Avila Village Inn

Downside - just found out a couple of days ago that they no longer have an agreement with the health club/pool/fitness center. Upside - Mindy the GM is not only outstanding in customer care but even more stellar than years gone. My wife brought something to my attention in our room, hoping for Mindy (though she was busy) Jess said, “I’ll pass your message onto Mindy as soon as she becomes available”. Tempted to roll my eyes outwardly but especially inwardly, have began to dread may stay here. Lo and behold the issue was resolved within the first 30 minutes of my request! So whether Just took ownership of my issue, or she immediately spoke to Mindy upon her earliest convenience, kudos goes to menu for hiring/training such an amazing staff member and/or taking care of it herself. Looking forward to taking advantage of what this place has consistently offered over the last 15 plus years - peaceful, quiet, serenity away from the hoopla. Just minutes away from the beach and the town. Can ride bikes (still complimentary) or walk along the Bob Jones trail adjacent to the Inn. Quick drive to the Avila Valley Barn and SLO. Thanks again Mindy since from my many years of experience all over the world, the hotel manager sets the pace for either greatness or disappointment!!

We stated here on our way up to Carmel. It was a good stopping point for us. The hotel is quaint with a nice fireplace and friendly staff. Zov (sp?) was the very friendly person at the reception desk. The location is great to get to Avila Beach, and also to visit San Luis Obispo. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Beautiful location close to beach and SLO.

Too distant from conveniences.

Lovely rustic feel hotel Quiet Ample parking Safe

Couples get away Very comfortable bed in a clean, but dated room. Front desk staff not friendly. If you wanted to use gym, pool etc it cost extra even though they charge a resort fee. Pictures on web site very misleading hotel not on the beach.
