Overnight trip

Stay was excellent, the beds were a little hard but overall rooms were comfortable. Breakfast was good as well.

Sad by the sea

Wonderful location but not professionally run. The property is falling apart in so many ways.

My stay was wonderful. Only wish i had more than one night to enjoy the beach walks.
Joe, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Worth a try. Good location and price.

We have the two story unit with the king downstairs and queen downstairs. There was no AC so I guess you're suppose to open the window however there were holes in the screen and we didn't feel 100% safe leaving the window open since it open to the public sidewalk. We tried to use the jacuzzi but it was very crowded and there was no room for us. Everything else was great.

A truly charming beach side hotel

My room had a stunning for poster bed and matching antique furniture. The location is less than a block away from the beach, so I had some wonderful walks. There is also a great breakfast restaurant just two blocks away. All in I had a wonderful stay!

I liked how nice and attentive the woman at the front desk was.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Booked an “upgraded” room but was given the regular room. Requested the difference since they overbooked. Was told to talk to hotels.com about it. Also the room was full of fleas as my child was left with many bites. Would not book through hotels.com or Villa Rosa ever again.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is excellent.

Disappointed stay

This is a great boutique hotel styled like a Spanish villa. That part is great (similar to such places in Sevilla, for example). However, the staff wasn't very welcoming at checkin or checkout. There was a surprise fee at checkin apparently that Hotels.com is not aware of (and they blamed the 3rd party for it). We were asked to fill up a registration form before arrival with tons of information and yet the front desk staff wasn't aware we'd already taken care of it. The bathtub was dirty, commode rickety, window cracked and patio dusty. There was no coffee or water in the room, with just a few old utensils in the "kitchen", which we didn't use. The redeeming features of the room was the ample space, comfortable beds and villa-like spanish vibes. Location is great, the concept is great, but for the price/value equation it does not make the cut against similar boutique hotels in Southern California beach towns. If only they put in a little effort at maintenance and train their staff to be more cordial, they would have a winning formula!

Nice place with courteous staff. Close to restaurants and beach.

Parking is available in 3 additional hotels and on the street. I was upgraded due to room issues but i have no complaints. Staff are very busy but will tend to your needs.

10/10 Exceptional

Lynnea front desk took such good care of daughter Riley and I. Due to minor accident she got us in early and a warm hug was so welcoming right from the start. Other staff valet Nate and Jonathon so professional and knowledgeable about thearea. We shared MANY laughs in our 3 day stay. The details and decor the atmosphere of the entire hotel and surrounding areas was more than we could ever ask for. We are returning for sure
Kelly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is in a great location! It is good value. I would not consider what they offered to be a continental breakfast. I would have rates it a four had it not been for losing electricity on at 8:00am on the last day of my stay

Mid stay

Quick check in and check out. But the room smelled weird, the water never got hot in the shower, and the breakfast was beyond horrible.
