so very happy that Inn at Avila did it right. Room was clean, nice and generally quiet - we were on the 2nd floor, and could hear the people above us on 3rd floor walking around - not overly loud, but definitely could hear them moving about, but luckily, they went to bed about the same time as us.

This my new favorite hotel! Terrific staff, comfy room, perfect location on the beach in town. Now add complementary fresh-baked pie and ice cream in the evening and an outstanding breakfast on the rooftop terrace overlooking the beach, and what's not to love?

No AC in the room, but that's rarely an issue at the beach. It did have a very cute little fireplace for cool evenings. In fact, the whole room was cute and charmingly decorated.

The view is wonderful, breakfast on the rooftop overlooking the ocean is another wonderful. Bed was very comfortable. Almost forgot they have bikes to ride, chairs and towels for the beach and also sand toys.

We couldn't get the tv to work but that was fine and we didn't request help. We lived near Avila before moving to northern CA and always wanted to stay here. Guess we didn't realize how old the hotel is and how you can hear the people above you (showers at 4:30 am) but it was still worth staying here and checking it off our list of quirky places to stay. The Staff was so friendly.

There are rare hotels that go beyond expectations because of imaginative service and facilities. The Inn at Avila Beach is among these, so even though it isn't a super-luxury hotel (for instance, it does not have elevators to the second and third floors), it provides an exceptional experience. A video fireplace and a jacuzzi in every room, free ice cream and popcorn, a beautiful rooftop lounge overlooking the Pacific, a free breakfast on said rooftop lounge with wonderful coffee, croissants and omelets, and an ice cream-and-pie hour from 7:00 to 8:00 PM are examples. The motel is chock full of secret nooks and crannies where you can eat the delicious pie in the evening. A short walk from the beautiful Avila Beach alone makes this a special experience. The owners have wonderful imaginations and aesthetics, and this is a memorable experience that I won't forget soon.

Checkout is at 11 rather than 12. There is little in the place that I didn't like.

Perfect location, excellent staff, cute extras, and large balcony with gorgeous views.

We had a very nice stay, though I do feel like we got the "Booking.com" room (205) as it was more outdated than others, right on the housekeeping service closets, and had little way to block out the security lights from the corner which shone brightly into the bathroom and sitting area. Some curtains could help with this. A newer fan could also enhance the stay, the current fan has seen better days and makes a lot of extra noise. Had a nice time regardless and may consider again, but would probably book directly and be more specific about my needs.

The young man at the desk was very informative and warm welcoming. The staff and manager as well. The rooms were clean and the bed comfortable. We got a nice view from our room balcony of the ocean. It was also nice be able to leave the sliding doors open during the night to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean waves. We really enjoyed the complementary evening pie and ice cream provided for us by the Inn. The individual pie was delicious and brought in from the local bakery. Also, enjoyed our morning continental breakfast up in the patio area with a great view. Thanks to all the staff for making our first time and wonderful one. We will definitely be back!

Rooftop coffee bar with included breakfast was an amazing place to spend the day relaxing and enjoying views of the pier and beach. Located within easy walking distance of several restaurants and shops. Nightly pie and ice cream made for a nice end to the day.

Great Location! Rooftop patio with ample seating and an unobstructed view of the pacific. Midweek is complete silence with only the sound of the waves. Pie and ice cream in the evenings and a delicious breakfast with specialty coffee every morning. Beware of thieving seagulls. We watched one snag a croissant off a lady's plate!! The staff is great!! Beach cruiser bikes are available but we didn't use.

The bed is amazingly comfortable once you get past the heavy wood frame it's surrounded by. Not all rooms have that type of bed but this one did and if you're 5'2" or shorter, it's a challenge to get into because it's also very tall. The spa tub which I didn't use is awkwardly placed in front of the only widow with a partial view of the ocean. The maze of stairways and passages is a little difficult to navigate. No elevator.
