Rooms were clean, associates nice, breakfast acceptable. The pictures online were very outdated, no loungers by the pool, courtyard had old broken chairs and scattered around. Very dated, BUT the trolly does stop right at the hotel so that is a huge plus if you don’t want to drive!

It's a good little motel for the price. Convenient walking distance to nearby attractions and shopping. The rooms apparently have new flooring, which is in stark contrast to the very old and battered furniture. Still, the rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast is average, with several hot items and your usual continental offerings.

We loved it! The staff was friendly, the courtyards outside were really nice, the room was clean, walking distance into town, only about a half mile. Also, trollies were available to take in town. There was a restaurant/bar next to the property and other restaurants were walking distance. I will recommend Villa 1565 to everyone I know. We didn't want to leave.

“Old Senator” tree in the motel parking lot

The location was good for us. We picked it specifically because the “Old Town Trolley” tours stopped in the motel parking lot. This is the way to tour old town as parking is limited everywhere in the city. Our rooms seemed clean, though we did see one cockroach in one of the two rooms. Their complimentary breakfast was good. The area was kept clean and food items refilled as needed.
