Very pleased with our stay here. Rooms are immaculate, quiet and smell amazing. Breakfast is in the restaurant and has eggs, bagels, muffins, fruit and other things ready to serve plus you can order a thick waffle from the kitchen. Dining area and nightclub are very reminiscent of 1950's and Italian themed. Location isn't far from some shopping and very close to Hwy 101.

I really love this place to stay at the price point. This is a clean, well situated place in a convenient area, there’s even a restaurant. I find the staff to be very nice. It’s near our favorite beach, so we will keep returning for short trips when we can. Thank you so much for your quaint little spot that we love!

Room Clean, but room 14's door was slightly open when we got to it. To close we had to push hard. Whoever cleaned probably was not aware that it did not engage. We did not have time for breakfast, but we did have dinner the previous night, and it was delicious. The staff at check-in was engaging Our car was parked at our door, so we felt pretty comfortable about our parking We enjoyed our short stay

The room was clean, and location was easy to find off the freeway. We would definitely stay here again. The only issue was the room above us was very, very noisy late into the night.

I enjoyed my stay at Villa Inn. I honestly didn’t have stellar expectations as I was only staying for the weekend. But I was positively surprised to see how comfortable my stay was. I slept well, I felt safe, and the environment was quiet and peaceful. Definitely recommend a stay at Villa Inn. It’s cozy, quiet, and nice.
