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.

Location, location, location. Ideal for everything you need in Avila. We had a courtyard room 2nd floor. A little noisey from folks stomping around on the hallway/balcony/aisles and above for a bit. All quiet by 9:00. Lovely breakfast coffee counter on the rooftop, A+! Quality and service outstanding. Room was a little musty from the ocean influence. Could use a good scrub. Overall, would stay again.
