The employees were very kind and friendly. When we arrived late at night, she realized that we had made a reservation for the next day and helped us to correct this. The lady on duty was very helpful. Thank you once again.

Offering rooms with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and free WiFi access, the Inn at the Cove features an on-site heated pool and hot tub. Pismo Beach Pier and city centre are 3.2 km away. A complimentary continental breakfast is served every day.

What an amazing gem! The rooms were beautiful and a great size! Very comfortable, and felt very luxe with the plantation shutters. The view of the ocean from the room and listening to the birds was just bliss. The heated pool and hot tub was very nice, enjoyed that it was outside so you could hear the ocean and see the stars. We enjoyed the later check-out time. There were cute swing chairs and firepit's and beach access too. It was incredible value for money in a superb location.

Located on an oceanfront bluff off of Pismo Beach, Tides Oceanview Inn and Cottages offers an ideal location for guests. Free WiFi and free parking are also provided for guests’ convenience.

A flat-screen cable TV is included in each room. Free toiletries and a hairdryer are also available. White plush linens cover beds that sit adjacent to a work desk. Guests can enjoy their own private entrance.

The first 3 weeks were perfect , the hotel staff amazing. But somehow I misunderstood the checkout date and was late by an hour and a half checking out and things got ugly fast . I felt terrible as they had guests coming in as well. Someone on the staff team said some mean things and my checkout price was higher than I was quoted or had paid all the prior days … Much higher. I was to receive a 20% off for my stays as I am local and in between houses. They didn’t apply that to my Che out fees at all . I guess because I was late checking out .

Featuring a spa bath, free Wi-Fi and a fireplace in all rooms, this Avila Beach, California hotel is just 5 minutes’ walk away from Avila State Beach. A welcome basket is offered in each guestroom.

Select suites feature a fully equipped kitchen with granite counters and a heated towel rack at Avila La Fonda Hotel. An iPod docking station and a flat screen satellite TV are also offered in all rooms. Each en suite bathroom features fresh bathrobes.

Avila La Fonda is a true gem on the West Coast. From the moment we arrived to the moment we reluctantly checked out, we were enveloped in a haven of comfort and warm hospitality. The accommodations at Avila La Fonda were fabulous. Our suite was beautifully decorated and the complimentary wine and delicious homemade pie created an inviting and cozy atmosphere that made it difficult to leave. I wholeheartedly recommend this lovely hotel to anyone seeking a memorable and rejuvenating getaway. We only planned for one overnight stay in our 3 week road trip but in hindsight we'd plan to stay longer next time!

    Beautiful room with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was very well designed and spacious. The staff were extremely attentive and always welcoming. The meal we had in the restaurant was delicious and the views over the Pismo Beach were beautiful. Would definitely stay here again. Great location near the beach and all amenities.
