I wish I could’ve actually stayed here longer. You’re usually always kind of worried about the restaurant that’s attached to a hotel. This place was fantastic. Had one of the best steaks I’ve had in years they’re their continental breakfast was awesome. They even offered waffles made fresh for you. I would definitely stay here again

Villa Inn is a budget motel and served our purpose well - it was clean and quiet. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a little underwhelming compared to other hotels but it worked for the one morning we were there.
