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.

The bathroom sink was very slow to empty, probably blocked. The Shower had very poor water pressure. The bedside table was tacky. Don’t wear white socks when walking around the room, the soles turned black indicating the floors were not washed with clean water. Overall though, a scenic area and comfy bed. Breakfast was good. We got what we paid for.

Looks Better Online Than in Person

We stayed at Villa 1565 and were pretty disappointed. The place looks like a renovated motel with the online pictures from website, but the updates don’t hide the problems. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, and while the room appeared clean at first glance, it was actually quite dirty once you looked a little closer. The pool area was run-down, with broken sun chairs that made it uninviting to use. On top of that, the trolley tour runs right through the motel’s parking lot every 30 minutes, which makes it hard to relax. The only real plus was the free breakfast, which was just average but at least convenient.

Poor care with rooms

Our stay was Ok. I went for my husband’s birthday to spend a couple of days , the room was spacious but not so well taken care of ! It didn’t look nothing like the pictures I saw when I selected the room. Lamps had mold, walls were dirty and they had rust all over the place. We were so excited about those days but our expectations went down when we saw that room. I was so sad because it was a special day for him.

Passing through guest

I was a little nervous about the hotel because the outside looked weather beaten and old. Put inside the apartment things looked nice and well kept. Service was great from checking in to having a maintenance person check our TV. We slept fine and attended a fair breakfast before getting back on the road.

Avoid if you have literally any other option

First room wouldn’t open. Second room had bad smell that definitely made me sick and my sinuses flared up. Had to go ask for toilet paper and tissues but they never even brought tissues, just had the empty topper with no tissue box. Stuck it out only for one night then left early
