I took a 4 day getaway with my high school age daughter last week and stayed at the La Fonda hotel after looking through their reviews. First of all, Avila seems to be an undiscovered gem and we like it that way! From check-in throughout our stay the staff was pleasant and professional and the amenities were awesome. My daughter...

We really enjoyed our stay at Avila La Fonda Hotel. The location is perfect, 10 miles to the south is Pismo Beach, 10 miles to the north is San Luis Obispo. The staff was so nice. We took our two little ones with us and we all enjoyed ourselves. We fit perfectly in one of their Spa rooms, king bed... More

My husband and I spent our first wedding anniversary here back in 2010. The room was amazing. The whole hotel was just so warm and classy and inviting. I highly recommend it. We will definitely return if we're in the area again. So close to the beach.

They have great large rooms with flat screen TV's. no ocean views, but it is in a beautiful Mexican motif. You have happy hour wine and snacks, mid day beer and nachos. Pie and goodies in the night. It was pricey for the Memorial Day weekend but otherwise it's fine. If you go to any concert events great to walk... More

We have been here a half a dozen times and always have a very pleasurable experience. The staff is super friendly. The atmosphere very warm and welcoming. I love the spacious king rooms. The bed was so comfortable. We get a room facing west so we don't look out onto the parking lot! The beach is one block away. The... More

I always love staying here when I go to Avila. The staff are so friendly. The pies are amazing! We actually went and bought one to make at home after our stay. Our only complaint was that housekeeping chain smoked. This wouldnt have been a problem (more of a running joke with my husband...every single time we left the room... More

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.
