We rented the Abella Garden Inn for the long Memorial weekend. Our suite was elegant, spacious, and immaculate. The bed was extremely comfortable and the down blanket kept us warm and sleepy all night. The bathroom was spotless and the kitchen was stocked with snacks and teas. Gina made us feel right at home the moment we arrived, made sure we got everything we needed, and then completely left us alone for the entire weekend. Needless to say, we had a very relaxing, peaceful, and intimate experience. What made our stay truly unforgettable was meeting Gina, if only briefly, and being blessed with her sparkling sense of humor, fearless energy, and loving spirit. Thank you Gina for your gift. Hope to see you again soon!

We enjoyed the area surrounding the Inn with wine tasting, beaches, and scenic drives, all nearby. The garden is lovely and the 2-story home is pleasant. Gina, the Innkeeper, is a feisty little Italian lady who makes you feel like visiting family!

My boyfriend and I stayed here in early October, 2011. We stayed in the "Apricot Blossom" room and it was nice. A spacious, clean room.
We stayed under a special offer of 2 nights, with no room cleaning, or towel service. No traditional "B&B type breakfast either, but the kitchen filled with all kinds of goodies for us to eat at OUR leisure. What a deal! Just remember to bring cash for this deal.
To be honest, the inn is next to the highway, and we thought we chose a bad place to stay as we pulled into the driveway. But when we were shown our room, a retaining wall just outside our window blocked out 90% of the traffic noise. We were really surprised at how quiet it was. For you sensitive sleepers, you might bring some earplugs. But really, noise was not an issue. (I am a flight attendant, so I think I'm a pretty good judge at noise levels in hotel rooms).
You can pay a little extra for have the in-room hot tub filled, but we did not. There is just too much to see and do around the Arroyo Grande-Pismo Beach area, to spend time in the bathtub.
The best part of our stay was meeting the remarkable innkeeper, "Gina". What a doll!
If you want to remain anonymous, then go stay at a Hilton. If you don't care to actually meet people on your journey, then don't come here. If "things" like a view, or designer shampoo are more important to you than the "experience", this place isn't for you.
But if you want to have a memorable, genuine, heart-to-heart experience, and aren't afraid to actually interact with "strangers" and become friends, then go see Gina and her guests at Abella Garden Inn. She will make you feel like part of her family.

The accommodations were outstanding, the hospitality great and Gina kept us laughing and made us feel right at home. We hope to go back many times and would like to spend some time in their beautiful garden.
