The staff was helpful and courteous, room was clean with a fridge and nearby microwave in the laundry room next to us.The room was very small with a huge bathroom where we had to put our luggage- or no room to walk. It was the most expensive motel we booked- again no closet- just a couple of hangers on the wall. Quiet location

It's a renovated older motel, very clean, no carpets!! Which I love. Bathtub had a chip, but otherwise very nice, clean , and good setup. The beds were very comfortable and firm, which I love too. Relatively thin blanket, if I would not have brought my own blanket I might have been a bit on the cool side. Room was kept at 20 degrees Celsius, warm enough, but not too warm. The checkin was warm and friendly, and the parking lot nice and secure. It was easy to find. We arrived when it was already dark. I bet it has a nice view over the River and bridge at daylight. I am writing this review early in the morning, so still dark. I would definitely stay here again when I would look for a place in Nelson. Again I was very impressed by the cleanliness!! Would definitely recommend this motel when you want to look for a simple basic but comfortable clean place to stay .

After a four-hour drive, I pulled into the Villa Motel in scenic Nelson, British Columbia just before 8 PM. I wasn’t sure if I was checking in to a motel or stepping into the Twilight Zone—what a fantastic surprise. The glowing red neon sign lit up the night sky like a retro beacon, and parking right at my door was an immediate win. The front desk gentleman greeted me warmly and proudly mentioned the motel’s 1950s-era roots. That explained a lot, but only added to the intrigue. Before heading inside, I explored the grounds. The lower “park” seemed equal parts playground and obstacle course: stub your toe on a rogue stair, sprint through a gauntlet of thistles, then stop just short of the highway—or don’t. For adults, the highlight is a massive pine tree viewed from what I like to call the “Bench Cone Colonoscopy Armageddon,” a dusty seating area with Cold War test-site vibes. Think of it as Nelson’s quirky answer to Disneyland—minus the safety standards and Mickey Mouse. Inside the room, I found not a dim retro den but a brightly lit, spacious setup with two queen beds, an efficient kitchenette, and a nicely updated bathroom. The rain-head shower, new tile, and plentiful towels felt downright luxurious after a long day. The laminate floors and blackout blinds brought a modern touch, while the dresser and stove whispered sweet 1980s/90s nostalgia. It was an eclectic mix, but clean, comfortable, and exactly the kind of charm that makes a roadside motel memorable!

We had an excellent stay. Our room was clean, large, modern, and very comfortable. The beds, linen, pillows allowed for a lovely sleep! The staff reached out to us a day before check-in, making us feel welcome and informed. We will definitely stay here again!
