Staff was rude and unhelpful. Speaking Spanish did not help in this regard. WiFi access was abysmal. Most towels and sheets were significantly aged and stained. The hotel is also in need of extermination given the number of roaches I saw during my visit. Overall would not stay here again.

simple but friendly
The hotel staff were very welcoming and couldn't do enough to help us. The restaurant had a small selection of evening meals, very basic but well cooked. Breakfast was very limited, this let the hotel down a little. Our room was really clean, nice fresh white towels and basic toiletries. It had air conditioning too which was very welcome due to the heat of the city.

Nice place near to downtown
My overall experience was ok. The facilites and the room were ok too. My suggestion is to train the staff to be more polite. They were rude and they don´t smile at all. A good day greeting doesn´t make you less person.

Perfect location, great for the price.
Really happy with the Hotel itself. The management could do themselves a huge favor and get some staff that have been trained in basic customer service. I woke up and went downstairs asking where I can find a cup of coffee. She said "hold on let me see if breakfast is included with your room." She pulled up my room on the computer. Then went to a file and pulled out a folder, looked at some papers. Then back to the computer, then back to the folder. About Five times. Then someone called. She answered the call and attended to them, about ten minutes. She hung up and continued ignoring me. I said "excuse me" and got her attention. She went back to the computer and folder over and over again visibly confused. Then she gave me a small red ticket said this is for breakfast. I went in the restaurant, sat down and ordered. Just as they were bringing me my plate she entered the restaurant, said she made a mistake, and that breakfast is not included. I stood up and asked the waiter how much for just the coffee. She said I can still pay for the breakfast. I said no thanks. The waiter asked her who would pay for this now? I said to her how can you re-neg after telling me it was included? She looked confused and said the hotel would pay. So unprofessional and incredible someone so clueless is working with the public.

I arrived at 1: 00 am, the door was closed. The host was sleeping I guess because I called and nobody answer and suddenly someone appears to open the hotel door. Everything was dark and quiet like a ghost town. But the room was nice and comfortable.

one night stay over
The hotel is fairly clean and quiet. The room was clean. Good bathroom and plenty of hot water. The parking underground leaves a lot to be desired. Very tight entrance and exit. The comp. breakfast just so-so.The location of the hotel is in a somewhat dangerous area. Not advisible to walk around at night.Overall...... I would give the Avila a 3.5......

Experience !
Very awesome hotel (location, comfort level and scenery) However, staff never puts wash rags in the bathroom for some reason or the next, you constantly got to be reminding them. Breakfast is not included so every morning you have to spend $5 US or more to eat something.But other than that its a cool spot to stay . Pool lovers, this Hotel does NOT have a pool so keep that in mind
