We stayed in a room for 4–6 people and overall it was a great option for a group. The room was spacious, had a partial ocean view, a full kitchen, easy check-in, and the location was very convenient and close to everything. One downside was the hidden fees. The price shown is not the final price, and although the total was still affordable, you don’t know the final amount until after checkout when they bill you, which we didn’t love. As you can see in the pictures, this is not a 5-star hotel. The furniture and fixtures aren’t new, but they were nice enough, well organized, clean, and comfortable for a group stay. We didn’t use the other amenities or go to breakfast, but the breakfast area (like the waffle makers) looked old and didn’t seem very hygienic. The interior of the hotel feels a bit like an antique store, so keep in mind it’s not going to feel modern or spotless.

Disliked: Staff & service
The Villa Rosa Inn canceled my reservation because they said the price I got it at was too low (as if that were my fault) and that they were trying to update their Expedia account to increase the price for one night. Can you imagine the mess if all hotels acted this way whenever we booked a room at a good discount that the hotel itself advertised? Just insane.

The hotel was located in a great place but that’s the best part of this review. Unfortunately, when we arrived at 3pm (as directed) the hotel was under staff with only one person and a line ten groups deep. Rooms were not ready and not enough staff to service the line of guests. The reception area was cluttered with so much random stuff that there wasn’t much seating or standing area. There was an aquarium with dead fish and a lot eclectic furniture. The interior is dark and dingy with reflections of the haunted mansion. The staffing did their best to check everyone in, be we didn’t get our room till 6:30pm. The room was clean but not really comfortable. There so much that needs be updated just to bring the hotel into the 2000s. I couldn’t recommend this unless you are in a pinch. It was definitely a disappointment.
Tight hallways with too much furniture.
Weird,

We weren’t able to check in until 6:30. The room wasn’t available and the poor staff was unsupported. There was only one person available to check everyone in at 3pm when we were told to come. There was a line 10 people deep. The hotel has the most eclectic and weirdest interiors. There isn’t enough parking for guests, and rental bikes as listed in on site. Have low expectations and it’s a place to lay your head, then you’re fine. The location is great but I can’t say much more.

The hotel is great unique and with an antique Spanish flair however they could probably think about better use of space because it’s too cluttered. The rooms are clean it’s just that the sheets are a bit smelly and scratchy. Parking is limited too but considering the area it is a good option.
