Really quaint venue, reasonably priced, friendly and helpful staff. Only opportunity for improvement is better interior window treatments to fully block out outside lighting and quieter air conditioning unit. Otherwise, definitely worth a visit.

I arrived at this hotel a bit prejudiced because of some negative reviews, likely written by people who either didn’t want to pay for what they were getting or simply couldn’t appreciate the place. I have to admit I was wrong — and I apologize for my initial impression. The staff was absolutely wonderful: kind, helpful, and genuinely courteous. The rooms may be a little dated, but they were spotless. I was even given extra towels without having to ask twice. As for the breakfast, anyone claiming it wasn’t good must have had other issues, because it was excellent — fresh and well-organized, with eggs, sausages, yogurt, fresh bread, and more. The location is also perfect: the old town is only about a 15-minute walk away, and the pool was clean and well-maintained. This isn’t a 5-star luxury hotel, but I would happily return for the kindness of the staff, the welcoming atmosphere, and the overall value. Thank you!

The staff are really nice and the place is very convenient and decent for the price only thing i didnt like was the metal bedframe when you mive around on the bed if ya know what i mean sounds like its scraping the floor and the chair was old in our room looks dirty guess cause of overtime stains but the breakfast was great had several hot foods like eggs with cheese in the middle and sausage,biscuits and gravy,cereal milk,apple juice and orange juice,yogurt,bananas etc. The pool is awesome too was quiet not crowded plus we went too the goo goo dolls concert got back to the room late around 11pm and me and my wife went swimming and the staff didnt have a problem with it or kick us out cause says only open til 9pm so was great especially enjoying the water after a hot concert so that was cool

The Villa 1565 isnt bad but it does not look like what is advertised. The bed was very comfortable and the shower is nice. The livingroom furniture in the king suite was not comfortable at all. The first night we had a swarm of what looked like flying ants swarming ohr door. When we opened the door they flew in. So we basically spent the first night killing bugs. The room also smelt very bad like old musky/mold smell. We had to light a candle anytime we were in the room. The lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful.

3 star? No way!

Motel (not hotel) was ok but fell short of expectations. Not sure how this property got rated a 3 star property. It’s a motel set up—all one floor, drive up to your door. Pictures really didn’t reperesent. Pool super small and separated from parking lot by chain link fence. Rooms ok but pretty clinical. Breakfast was mid. If it was a 1.5 star and priced as such, I’d stay again—it was fine, just didn’t meet the standard that was advertised.

I was in one of the king size bed rooms in the front of the property. I was worried I’d hear traffic from the street or the trolley that goes through the property. I didn’t hear anything! The breakfast is great, the location worked well, the interior of the room including bathroom is modern and the staff was helpful. I look forward to staying here again.

The stay was great. The only complaint I have, which is no fault of the hotel, is with the guest in the room next to us. It was a family with a small child. They continually fussed with each other rather loudly. The baby woke up around 4:30 and the adults argued with each other for at least an hour. It made it hard to go back to sleep. Other than that the stay was great!
