Our room wasn’t what we booked. We waited an hour to get into our room because it wasn’t ready and the floors were not cleaned and bed sheets felt like soap wasn’t riinsed out properly and heavily bleached so they irritated skin.

Great room, king suite was as described with nice balcony. Older properties, but nicely maintained. Pool and spa were great. Eveniing reception a nice touch. Breakfast had good waffles, bagels with cream cheese. The coffe was very good but had a high turn over rate (sometimes empty). We had to ask for room service. Not uncommon these days. We would definitely stay again.

Pros: beautiful colonial architecture by the beach. It’s fairly quiet and private. Cons: upon arrival they ask to pay $28.50 extra because the fine print online said that’s a “credit card processing fee”; it’s technically illegal under California law. Then they lie they are “figuring it out” with the app even though there’s nothing to figure out: they don’t ask the app to include it so it shows a lower price, then do bait and switch. Understand that it’s illegal and don’t be shy to complain to the authorities. The so-called breakfast consists of stale bread, tea-colored water, muffin crumbles, you get the idea. There’s decent cold water, but only for the guests that come early enough. The staff is obviously used to complaints and takes the attitude that “we are small people and we are not deciding anything.” Not saying to avoid it completely; if there’s no other option, that’ll still do.

They charged another $27.50 per day "property fee" on top of room rate for "amenities". Room wasn't available until 2.5 hours after check-in time. We booked this place (vs other options) due to free parking and breakfast included, but the breakfast was inedible. In fact, they ran out of food & coffee for breakfast, so we went to Starbucks instead. Service was poor, even though the ladies at the front desk tried their best to be helpful. The dryer broke down, so the hotel didn't have fresh towels. This place is run down, dirty and very poorly managed. Worn-out carpets, torn towels, no soap or shampoo in the room upon arrival. It's pretty clear that the owner is just collecting very overpriced rates, not investing in upkeep or quality, and running the place into the ground. Both the customers and staff are being held hostage. The other guests were almost uniformly unhappy and wondering "what's wrong with this place?" A total rip-off!

I got charged more than my contract with Villa Rosa Hotel because Expedia didn’t pay the hotel the full amount. Instead of the hotel asking Expedia to pay the remaining balance they made me pay the remaining balance, so I wound up paying what Expedia should have paid. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL! IT’S A SCAM!!!
