Rude. Charged $100 to cc and did not credit account for a week. They hold deposits for a week in interest bearing accounts while they keep your money from you for their benefit.. This is what cheap motels do. This place has paper thin walls. Had to call the cops due to fighting in next room at 4am. The breakfast is a joke! Turkey sausage and powdered eggs..Just go somewhere decent and be happy. Get tired of paying market rate for rude checkin. Also refused to allow an early checkin at 2pm when it was obvious half the rooms had been cleaned. I was as told to sit and await with my elderly mother when the clerk could have easily checked me in. Yes, I did check directly with housekeeping. She was extremely rude and lazy. Seemed to enjoy the power of inconvenience over my elderly mom. How awful when a business could easily extend this courtesy to a guest but refuses to do it…lazy! I live In this town but will never recommend this place. I could feel the coil in the bed. The building itself needs power washing. Just cheap people running a cheap motel. I did not get what I paid for. Sad it’s here making our city look cheap too!

I actually changed my reservation to this week and due to family emergency, i had to fly to Pennsylvania, i cancelled the reservation on the site of the Villa 1565, deduction was taken out for room charge, I called the villa 1565, they told me nothing they could do to help. call Expedia, i tried to find the cancellation area-unable so i guess i lost my money, i don't believe i will use a third party again to book anything in advance will purchase at time of stay

Filthy

This motel was a dump. It was filthy and felt unsafe. The room we stayed in was pretty gross. The pictures on their website are not realistic to what the property actually looks like. I've attached some photos from the bathroom; the room and bathroom seemed to have not been cleaned in a while. We decided to try a new place, but will not be staying here again.

The stay at Villa 1565 was fine and affordable. However, the room smelled like a pool and could use some upgrade. The room was clean, but it could have been cleaner. The bathroom was probably my least favorite part of the experience because the shower curtain was thin and did not do a great job of staying inside the shower, which meant the floor was extremely wet after showering. And there looked to maybe be mold along the lower wall near and around the shower. Again, not a terrible experience and near a lot of restaurants.
