    Very good

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Great location. A little noisy from street but good with window closed. Nice little restaurant on property.

    This is our 4th or 5th bisit to this hotel. My sister lives nearby so we stay at the Villa Inn when we visit her. It feels like 'home' here! This place is not upgraded or fancy, but the layout in the rooms is spacious, beds are comfy, water is hot and the staff are all super friendly, helpful and darling. There is no iron or ironing board in the rooms. This is our only minor boo-hoo.

    Pleasant

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Nice light breakfast just right! The next door neighbors were very loud and woke me up at 3:30am the people were arguing and yelling. Other than that great.

    Clean, centrally located,lively/lovely lil restaurant @ bar, effficient check in, parking just a lil tight….. Nothing significant stands out. 8/10:)

    The door to the room barely closed. It appeared as though it’s been kicked in before. The front desk guy disappeared & would answer the phone when I was calling to change the room. We slept with a chair propped under the handle.

    We were provided room 17 which did not have any bed lamps or clock plugged in as there were no plugs on the wall. Did not appear to be ready to be occupied and needs some work. We’ve stayed several times at Villa Inn and this was a very bad experience. We will obviously not want to stay in this room again and don’t recommend it to others.

    It was a good value for the price. Close to the location I needed to be. I would stay there again. Room was very clean.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It's an older motel/Inn. It has a charm!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was nice to have a shower cap, which most places don't provide. The bed linens were clean and fresh. Part of the room was nicely remodeled with marble; the microwave and refrigerator were useful and worked well; the shower seemed new and had a good stream of water; the curtains were in good shape and worked well; the staff brought us fresh towels without being asked, and the shampoo they provided was very nice; the front desk personnel were helpful & responsive; and the breakfast was good, eggs were hot, waffle (on request) was very good, restaurant was clean, and the restaurant staff were helpful and friendly. On the other hand, the bathroom doorknob was missing a screw, which made it harder to use, consequent to which the door had obviously been kicked in at one time; the bathroom door was coming apart; the rug needed cleaning; some furniture was old, faded and cheaply made; and the neighborhood seemed sketchy.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The best customer service I've had in years. It was a little old in appearance but perfect for a family.

    Clean good vibe
