I had a fantastic stay at the Inn at Avila Beach, and I felt right at home thanks to the exceptional staff and cozy atmosphere. The quirky room decor was a refreshing change from the norm, and the ocean views were absolutely breathtaking. Although the power went out during my second night, the staff handled it wonderfully by providing a rooftop grilling experience, which turned into a fun evening. Overall, it was a great experience, but I would have loved to have better weather during my stay.

I had a blast at the Inn At Avila Beach! The stunning ocean views from the rooftop terrace were a huge plus, and the staff was super friendly and made me feel right at home. However, I noticed that some amenities have changed – no more pizza and beer on the rooftop, and the evening pie was served without ice cream this time. Overall, it was a great stay, but I do miss those little extras that used to be included.

I had a great experience at this hotel, located right on the beach with beautiful views and easy access to nearby shops and restaurants. The rooms were clean and exceeded my expectations, although I would advise against choosing the interior courtyard rooms since they felt hot and dark. The staff was friendly and made my stay enjoyable. However, the dining experience was somewhat limited, particularly during certain hours when amenities were unavailable due to weather. Overall, it offers good value for money, especially given its prime location.
