We stayed at the multi-bed cottage with a full kitchen for 2 nights, one night being Thanksgiving night. We packed dinner thinking restaurants might be closed and meant to take advantage of the kitchen. Upon arrival, the floor looked like it was not swept so we were already having low expectations for the rest of the room. It was clean for the most part but the toilet seat needed to be replaced (stains and loose bolt) and one of the couches smelled like a wet towel if you sat in it. In their defense, this was a pet friendly hotel so we didn’t expect it to be luxurious. One other complaint was the lack of things in the kitchen. There were no cups, just 2 mugs that were different. I think 1 small pot and a bunch of lids to missing pots/pans. The couple dish-ware they provided did not match, and the dish drying rack was gross. Luckily we had packed some disposable plates and utensils to avoid doing dishes. The staff was very friendly though and provided everything we asked for. We were concerned about how cold the room was and they provided a portable heater for the bathroom since the heating units were on the opposite side of the room. The lobby and room for breakfast could use a deep cleaning too but the furniture/decor added to the hotel’s charm. Also note, I peaked into another window of a vacant room in the main building, and that room looked a lot nicer. Maybe just the cottages are not better kept.

The bed had hairs everywhere like it wasn’t properly washed, the bath tub was filthy.. had dried leaves and dirt inside it, there was toilet paper in the toilet like someone didn’t clean it or flush, mirror had white toothpaste specks, and the breakfast waffle machine wasn’t cleaned so black burnt pieces kept falling off onto the waffle.

They did not honor the hotels.com price and overcharged our two rooms upon checkin. We requested a refund and have not gotten any feedback. Including the two days while on property, they did not respond in kind to gain our original price in a refund.

Where to begin... First, shown to a room that wasn't ready and told we would get texted when it was. An hour and a half later, still no text and a family entering the room we'd been shown. When we returned to the front desk, found out they had taken us to the WRONG ROOM and our room was not only a completely different building, but a different property -- The Ala Mar Motel instead of the Villa Rosa Inn. Room had a large TV but no remote to operate it. Housekeeping left cleaning supplies in the room (dustpan, broom, spray bottle). The top bathroom door hinge is separating from the frame so you have to LIFT the door to shut it. And bathroom fixture only had a single bulb (of three) working. Exposed wiring in the ceiling from, presumably, an old light fixture that had been removed. Front desk accommodated a noon checkout (instead of 11), but housekeeping knocked at 10:30am and asked "Are you leaving?"

I had a villa downstairs from my sister and noticed that mine was missing wine glasses and a few other minor differences. We were never told where breakfast would be served and the times.

Easy check in, wonderful staff and really enjoyed the feel of the hotel. I might suggest clearing some of the furniture out of the hall way to the rooms. 1. it’s narrow 2. Evacuation obstruction. Will definitely be back!
