Hotel with a so called."3.5 Star rating" with upfront robbery of 5 star Price at a 1 star customer service! Pros -> Beach front ->Good quality mattress & pillows CONS: ->Reception/Lobby, or ACTUALLY A Gift shop with a Reception area spot! ->There was a water problem but would not even give 1 bottle of water for each guest, 2 bottles for 3 guests and its a hot day!!! ->No one ever clean our room, the carpet is sticky! -> I was in the middle of packing for our departure, since the day before no one cleaned the room, so at least someone can bring 4 laundry bags to the room, " no one is available to take them," no one is still in housekeeping". ( 7:30 am) Are you kidding me, this is a $650 per night suite (inc, taxes) and no housekeeping personnel and no change of linen, no cleaning the day before? ->Lying is very serious; we booked for an upper floor King Suite with sofa Bed. I changed it to 2 queen size bed on the lower floor since I was told while we were still on the way that the " The elevator ONLY operates up to our floor and does NOT go on the upper floor, only the stairway is the only way to go up,so since my husband has mobility issue I said I will take the ower floor " So my normally skeptical self, trusted the staff, downgraded my accommodation at the upgraded price, only to find out on the day of out departure that the elevator goes to the upper floor as well (they call it 2nd but actually its literally the third floor) Give your business somewhere else!

This was our second time staying here and loved it each time. It’s located directly across the street of the beach and restaurants and shops are just a short walk away. Clean. Hot breakfast is included. It’s the perfect place for a family get away.

It's all in the little details! Aside from the modern clean rooms and property, the fresh baked cookies and water in the lobby were a very nice touch. We were surprised to hear that there was a wonderful complimentary breakfast every morning!! That set the tone of each day, just right! Our views from our balcony was so amazing every day. We watched as the staff cleaned up the pool and the cushions from the outdoor furniture every day. Everyone smiled when we passed them. Housekeeping was so kind and courteous as well as front desk staff. The hotel is dog-friendly and the comp treats was a bonus. Everything was almost perfect. The only complaint we have is the AC/fan in the room was very hard to regulate. It would turn off every time we opened our balcony door and that was often. We had to leave the windows open so the room wouldn't get so stuffy but then the noise in the mornings was pretty loud since our room was next to the main walkway to the pool and dining hall. Even at night, we couldn't set AC/fan to kick on properly and we would wake up with 75-76 degree temps. But overall, we love Avila and we love this property!

Spring Break in Avila

Great stay at Avila Lighthouse Suites. It was a first time staying in the area. Beautiful views and beach without being overly crowded, and close to Pismo and downtown San Luis Obispo. Free Breakfast was a pleasant surprise and was really great, freshly cut fruit, hot items, and the other basic continental fare. Overall we would stay here again!
