Watch out if you book via Expedia as the Villa Rosa hotel charges hidden "Resort fees".
Unfortunately, they failed to mention breakfast and happy hour. We were across the street from the hotel in the "Tide Pool" rooms so we didn't know about happy hour, breakfast, nor the pool.
Area was great. Room was good too, but TV didn't work.

It was beautiful. Would have been better, especially due to the expense, if it had had 2 nightstands instead of only one.

Usual property, with many artifacts and artistic touches. It’s a perfect spot for ocean breezes and a few spectacular ocean views. The staff is amazingly helpful, thoughtful and fun. Rooms are all very unique and intentionally dated. Breakfast and happy hour treats available at no cost. This hotel is one of a kind.

We had a great time. It was a last minute booking and ended up at this great spot. Fun little place right off state and the beach. Fun little pool. Close to anything you need and helpful staff. Rooms were very spacious.

Great location
Location was great but checkin and parking were not as great as hoped. One poor lady seemed to run the whole place and room was not quite ready by check in time. Parking is extremely limited and street parking is allowed for only 90 minutes between 9am and 6pm. Room with balcony was nice though and met our needs.
