So many little touches not found in other hotels - complimentary snacks and water in the room, heated towel warmer, ceiling fan… not to mention all the extra little receptions - wine and cheese at 6pm, pie at 8pm, and to do for croissants for breakfast. Didn’t even need to leave the hotel to find food! Will definitely go back.

5.0 / 10.0

Vibe: From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is great--decorated in a Hacienda style that feels warm & authentic. Everything is clean & feels relatively new. Some minor scuffs on high traffic areas & some areas of the rug are visibly worn but not gross in anyway. Music playing & fireplace going, create a vibe that makes you feel instantly relaxed. Room: We stayed in a standard room, but it was well equipped with: • Mini kitchenette with the basics for light cooking. • Cozy fireplace & private balcony. • Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. • Pristine linens: towels, robes, and bedding were in excellent condition & smelled wonderfully fresh. Hotel toiletries smelled divine. Amenities: The service here is next-level. You are treated like a VIP all day long with an endless rotation of treats, all included in the stay: • Basket of snacks, bottle of champagne, lil grazing plate await you in your room. • Croissant breakfast & fresh cookies. • Happy Hour, Wine Hour, & even a Pie Hour! Staff: Check-in was seamless. The staff is exceptionally attentive & friendly. Convenient underground parking (or easy street parking) is a huge plus. Location: location is great--one block from the beach & minutes away from the golf course. Walking distance to food & wine tasting. The only minor point worth noting: the walls are a bit thin. You can hear doors opening and closing in the hallway, and if you have a loud neighbor that snores you will hear them--maybe bring ear plugs:-)

This hotel is a gem if you are looking for a botique style stay. The design is colorful with a lot of attention to details. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Everything is clean. The service is extremely friendly and welcoming. There are a number of complimentary food servings during the day in the common area (morning croissants, afternoon wine tasting, etc.).

5.0 / 10.0

A great place to stay for adults! Our room was clean and snacks are provided for free. There was a room to either exchange the snacks for different ones or buy extra snacks. That same room also provides movies to borrow and chairs to take to the beach. There are several times to get food for free. It was so much fun.

3.0 / 10.0

Weird experience here. I stayed on my way to LA and it was an impulse booking. I was greeted with a very unfriendly staff at reception. The hotel and room are dated but clean. There was no shampoo and the shower water temp was lukewarm so it made for a less than enjoyable morning. The staff later was kind and offered treats in the lobby which I appreciated. Won't stay here again

Like stepping back in time to an era of full custom service. Hand prepared charcuterie board in the room with a bottle of champagne on arrival, grab and go snacks and drinks, happy hour cocktail and snacks, late night pie, and friendly smiles. Honestly haven’t seen that in decades. Why stay in SLO when this is right down the road in a splendid coastal setting.

4.0 / 10.0

The hotel is nice; however, the main issue is that you don’t always get the room you selected on Expedia. Regardless of the room you reserve and pay for, the hotel may reassign you to a different one based on availability, without notifying you in advance — simply because you made the reservation through Expedia and not directly on the hotel’s website.

The room was clean, cozy and the staff was friendly. The Spanish vibes were inviting and the complimentary snacks throughout the day was something we looked forward to.

8.0 / 10.0

They had several free dining opportunities. Breakfast was croissants, juice, coffee and fruit. Afternoon was chips and salsa beer. Happy hour was charcuterie tray and wine, after dinner was pie and ice cream. These were all delicious. The hotel is older and several upgrades could be made. Furniture is very old and scratched. Too much furniture for such a small room. Stand alone air conditioner very noisy. Large refrigerator, electric stove and dishwasher were not necessary for us. There are convenient eateries within walking distance. Shower door would not close properly and a few light bulbs needed to be replaced. We were near the beach and view from our balcony was asphalt parking structure. This was our first time and probably our last.

Adorable spanish style hotel just a block from the beach, with extras like daily wine receptions, breakfast, beer and salsa in the afternoon and pie for dessert in the evening. Nice roomy jacuzzi tub. Wish the toilets weren't so low to the ground (kinder on the knees for your older clients). Dining and shopping options just outside the front door. Beautiful beach with little crowds.

5.0 / 10.0

Stayed for two nights mid-week. It's really everything you can ask for in a small property so close to the beach, without all the major hotel chain fluff thown in. From the warm check in experience which included going over all amenities such as the pantry, wifi, parking and the welcome basket waiting for you in the room(which items can be exchanged for what you want in the pantry. Water for coke, popcorn for beef jerky. Just swap it, no hassle and nobody to talk to). The room has a full kitchen, a small island table in the middle with a nice Samsung TV and a balcony. The bathroom is famtastic as well with a large soaker tub and his + hers sinks. One thing to note is the toilet doesn't have a lid and it's located directly in front of the shower. As this is an older property that makes sense, just personal preference. In closing: from the curated decor and friendly staff, to the daily homemade croissants, wine tastings and nacho bar(oh and pie time from 8-9!), this is truly the only place you should stay in the Avila Beach, SLO or Pismo area. 11/10

This is a very charming small hotel (maybe 30 or so rooms?), kept in immaculate condition, and staffed by some of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet. They went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. The area is very scenic, and there are numerous stores and restaurants for those so inclined. We will definitely be back !

A great hotel. I will be back.
