Customer service was horrid. Front desk did not know protocol, could not get answers to simple questions. Room was dirty, bathroom stained, bed had stains and the fan was beyond dusty. Checking out- no one could provide a receipt and the one I got was not accurate. Talked to someone on the phone who scolded me for booking with a third party app. Terribly run business. Will never return and advise anyone against staying there. I work in hospitality and I've never paid more for putrid service.

Great location
Location was great but checkin and parking were not as great as hoped. One poor lady seemed to run the whole place and room was not quite ready by check in time. Parking is extremely limited and street parking is allowed for only 90 minutes between 9am and 6pm. Room with balcony was nice though and met our needs.

Lovely place but we were asked for additional fees over and above what I had reserved and paid in full for on Expedia. Was wiped in the end but an unpleasant situation. Expedia were also more than useless in doing anything to support having spoken to 4 agents and no kind of action or ownership taken.

The hotel does not have on site parking availability necessarily but has other lots nearby they own you can use. The hotel has poor staffing is not a 24/7 desk and cannot deal with appliances in rooms not working quickly as a result. A homeless person was sleeping in the stairway of entrance when I checked out in morning .

Usual property, with many artifacts and artistic touches. It’s a perfect spot for ocean breezes and a few spectacular ocean views. The staff is amazingly helpful, thoughtful and fun. Rooms are all very unique and intentionally dated. Breakfast and happy hour treats available at no cost. This hotel is one of a kind.

This is a fantastic location and is beautiful on the outside. The check in process was easy and the staff was kind. I stayed in room #5. While the dressers and other things are fine as they are old -- the chairs, loveseat, bed and pillows are so old that they smell moldy. These need to be replaced. Additionally, the windows are crank to be opened and miss the handle to open the windows. I understand some of the older things that add charm, but the furniture is not clean. This place needs/deserves a refresh.

Bait and Switch at Villa Rosa Inn
I reserved 1 King Bed room, Villa Rosa Inn, nice pictures shown online, shown non-refundable but I received confirmation it was reserved. When in line at reception the guest ahead of me asked to change his double queen room to a King.I was concerned my reserved room was being given away, but was assured it was still available. When alone with reception I was then told there were no more rooms available, a call was made, and he found a couple, both horrible choices, and not at the Villa Rosa Inn,but I was tired after hours of driving searching for vacancies, it was a decision of sleeping in my car versus taking the inferior room that I overpaid for, it was a bait and switch. I didn't think of calling hotels.com as I couldn't at the time find a contact phone number and it showed non-refundable.There are pictures of this room uploaded,it was not at Villa Rosa but a neighboring moteI.Iwas concerned seeing hairs on the sheets when I opened the bedding, sheets covering a dirty mattress cover, an insect on the wall, dirty floors, although I did see the maid mopping, inside of a closet had the back side of fish tank and fish food, that ran all night. A maid opened the door in the morning without knocking accompanied by a man and returned knocking stating I needed to leave as they don't show the room as booked.I learned at check out that I reserved room 15 at the Villa Rosa Inn and they don't know why their night reception didn’t give me the room I reserved.
sheets had hairs in them when I opened them, assumed was from the laundry as sheets smelled laundered but felt itchy, looked under the sheet cover to see if mattress ok and cover was dirty
insect on the wall, not likely a bedbug as on the wall? still felt extremely uncomfortable about being attacked by and/or picking up bedbugs
dirty walls in bathroom
Dirty floors, or stained?, as I did see them being mopped, in bathroom

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.
