What a fun place to spend the night! Avila La Fonda provides lots of treats and amenities to make your stay delicious. Of course, I would love any place that provides yummy, complimentary sweets all day long. We stayed in the Retreat Room, which is on the second floor and has a balcony, fireplace, and jacuzzi tub. The tub is... More

The manager and staff were so amazing. The room was big and extremely clean. The layout was amazing. A huge bed, jet spa tub, fire place, double headed shower, fun events hosted by the hotel manger. The best hotel stay I've ever had in my life. I couldn't imagine a better weekend. I can't thank those guys enough.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff and amenities the hotel offered. Guests get freshly baked chocolate croissants and orange juice in the morning, and freshly baked pies are served in the common area every evening. Daily wine tastings are also available. My room was very nice and spacious, with both... More

Two years ago we stayed in Pismo Beach and was less than impressed with the crowds and the noise. Last year we found Avila and the La Fonda Hotel. What a great find it was. No crowd because we stay during the week, great food, wine, and most of all quiet. The ONLY noise we can make comment about is... More

This hotel is really wonderful. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. There were so many snacks during the wine reception they have every evening to the baked pies they serve every night. The chocolate croissants in the morning are really nice too. My girlfriend and I stayed here for two nights recently and we definitely relaxed and enjoyed all... More

We are technically 'locals', deciding to take a vacation within 20 miles of where we live, but I have to say this was well worth the splurge for our anniversary. I won't reiterate all the great things that have been said about the goodies, the staff, and the hotel itself, however one thing stands out: Eating freshly baked berry pie... More

I can' say enough wonderful things about this lovely little hotel. My husband and I booked our stay for only one night as we were traveling the coast highway from LA to SF and were short on time. I was a little hesitant as the hotel is not directly on the beach. We did choose the La Fonda due to... More

What a great find! My dad, son and I booked a "Casita Suite" to accomodate the three of us and we really enjoyed our stay there. The rooms are well appointed, with very comfortable beds and pillows. The staff members were always friendly, gracious and helpful. Had we chosen to indulge, we could have just had all our meals there,... More

My two daughters and I came for 1 night last week during Spring break and I was looking forward to it all week. And we loved the short stay and do plan to come back for longer. Everything was as expected and more: great B&B style stay with great hospitality/service, ambiance, room amenities (kitchen!, fireplace! snacks! clean!) When we arrived... More
