There was a heavy downpour and wind that revealed a leaky window. The property was nice, but a little lacking with delayed maintenance. Close to dining and piers.
From the deck where breakfast was served.

All staff here is amazing! Very helpful. It's confusing getting to our room and a lot of walking up and down stairs as we are on the 3rd floor. When lost a staff member walked us up the stairs and even carried one of my bags! Garage parking has very small stalls. We couldn't get in and out of our car. And when we moved the car we scraped the front corner of our car on the wall. We moved to parking in front on the street and that was much better. The free ice cream, breakfast, and pie with ice cream were all nice amenities. Our room was almost like a castle entrance and we had a great view. It was big, spacious, and clean.

The property and room was nice , enjoyed the the sun deck and the treats. Very clean rooms . Only downfall was parking , it is limited and small. We took a dodge truck . And the parking around the area is normally taken due to being open to the public. Room didn't have AC which maybe normal in the area, we had gone on a warm weekend. Overall it was a good stay.

NOT GOOD! ...had to wait for a key (no electronic keys) because the office, had an electronic key but the office wouldn't open, staff (who was really nice!) had to hammer & drill the office lock/door open... the room wasn't any better, the TV was disconnected, the bed was bowed like it was used a million times, I literally stuck to the leather chairs like they weren't cleaned, the shower water pressure was none existent... I'd rate 2 or 3 out of 10! ...the free "Pecan Pie & Ice Cream" was really good but not even close for me to return.

Great time staying at the Inn at Avila. Staff is friendly , easy check in and out. The rooftop is a great place to chill and play board games or sip coffee! The morning coffee & baked pastries were perfect. The rooms need some updating , beds especially but it’s a cute spot with the beach footsteps away!

The property needs some maintenance, better towels and a fan, because it gets hot at night. The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast was excellent.
