• Alisha (8/5): -
• Stacy (8/5): Very comfortable, lovely location, friendly staff. Would have been nice to have our own kettle in the room to save goin - No kettle in the room, for a cup of tea
• Janet (10/5): -
• Dos (10/5): -
• Charles (6/5): Enjoyed staff and process - Convenient Location
• Shaun (8/5): For a short stay it was fine - Easy location to get to Bed was a bit stiff and dated
• erin (9/5): -
• Ann (9/5): Beautiful lake views, excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff. - The two bedroom apartment was very spacious with 2 bathrooms. The kitchen was a full size kitchen. The kitchen supplies could use a boost.
• Tasha (10/5): - Very clean and spacious. Close to the water with nice views of the city lights at night.
• Angel-wendy (8/5): - The safe feeling, comfort, clean, and the patio view. No bathtub.
• Kimberly (10/5): -
• Pastor (10/5): Very comfortable - Very clean and comfortable Nothing
• Nicholas (7/5): - Reasonable value for money. My only real complaint is tied to the downside to stays in pet-friendly rooms. I'm quite allergic to cats and woke up with scratchy, sandpapery eyes. I can't say if it's feasible to fully clean up traces of dander, but would have preferred not to experience allergies resulting from a previous guest's pet.
• William (8/5): It was great! - Late night check in instructions were superb. I enjoyed my stay and my kids loved it. There were no wardrobes in the room. But it wasn't a need, we still had a great time even without a wardrobe.
• Mark (7/5): -
• Slizak (7/5): it was perfect for what we were looking for and needing - location was good and the price. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. shower and toilet area were small. front desk clerk was friendly and prompt. The sleeping area was roomy and it was nice and quiet there. i didn't like the small bathroom the fact that was no freezer in the fridge.
• Thibault (10/5): - Location was beautiful. Staff was friendly, room was well laid out with tons of space. Lots amenities close by. Motel was fine. Just wasn't a fan of mountain driving.

• Isabelle (9/5): Great value with friendly staff, comfy renovated rooms, and easy access to both your car and the city’s amenities and tr - The staff were wonderful—friendly and very accommodating. Although it’s an older motel, the rooms have been nicely renovated, are very clean, and well located. It was perfect for us as a couple traveling with picnic gear and larger luggage. The motel works well whether you’re staying short-term in an economy room or longer in a queen or king. Highly recommend if you value easy access to your car and a relaxed, practical stay, and aren’t too concerned about stylish décor. The beds are comfortable, though the pillows weren’t to our taste (we brought our own).
• Lori (8/5): -
• Yasuhiro (8/5): -
• Lena (10/5): Very comfortable - It was very clean, comfortable and easy check in! It is only 5 mins with the car to downtown, over the bridge. Grocery store is also very close. In general we felt very comfortable! :)) /
• Ricciuti (3/5): Disappointing! - Wasn't told there was a breakfast. No microwave in room / no supper Heater/air cond. was noisy as a truck. Hard to sleep! Tap in bathroom mounted so far back you could barely wash your hands.
• Rich (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly helpful staff, super clean room, pleasant mini-split heat/ac unit Nothing
• Jaime-lynn (10/5): Would definitely stay again. Great value for cost - The bed was good, room was spacious and clean. The location was great, easy access and nice and quiet. The staff was very kind and friendly. Super helpful and informative.
• Ian (9/5): Good value. Great staff. - The staff were incredibly helpful. The room was clean and spacious. Nothing really. Location is a long walk to town but it’s right on the river with a nice view of town.

• George (10/5): - Accommodation had everything we wanted
• Jeff (8/5): - 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!
• Sue (10/5): - 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!
• Matt (10/5): - Great spot, not far from downtown, just a short drive across the bridge. Rooms were quite big and bed was comfy 👍
• Sharleen (10/5): - Clean room, spacious, friendly staff. Convenient just across the Nelson bridge, slightly out of town. Best prices in the area.
• Blaine (6/5): -
• Tracy (10/5): - Clean, comfortable with excelent staff. Would absolutely stay again.
• Rhondel (10/5): - Great place
• Bahereh (8/5): - 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.
• Verfel (8/5): - Near in town accessible
• Lynn (10/5): - Would stay again.
• Gary (8/5): Enjoyed our stay. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good location and an easy drive to downtown. Would stay there again. - Great location about 5 mins from downtown. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were updated and clean. Quiet location. You have to step up to get into the room which was a bit unusual. Not a deal breaker but odd the way the motel was built. Bed was a bit uncomfortable.
