Nice ocean view. Loved sitting on the grass and watching the pelicans hunt for fish. It is an easy, short walk to front street. It would be nice if they had a restaurant on the property with indoor and outdoor seating and a bar. The beds are comfortable but you can hear the next door neighbors, and above you, walking back and forth all night long and early morning. Overall, it is a nice place to stay and we will stay again.

The one king suite is a great room! The private bedroom is perfect. It had 2 separate bathrooms and a full kitchen. The only issue was the heater in the living room area didn’t work. The bedroom did, but the living room was cold. We love how you can walk to the main area of Avila.

Beautiful property, terrible beds

I’ve been coming to this hotel for decades. Its location is incredible, the grounds are beautiful and offer a lot of great amenities. It’s a little “stuck in time” but we’ve always found that charming. We also love that the rooms have a little kitchen to prepare food. It has always been a place to rest and restore. But the beds have finally met their expiration date. They are beyond lumpy and completely unusable. The worst I’ve experienced anywhere. We had to leave after one night even though we intended to stay 5. The front desk is very aware that all the beds are bad yet are still renting rooms at full price, offering to put boards under the mattress or add a topper. A usable bed is the bare minimum for comfort at any hotel. Hilton needs to close this location entirely until the new beds are in and room remodels are complete. I will be back in a year to see if Hilton has improved things.
