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.

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!

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
