Great are camp for resting before heading to Yosemite park
Pros:

Location and free easy parking

Cons:

I was here for 1 night so was not really using facilities except for ice machines which ran out on two floors. Not sure what you can do about that but I managed to get some on ground floor.

Overall the stay was great and family friendly
Pros:

The location was great for me and my family. The breakfast was very elaborate with lots of yummy breakfast options. The bed was very comfortable and my son loved being able to have his own bed in the pull out couch. Facilities were very clean and staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

I feel like there could’ve been more options to eat after 9pm looks like everything close by closes pretty early. Maybe some room service after hours? It’s kinda like a ghost town after 9 or 10 pm and had to travel about 15-20min to get food that late.

It was overall a great stay. I just honestly wished that the staff is a bit more friendly. They just look like they are
Pros:

The property is a good location to be at a bit pricey but it’s OK

Cons:

I know they are under construction, but I also feel like they should accommodate the cost as well

Avila Beach Hotel, unlocks an Amazing area of the Central Coast
Pros:

Avila Beach has been familiar to me since a teen coming to the coast from Central Valley as a youth, when I had been there before it was an oil shipping point for Kern County oil, dirty and stinky!
Today it is a bright beach enclave with everything available within walking distance from the beautiful beach side hotel.
The hotel has wonderful ocean view suites from every room, provided breakfast, though not great, but certainly sufficient.
Our room had wonderful amenities,two large screen televisions,so my spouse could sleep as I watched sports or news, due to the suites that every room has.
The beach, pier, restaurants are close and very good, and nearby places to see such as the lighthouse, Morro Bay, and great wine areas in Edna Valley.
If you are a golfer, a public course nearby calls your name!
A wonderful hotel at a location I knew as a youth but found a warm comforting beach town that everyone should embrace.
OUTSTANDING HOTEL IN AN INVITING TOWN.

Pros:

Close to event we attended, ice machine close

Cons:

View from room was blocked by a tree, one chair on patio was kinda broken. Patio outside small and no sun can get through to enjoy beach weather. Some
Gates are inaccessible so longer walk than necessary.

A wonderful place!
Pros:

I’ve enjoyed my past visits to Avila Lighthouse Suites so much that I decided I would give a two nights stay to my son for his 40th birthday. He and his wife just came back and they had a wonderful time. They plan on going back and taking their children next time.
The Lighthouse property is well-maintained with beautiful rooms that have beautiful views. The setting is very peaceful. This small town is so fun to walk around, look at the shops, get a bite to eat, and then watch a beautiful sunset. I can’t say enough good things about Avila Lighthouse Suites.
