This property came with quite a few extras. They provided chairs, towels for the beach, bikes, and it has a really nice coffee area upstairs on top floor with great view. Rooms were comfortable, had a great spa tub. However, Property needs a little work. Stairs and floors have a really weird design. Several times chairs and bikes were not available. Even though they offered them out to guest for free. It was first come first serve. Some Guest just got them early and kept them all day for themselves. Overall, it’s a nice property and a good location. I hope they keep putting money into it.

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.

Was not worth the money. We had beds that were so high we needed a stool to get in bed. They have danish and coffee on the roof which is 4 flights up. I elevators. The whole experience was very disappointing.

We were put in a room on the 2nd fl with no elevator and the 2 beds were almost 4ft off the ground with not even a step stool. The overall condition of the Inn was in need of serious remodeling. No phone, no bell service. We are in our 80's and had to carry our luggage to our room with NO offer of help! Could not wait to leave. NEVER AGAIN

Upon check in, no rooms were available and either was parking- also very tight spaces. After waiting half hour we were given a room that was second rate at best. A mouse kept me up all night scratching at the wall in the room. Didn’t get any sleep as I’m a light sleeper. Informed front desk at 6 in the morning and just got an apology, no refund or change of room. Had to go sleep on the beach until checkout so I could feel rested for the drive home. Having amenities to use was nice, however the bikes were pretty rusty and couldn’t adjust the seats. Don’t recommend this hotel for the price I paid. Save your money.
