This review is somewhat bias, but honest. My wife and I have been staying here on our anniversaries for the last, at least, seven years. It is a safe, quiet, charming and well kept hotel, with a wonderful staff, a health spa has been added, as well as a restaurant. It is a bit out of the way, which is what attracted us in the first place and it’s adults only. It is not on the beach, but a short walk will get you to Avila beach its location, it , as the hotel is, a bit out of the way. Close enough to SLO, or Pismo, a short drive away. If you are young at heart, and enjoy a peaceful retreat ,with walks or bike rides with a caring friendly staff then this is for you and your anniversaries. I do recommend this hotel, and yes I am a bit bias, but just a bit.
