4/10 Fair

⭐⭐½ 2.5/5 — Great location, but extremely overpriced The best thing about Villa Rosa Inn is definitely the location. It is very close to the beach and waterfront, and our room had a lot of space, which I really appreciated. However, at over $500 per night, I expected much more for the price. The inn advertises a continental breakfast, but what was provided was very limited and, in my opinion, not very good. The breakfast did not come close to matching what I would expect at that price point. The location and spacious room were positives, but overall I felt the stay was significantly overpriced for what was offered. I would consider staying here again at a much lower rate, primarily because of the excellent location, but I would not pay over $500 a night again.

The location is perfect. The staff is very helpful and friendly. However, the cleanliness of the room is terrible. The sofa is disgusting, as are the floor and the bathroom.

Great location, charming place including the "tower room" we got, friendly staff. However, the place needs to be renovated soon, the breakfast buffet was not very good and the waffle makers were a bit of a disaster, and the room was not ready until 30 mins after the official check-in despite announcing our arrival an hour early. They also habded us the room keys twice, only for us to find the riom completely messue up by the prior guests. Generally, the staff seemed a bit understaffed. Would potentially return though, if they get their house in order.

Loved this hotel, staff super friendly, they have happy hour starting at 4pm where you can sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine with cheese and crackers. They have a fish pond with beautiful coy fish which are probably the biggest coy fish I've seen in a while. We had room 6 which has a small private patio leading to the pool and main garden. The beach and pier are less than a block away. I highly recommend it.

Loved this place! Super cute and homey. Great location and morning staff was great and helpful. Night staff was a little sketchy, complained about my kids going in the pool at 830pm when it was open until 10 but then she left thru the back alley for like an hour.

Perfect location steps from beach. 3 minute walk to Amtrak station, restaurants, bars, museums, State St, shopping. Pool, spa, continental breakfast and evening wine and hors douvres, no resort feee or parking fees. So while this is an older hotel, given that we only used it for sleeping and the room was clean, we think this was great value for money compared with other hotels in the same vicinity.
