The Villa Rosa Inn canceled my reservation because they said the price I got it at was too low (as if that were my fault) and that they were trying to update their Expedia account to increase the price for one night. Can you imagine the mess if all hotels acted this way whenever we booked a room at a good discount that the hotel itself advertised? Just insane.

The hotel was located in a great place but that’s the best part of this review. Unfortunately, when we arrived at 3pm (as directed) the hotel was under staff with only one person and a line ten groups deep. Rooms were not ready and not enough staff to service the line of guests. The reception area was cluttered with so much random stuff that there wasn’t much seating or standing area. There was an aquarium with dead fish and a lot eclectic furniture. The interior is dark and dingy with reflections of the haunted mansion. The staffing did their best to check everyone in, be we didn’t get our room till 6:30pm. The room was clean but not really comfortable. There so much that needs be updated just to bring the hotel into the 2000s. I couldn’t recommend this unless you are in a pinch. It was definitely a disappointment.
Tight hallways with too much furniture.
Weird,

I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this Inn. The rooms felt very neglected and poorly maintained, and the property overall looks old and worn. The bathroom had visible mold on the walls, which is unacceptable and concerning from a health standpoint. Noise was a constant issue. There was very loud noise coming from neighboring rooms and from above, especially whenever someone used the shower. The pipes made an extremely loud noise for the entire duration of the water running, making it difficult to rest or sleep. Front desk service was also lacking. After 6 PM, there was no staff available—only a note instructing guests to call a number. I tried calling and left messages, but no one ever answered or returned the calls. Although the Inn advertises free breakfast, the quality was very poor. The food selection was bad, and on one occasion there was so much smoke coming from the waffle station that it felt like a fire was about to start, which was alarming. I stayed for three nights, and during that time there was no room service at all. Trash was never collected, and the room was not attended to in any way. Overall, this stay did not come close to justifying the amount of money charged. The lack of maintenance, service, cleanliness, and responsiveness made this a very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this Inn based on my stay.

We weren’t able to check in until 6:30. The room wasn’t available and the poor staff was unsupported. There was only one person available to check everyone in at 3pm when we were told to come. There was a line 10 people deep. The hotel has the most eclectic and weirdest interiors. There isn’t enough parking for guests, and rental bikes as listed in on site. Have low expectations and it’s a place to lay your head, then you’re fine. The location is great but I can’t say much more.

The hotel is great unique and with an antique Spanish flair however they could probably think about better use of space because it’s too cluttered. The rooms are clean it’s just that the sheets are a bit smelly and scratchy. Parking is limited too but considering the area it is a good option.

Room was dirty. Toilet door donot have a lock. Toilet paper holder was missing. Need to carry the toilet roll in your end. Shower area is 2 ft away from the bed and is part of the room with no separate bathroom. Hotel has only about 10 parking slots for 40+ rooms. Breakfast option is very less and unhealthy. Waffle machine is so dirty that you will not feel good to make a waffle. In short, do not book & stay at this hotel

The location is great! The property is quaint and funky. I had spied it when walking around one month ago and jumped at a chance to stay a couple of nights. The downside was the loud plumbing, weak shower water pressure, and the breakfast did not have any fresh fruit or protein, just sugary items.
