we stayed in the West Meadows suite, the room is very nice and clean. However, it is a bit too far from the lobby/parking lot and you have to walk to there most the time (unless you want to call the hotel service for ride each time you want to go out). Overall, it is a nice experience and i... more

We stayed for the first time in Avila Beach, going to Alapay Winery for a pick-up party. We wanted to experience the mineral waters and spa. For what they charge for rooms, they need to spend money to bring in new furnature and carpet, and not bring in second-hand things from another property. The outside hot-tub will need replacing soon... more

I booked a basic one bedroom suite with mineral hot spa in the balcony. The location is a bit odd. Its in the woods but off of a major street, not the easiest to find but if you pay attention to the sign its not difficult. If you drive out a few minutes there's a mini downtown area by the... more

We love this place. We went here for my fiance's B-Day on Labor Day weekend. This place has so many nature activities that you can do and it is less than 10 mins drive to downtown Pismo Beach. We checked in on Saturday afternoon and went for a walk on one of the trails. When we got back, we soaked... more

I booked a massage. Your treatment allows a soak in the mineral springs (dirty) Upon arriving, the girl at the front asked us if we could 'just wait' for a locker because they were running low. We had no place to put our purses/clothes,etc. We ended up sharing a locker. The bathroom/changing area was filthy with trash spilling out of... more

My wife and I have stayed here three times, but I only recommend it if you can get a deal and you really talk with the receptionist about which rooms to pick. Ask if your room has been recently renovated. Website can be a bit confusing. Our favorites are in the Noble building - although the beds are only Queen,... more

My friend recommended this place, but was a bit concerned after reading all the bad reviews. However, we were pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed this place. Maybe it was because we stayed in the West Meadow Suites that we didn't have any complaints regarding the room. We love having our own private hot tub and it was really quiet.... more

Rooms vary in size, age, etc. Also - some have mineral water and some have fresh (tap) water. The public tubs by the hour have mineral water but they add chlorine (required by law). So the only way to get unadulterated mineral water is to book a room with the mineral water. That being said, we loved our King Suite... more

My boyfriend and I decided to take a last minute weekend getaway and I had cut out an ad for Sycamore Springs that they had run in one of our local papers. The ad and the website both made the location look very modern, spa-like, and up-to-date. When I called we were told there was a suite with a private... more
