Room was unbelievable comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They have a bunch of cool perks for peole staying at the hotel. A 300 DVD collection that you can freely borrow, a pantry that they sell snack items at cost (a soda was $.35), dog friendly for those with pets, and a wine and tapas event every night at...more“Simply GREAT... as usual!” Feb 2, 2011
My wife and I love this hotel. We live only twenty miles away from Avila Beach, and when we want to change pace and environments, we choose this hotel and Avila Beach. The hotel is just perfect for the type of town that is Avila. It is not luxurious but is definitely elegant in its simplicity and rustic feel. We've... more“Best Central Coast Trip Ever” Jan 24, 2011
If you just want to get away and do nothing for a weekend, this is the place to go. My fiancee and I are from LA. We have been taking annual trips to the Central Coast of California for the last five years as an escape from the non-stop hustle and bustle of the never ending parking lot that is... more“Best ever hotel experience” Jan 13, 2011
Elegant, refined, every extra you can imagine and then some! Who else provides a bedside flashlight, just in case? I know that's trivial, but the list of major additions is just too long. There is a sense of trust, nothing is tied down as in most places. With much storage space, dishes, laundry and so forth, a stay of more... more“Beautiful, Unique, & Charming Hotel on Central California Coast” Jan 9, 2011
This is our second stay at this wonderful hotel. If you like unique interior room design, if you like a classy room with a fireplace, beautiful paintings and spanish tiles & decor, comfortable furniture, large in- room jucuzzi tub, fresh complimentary chocolate chip cookies and in-room snacks;(plus flat screen TV, DVD and Bose sound!) If you enjoy warm friendly customer... more“Outstanding experience! Went for a romantic getaway and it was wonderful” Jan 6, 2011
From the time we checked in until we checked out the staff was very pleasant and accomadating. The rooms are outstanding and the ammenities made the stay very enjoyable. more“A romantic getaway with the definition of hospitality and generosity.” Jan 4, 2011
We highly recommend this beautiful hotel. The hotel staff could not be more helpful. We loved the warmth and beauty of the decor. There is an actual jacuzzi in the hotel bedroom and a beautiful fireplace. In such a splendid location, how can one choose to get away any where else? From San Francisco to Los Angeles, this is the... more“Awesome hotel! Will definitely stay again!” Jan 3, 2011
The Avila La Fonda Hotel is a great find! The decor is beautiful and they did a fantastic job decorating for the holidays. The afternoon wine and appetizers were great and we enjoyed them on our balcony. We also really liked the complimentary snack basket. We will definitely stay here again. more“The Best Hotel on the Central Coast” Dec 30, 2010
This hotel is fantastic and is our hotel of choice for our travels to the central coast!!! The La Fonda is a great hotel and we highly recommend it! more“Awesome hotel and staff, terrific three day stay!!” December 26, 2010
The hotel has everything you would want for a beach getaway. Great restraunts and shops super close, as well as the beach and pier. It rained the entire time, but we had a great stay. We spent a lot of time indoors, and would stay there again in a heartbeat. more"Great Hotel" December 19, 2010
Nice and clean. A bit overpriced but since we were with most of our extended family, it was much cheaper. We had a total of six rooms and each one was different. One group had the room that extends out to a large patio area with two bar-b-ques. The room was nice but the smallest of all the rooms we... more“Lovely Gem off Beautiful California Coast” December 1, 2010
I stayed at Avila La Fonda upon a recommendation from a colleague. It was simply fantastic. They really know how to provide guests with the "feel good factor" where you check out knowing full well that you'll be back. From the beautifully equipped room (comfortable bed, 42" TV w/DVD player and free DVDs to borrow, hot tub in room, and... more“What a gorgeous spot!” November 30, 2010
We visited on Thanksgiving weekend and arrived to a hotel that was beautifully decorated. Upon registering, we were asked what type of pie we wanted and given a choice of pumpkin, apple or olallieberry, what a treat! The spa room was larger than expected, with a gas fireplace that heated the whole room. The owners put a great deal of... more“Warm, inviting and fantastic hospitality” November 23, 2010
Just got back from our stay at La Fonda. I have never written a review but I was so compelled because I have never been treated so good! Movies, room treats, apples, happy hour with lots of food and wine, hot cocoa and fireplace with large screen TV were all complimentary. I was traveling with my 8 yr old daughter... more“Fabulous stay at Avila La Fonda Hotel!” November 22, 2010
Such a warm & inviting atmosphere. The staff was very accomodating, allowing an early check in since the room was available. I absolutely loved the spa tub, it was such a treat to enjoy a relaxing soak in the two person tub with bubbles & a glass of wine. The bed & pillows were so cozy, I slept like a... more“Best, most intimate experience ever. FAVORITE place to stay, EVER!!” November 14, 2010
My husband and I stayed for a few days for our honeymoon, he had been before and it was my first time. I was skeptical about this hotel that he raved about since day one of dating, and was not disappointed upon arrival!! It is BEAUTIFUL. Every detail was tended to, nothing overlooked- from the fireplace, jacuzzi tub, shower, double... more“Stumbled upon a real Gem!” November 14, 2010
My husband and I planned on staying at a "branded" hotel in Paso Robles for the evening. We were in town visiting family in San Luis Obispo and there was SO much traffic going up the grade to Paso that we turned around and headed to Avila to check it out. My sister had mentioned going to Avila for dinner... moreAvila La Fonda Hotel 101 San Miguel Street Avila Beach , CA , 93424 Phone: (805) 595.1700 Fax: (805) 627.1862
