Beds were great!

The beds and pillows were quite comfortable. Great shower pressure and toiletries. Frustrating that only three towels were provided for four guests and due to late check-in, wasn’t able to resolve. Paper thin walls and extremely loud neighbors that came into their room late (around 2am) and proceeded to blast the tv through the night. Fridge makes loud noises all night. Not an ideal place to stay if you’re a light sleeper.

The Villa Franca Inn delivered what was expected. The room, outside area and parking were as stated in the property listing. It was clean, the bed was very comfortable, everything worked perfectly (the mini-fridge, etc.). I was traveling alone and the room I was given was very small with no view whatsoever – sort of tucked away in a corner. That was OK with me since all I really needed was a crash pad for the night, but if the room location is important to you, you should ask to see where you’ll be staying to be sure it meets your needs. The location is quite good, not far from Cannery Row and the aquarium. Otherwise, not a lot more to say – my stay there was straightforward, the value for the money was good and I'd recommend this place to others.
