We booked this at the last minute as we were in Yosemite NP during the Government Shutdown and had our reservation cancelled,. Instead of staying in the area, we decided to go for a beach stay. We paid $199 for a "Courtyard" room, which turned out to overlook the car park (no courtyard).
The hotel overlooks Avila Beach and is an ideal location, but only a few rooms have ocean views and have been renovated. The rest are "Courtyard" rooms and are very dark.
Our room was clean and comfortable, but we had to have the electric light on during daylight hours to enable us to see, there was so little light coming into the room.
The amenities are plenty, with no restriction on bottled water available at all times, freshly baked cookies are available during the day and freshly baked pies in the evening.
Beach chairs, toys, boogie boards etc are available at no charge for guests to take to the beach.
There is a roof area with seating and tables where one can sit with a drink and watch the sunset - that is if you can find space as the area was taken over for birthday/family parties when we were there.
As the hotel is so ideally situated for the beach, I would stay again but only in a ocean view room.
The 4 stars I have allocated are for the location amenities and friendliness.

Thank you for kind and thoughtful review .Last winter we restuccoed and repainted hotel,replaced
all hallways flooring ,redid all oceanfront units and updated our roof top deck. This winter
we will completely renovate all remaining rooms with new everything all way to studs and start over again .each room will have fireplace ,jacuzzi tub for two multi head showers, our goal is to be
top boutique hotel on coast ,with our incredible location ( we agree with your assessment you can't closer to ocean) . One areas we are addressing is lighting ,on top floor we are adding over 20 skylights.
The renovation will be completed by late Spring ...please stop in and take tour. If you have any additional suggestions please feel free to call hotel direct. I would love to hear your thoughts .

The Inn at Avila Beach is like staying at a friend's beach condo. Many of the comforts of home are available to you. Yes, you may find little things like peeling wallpaper, but there's a large flat screen in each room with a library of videos in the lobby if you want to decompress in your room, a refrigerator for keeping leftovers from one of the many great restaurants in the area, and a microwave for reheating those leftovers as a midnight snack. The lobby has coffee, an assortment of teas, and cold bottled water. If you've done wine tasting on the Central Coast, the sun deck is a great place to unwind with a bottle of wine you've picked up that day while watching the waves come in. Or, if you're in an ocean view room, sit on the balcony to watch the sun set. You will find families at the Inn, and they can be a bit noisy, but I marvel how it becomes so peaceful after dark. I missed the pies from the Avila Barn served in the lobby at 8 p.m. because the soothing sounds of the waves put me in relax mode and I took a little nap. That's okay, I needed the time to relax in a comfortable room with the ocean telling me to let go and live a little. We will be back.
I'm looking forward to the aforementioned renovations to see what's in store.

Room tip: Magnificent views on the sun deck, but ocean view room are worth the extra expense.

Inn is well located just across the road from the beach front. It's on a rise from the main "promenade" which improves the view. Saw dolphins from the balcony as the sun set. Inn is very friendly with Free cookies (nice too), hot chocolate and reasonable coffee all included. Hot fruit pies at 8pm also went down well.

On the downside, the building appears to be subsiding down the rise on the western end. You can see it on the stairs and on the bedside tables in our front corner room - objects slid off the table. It's not bad, but I hope the owners deal with it before any earthquakes.

Saw sea otters from the pier in the morning. Nice place!

Room tip: Highly recommend a room at the front looking over the ocean.

I made reservations for a Friday/Saturday night stay on the web site. Had an Ocean Front King room confirmed. Upon arrival was told I'd been assigned the "family suite" room, instead. I asked if it was "ocean front" and was told, "Oh, it has a living room, a bath...and the ocean view will be from the bedroom." This room is located on the 3rd floor, but overseeing the roof of a house and the ocean view blocked by the Hotel's sun deck. It was "old and tired"...the heater didn't work until my wife lit the pilot light. There was no balcony on which we love to sit and read...and it was generally a disappointment. So...if you book a room, be prepared for their reassignment. We won't return.

Room tip: Hope that the booking guarantee matches what you're assigned upon arrival? GOOD LUCK! We won't return.

Thank you for your recent review..We strive to do our best in accommodating all requests,but in some cases that doesnt appear possible . In checking with our staff you orginally DID book a family suite and when you arrived you, than requested oceanfront which was not available ,we tried our best we could to accommodate your last minute request and rearranged other guests stays ,to get you partial view .Again .we are very sorry that your stay was not as expected .

Often third party websites like one you booked are vague on differences in room types ,we always encourage guests to call ANY hotel direct ,so staff can accommodate your needs and desires .and some times confusing .We are doing our best to call back reservations made that way to be sure misunderstandings don't occur . Third party sites while excellent tool in identifying properties in area,rarely give you details that either hotel sites provide our talking with real person .. Particularly in non chain hotels like ours that have many different types of rooms.

Again, thank you for taking the time to write ,we are going through a major renovation of all rooms and will be done in Spring ,Fireplaces ,jacuzzi tubs for two ,multi head showers ,new everything including walls and floor treatments .But our hotel even after such major major renovation will still be 60 years old ,and have many different types of rooms and will retain its wonderful electic whimisical style . Shabby? we would disagree with your comments ,but if you are use to Motel 6 /Holiday Inn chain type hotels, clearly we are wrong hotel for you ,as we were this time . .We will never be that hotel ,but we try to whimiscal fun place to stay just steps from the water ..have good life and i hope you find room bliss ,wherever you go .
