Hotels near Avila Beach, Avila Beach

I stayed at Spyglass Inn with my 11 yo daughter, my cousin, and her 10 yo. The girls enjoyed the hot tub and pool and we really LOVED the fire pit area. It was so beautiful outside with the flowers, the view and walking path. We got to make smores and watch the sunset! We did have an incident with our initial room where there were a bunch of gnats or flies, but the hotel staff responded quickly and moved our room. This was a bummer because that room felt more updated and had partial ocean view. We ended up in a lower level room with a nice back patio. It wasn't as updated as the first room, but it was still nice and did what we needed it too, which was to provide us a comfortable place to sleep. The room was bug free and there was enough space for the four of us. I wouldn't say it was the best room we've ever been in but overall it was fine. There is a portable fan, wifi, small fridge, desk, and chair, drawers for clothes if needed, and a tv. The TV was terrible quality BUT who needs a tv while you're on vacation anyways lol Lastly, it was quiet for us. We had no issues with noise. They have a microwave in the lobby and some free refreshments (coffee, tea, water). You can also purchase snacks from them. We would stay again specifically for the customer service and the outside fire pit area. Also, parking was included which was very much appreciated.

Very typical motel. But the conditions are very good. The scale is quite large, the terrace has a terrace, and a simple breakfast is available. The type is just right. You can park it downstairs, parking is free, and there are plenty of parking spaces. The room is very good, with a mini kitchen, a coffee machine, a microwave and a small refrigerator. The bathroom towels are also delicately stacked, and in general it is good on the road.

Perfect beach escape. Ocean front room with balcony. Firepits and sitting areas available everywhere to watch sunset. Easy stair access to the beach. Pier less than mile walk on beach. Multiple restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely book again

The rooms are small but immaculate and the location doesn’t get better than this it’s literally 20 yards from the beach and 15 yards to the pier. We park our car and there are at least 50 restaurants within walking distance we never get back into the car. Every year we have come we enjoy seeing the gray whales or humpback whales. And watching the dolphins surf with the surfers in the evening. The staff are amazing and the manager Michael is wonderful. This is our fourth trip there and we are already booked for next year

The hotel is right on the beach, the environment is good, but the room is very general, not worth the price, the hotel does not have a swimming pool, breakfast can only be eaten, the water is not smooth, it feels disgusting, but the hotel's large terrace is very comfortable with fire The equipment, other facilities besides the beach, because it is not so much to pay for a night, and the city center has not gone.

I’ve always wanted to stay at Madonna based on photos and reviews that I’ve seen online, but wasn’t sure if it would live up to the hype in person. It absolutely does! The rooms, restaurants, shops, and spa are all amazing. My best friend and I never left the hotel during our trip to SLO because we were too busy enjoying it and were already talking about going back to try a different room theme on our drive home. Get a massage if you can, eat the champagne cake, and make sure to bring home the perfect tchotchke!

Check in - we arrived close to midnight. Front desk was fast with check in. I asked for the breakfast vouchers since we reserved a rate that included breakfast. I received 2 and when they saw that we had 4 people on my reservation I was asked if I needed 2 more? Um yes breakfast is for everyone on the reservation. Then I was told to make sure my kids were quiet as it was late and “people might complain”. Keep in mind my kids were still in the car outside. Room - clean and good location Breakfast -No words really. If you are a Seinfeld fan, picture the soup guy. If you asked for anything you were reprimanded. They were out of all basic things (coffee, half/half, etc). Whenever anyone asked for milk they were told they could only have milk with cereal only - no exceptions. Went to get coffee and the container was out. Mentioned it to staff and he was shocked the coffee was out stating it had been refilled already. Eggs were mediocre. Burrito was dry. The 2 girls working that day were extremely nice and trying their best to be helpful. I understand there are supply issues but this was bizarre.

Every Thursday, there is FAMER MARKET, but unfortunately we bought and bought and did not catch up. Seeing the mess on the road, it must be very lively, so sorry. The location is very good, you can go to FM. But what do you say about the facilities of this hotel, in fact, it is to open a room for young Californian workers, haha! The standard room is our five-foot bed. The family is a little small and the photos look slightly larger. Family trips, recommended twin beds, don't blindly believe in the old KING SIZE, not all hotels.

First, I want to say Thumb Up to the manager that actually read this column and corrected the breakfast complaint by getting the HI famous Cinnamon Rolls back to the breakfast menu. Our family of 4 stayed 1 night after visiting Santa Barbara and Solvang. Check in is speedy because we did the online check in. We are assigned to the Chablis building on second floor Room 200 and I actually paid extra to have balcony as this is our first time staying in hotel after the pandemic. For 2 years, we haven’t the confidence to travel and stay in hotel till recently all members in the family are fully vaccinated with my husband and I have our booster shot and the 2 teenagers have at least 2 shots as well as the pandemic seem not to morph into common flu. Spacious room and love that a built in area that one can open the luggage easily and there are built in hanger/hook that we can hang hat, jacket and handbag! I found this feature also in the HI Fisherman Wharf. Front desk person is responsive to needs after entered into room, we needed extra towels and a razor though we didn’t received in the room because delivered to the wrong room and we had to walk back to lobby to get them. I am glad that the front desk communicated to us why the items not delivered. We understand the mistake but we appreciate the communication so we know that the items are delivered except to the wrong room. Might want to send someone to fix the handle of the drawers on the bottom, loose and crooked to the side of pulled. Also, the bath tub handle, the water came out from top and bottom this the water pressure very low coming out from the shower head, this needs fixing. Sorry, we should have told the front desk when we checked out. Love the newly added cinnamon rolls and they have the auto made pancake! Hooray, you bring back one of the most significant features of HI complimentary breakfast! I am not sure I am being greedy to ask for waffles in the future? No need self made, just pre-made a small batch, don’t use the bought from store pre-made as we can taste frozen and fresh from waffle iron. That is if can accommodate as I am waffle rather than pancake eater. Overall, LOVE this property and highly recommend if you are visiting Solvang, Santa Barbara or SLO, stop at this property as the management does seem to care about the comfort of the guests and actually reading this column to see can improve. For this, please support this property if you are around the area visiting and need a place to rest. It is a very nice hotel!

It is a BEAUTIFUL location and the staff is super friendly. They serve a hot breakfast every morning that rivals going out to a restaurant. The pool and hot tub are nice and clean! The rooms themselves are roomy, clean & equipped with all of the latest technology. I loved my stay here and I cannot wait to come back. Each room also had a patio which my pets loved. They’re super pet-friendly and that’s hard to come by. We love The Agrarian!
