Everything was amazing, except for ants invading the bedroom with two beds! We had no food in the room, but could not use two beds.

Good for a night
Booked one night stay on our way to family event. Motel was clean and in pretty good repair. Desk staff were courteous and helpful in guiding us to places we needed to go. We were heading to a remote area so the convenient shopping was wonderful. Was located right off of freeway so getting around was pretty easy although there was a little morning traffic congestion. Continental breakfast was very basic. Is a nice motel for the price.

This was my 4th or 5th stay at Villa Inn. Clear and comfortable--and the excellent Italian restaurant is an added boon.
