First, the good: Bed was clean and comfortable. Overall facility was clean and quiet and room was clean. Bathroom fixtures were updated. Less than good: The room would greatly benefit from a coat of paint. Not just a few marks—it’s really worn-looking.

The hotel itself is quaint, this is not your big chain hotels, so slightly outdated. Family owned. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Room had a refrig, freezer and microwave. Staff was very cordial. Restaurant food was very good. Location was perfect for me.

I enjoyed my stay at Villa Inn. I honestly didn’t have stellar expectations as I was only staying for the weekend. But I was positively surprised to see how comfortable my stay was. I slept well, I felt safe, and the environment was quiet and peaceful. Definitely recommend a stay at Villa Inn. It’s cozy, quiet, and nice.

The room was clean, and location was easy to find off the freeway. We would definitely stay here again. The only issue was the room above us was very, very noisy late into the night.
