After a four-hour drive, I pulled into the Villa Motel in scenic Nelson, British Columbia just before 8 PM. I wasn’t sure if I was checking in to a motel or stepping into the Twilight Zone—what a fantastic surprise. The glowing red neon sign lit up the night sky like a retro beacon, and parking right at my door was an immediate win. The front desk gentleman greeted me warmly and proudly mentioned the motel’s 1950s-era roots. That explained a lot, but only added to the intrigue. Before heading inside, I explored the grounds. The lower “park” seemed equal parts playground and obstacle course: stub your toe on a rogue stair, sprint through a gauntlet of thistles, then stop just short of the highway—or don’t. For adults, the highlight is a massive pine tree viewed from what I like to call the “Bench Cone Colonoscopy Armageddon,” a dusty seating area with Cold War test-site vibes. Think of it as Nelson’s quirky answer to Disneyland—minus the safety standards and Mickey Mouse. Inside the room, I found not a dim retro den but a brightly lit, spacious setup with two queen beds, an efficient kitchenette, and a nicely updated bathroom. The rain-head shower, new tile, and plentiful towels felt downright luxurious after a long day. The laminate floors and blackout blinds brought a modern touch, while the dresser and stove whispered sweet 1980s/90s nostalgia. It was an eclectic mix, but clean, comfortable, and exactly the kind of charm that makes a roadside motel memorable!

Clean room, spacious, friendly staff. Convenient just across the Nelson bridge, slightly out of town. Best prices in the area.

We had an excellent stay. Our room was clean, large, modern, and very comfortable. The beds, linen, pillows allowed for a lovely sleep! The staff reached out to us a day before check-in, making us feel welcome and informed. We will definitely stay here again!

Great rate for a night of stay , 5 minutes drive to downtown, they had issues with these little bugs. Flies that hovered all over the doors of the upper units around our doors. The staff tried their best to clean them up.
