Stayed in June 2025. Great location in Avila Beach—you can hear the surf from your room, and we weren’t even in an oceanfront room. Bicycles to borrow, and breakfast is included. A small menu, but quality! They do lattes and mochas that are top notch, and eggs and pastries. In the evening, they have pie and ice cream available. This hotel is a great value in a cute little beach town.

Spanish art and south American pottery craft are scattered throughout the rooms and public spaces. A roof top patio where you you can enjoy a complementary breakfast while immersing yourself in the sounds of the waves on the beach below and the view of the bay and pacific Ocean is the piece de resistance.

And no Elevator and the doors were all keys no keyless.

Quaint hotel

We had a lovely time. The breakfast was great with options to choose and the view is wonderful! The room was fine for our family. The only thing that would of made it outstanding is an elevator to the Sun deck. Be prepared to walk up the stairs for breakfast 🙂

Unfortunately there was no hot water and the TV was difficult to use. The room was very spacious, but lacked sufficient lighting (brightness). The complimentary breakfast was great!!

This property is cozy, clean and quiet. I liked walking out the front to the beach and down the street for shopping and food. They have beach towels at the front door, self serve coffee/tea, and pie in the evenings. It's a fun place. The staff is very helpful.

We loved our stay on the 3rd floor ocean side- we heard the waves all during our stay. We walked on the beach right across the street. We thoroughly enjoyed the croissants and bacon egg casseroles on the Sun Deck with espresso coffee drinks.
