This property needs quite a bit of Spray up, and definitely the walls need to be painted in each room. Decoration is one of their downfalls. The rooms were extremely cold with no pictures on the walls no color..

For the price you pay it is what you get. Yes, its an older motel but the location was worth it. Especially since it is part of the hop on hop of trolley route so you can just park and use that for your stay. There was an attendant there 24 hours. I can see how it can get a little loud during busy season but we went when it had died down. I was amazed that the pool hours were until 9pm and when we arrived people were still in the pool at 930pm and the attendant was fine with it. Breaking turned out better than the reviews. There was the usually instant oatmeal with sides, eggs, sausages, bisuits with gravy, cereal and apples and bananas. Juice, coffee and cappuccino was also available.

Staff very pleasant

Staff were quite friendly and offered good customer service; Food taste was good; was disappointed that on the second morning meat was added to the eggs; would have been nice to have a meatless option for eggs each day; shower had extremely low water pressure; the shower curtain was too short so water spilled onto the bathroom floor if dis not turn shower head to the wall; not all towels were clean; had to kill a roach in the room as well as what looked like termites. Overall I would not reserve room at this hotel again.

I arrived at this hotel a bit prejudiced because of some negative reviews, likely written by people who either didn’t want to pay for what they were getting or simply couldn’t appreciate the place. I have to admit I was wrong — and I apologize for my initial impression. The staff was absolutely wonderful: kind, helpful, and genuinely courteous. The rooms may be a little dated, but they were spotless. I was even given extra towels without having to ask twice. As for the breakfast, anyone claiming it wasn’t good must have had other issues, because it was excellent — fresh and well-organized, with eggs, sausages, yogurt, fresh bread, and more. The location is also perfect: the old town is only about a 15-minute walk away, and the pool was clean and well-maintained. This isn’t a 5-star luxury hotel, but I would happily return for the kindness of the staff, the welcoming atmosphere, and the overall value. Thank you!

The Villa 1565 isnt bad but it does not look like what is advertised. The bed was very comfortable and the shower is nice. The livingroom furniture in the king suite was not comfortable at all. The first night we had a swarm of what looked like flying ants swarming ohr door. When we opened the door they flew in. So we basically spent the first night killing bugs. The room also smelt very bad like old musky/mold smell. We had to light a candle anytime we were in the room. The lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful.
