The motel is conveniently located along the main road so it was perfect for our one night stay as we travelled through Nelson. We were travelling with our two large dogs so we appreciated that we were upgraded for free as the room type I booked was apparently quite small. The room was quite basic but had most everything that we needed for a one night stay and we all appreciated the air conditioning as it was about 35C that day!

Personally I found the bed a bit too firm and uncomfortable, and there was no hair dryer (not the end of the world but I do prefer to dry my hair and hadn’t packed one because we were camping for a few days before and didn’t have the space). The room was a little worse for wear (but not unclean) perhaps because it’s a pet friendly room but the bathroom door was all scratched up at the bottom, not much of the room had been updated, things like that, so it felt like we paid way more than it was worth especially with the extra $40 charge for our two dogs, it was about $196 for one night, I feel like it should have been more in the $90-100 range before pet fees. I also found a huge spider in the bathroom so that was gross.

The motel is close to city centre. It was a clean facility with comfortable beds and a full bathroom with a tub which my wife really appreciated. ALSO, I had forgotten my cell phone in the room and they held it until my son who was in that region could pick it up for me a few days later. They also made certain that it was indeed my son who was retrieving the phone and not someone unauthorized to take it.

The motel was adjacent to narrow road with no safe walkway or walking path for exercise or exploration of the area.There are homes behind the motel but have been built on a comparitively steep hill suitable for walking for younger, fit people but would be more challenging for older seniors ( my wife is 79 and I am 81 years ). This is not a significant issue for us, however, as we would be happy to book a room there again if we return to Nelson B.C.

Room was clean and ready when we arrived. Staff were helpful when needed (Thanks for the Umbrella, was raining and they provided me with one). I have stayed here before a bit older but great for a comfortable sleep.

Basic place to stay, so no frills or anything just a place to get a nights rest. Place is older but clean. Location is a bit off from downtown but only a few minutes drive.

For an older hotel it was wonderful. It was clean and the staff was kind, helpful and accommodating.

We couldn’t figure out how to get the bathroom light to come on but we didn’t ask for help. We also didn’t care for people smoking outside but do understand that to be a challenge. The furniture was a bit worn but it was clean and that didn’t affect our comfort.

The location was fairly good, very close to downtown, and the lake, rooms were clean, fairly recently updated, and the rates were reasonable.

Double beds- Queens would be ideal for families, especially our preteen and teen sharing a bed presented some comfort complaints. My wife and I are bigger folks and we both felt we’d have better sleeping experiences with a bigger bed. Otherwise I would recommend this particular room for couples without kids.

These are very clean , well laid out Rooms !The Beds are just the right firmness , a rare thing these Days ! I loved the Bathroom ! It would be something I would like in my own Home . Everything looked new in the Room , the nice Lady at the front Desk even got some Tylenol for me! . This is my go-to place in Nelson from now on . It is a very good value for the Money , and the people are nice(that matters!).

I had to leave and go Home .

dog friendly, quiet location across from town. able to park in front of room, outdoor seating. laundry and microwave available; frig and coffeemaker in room. suitable for our needs. staff really helpful!

loud fan connected to bathroom area light; not on a separate switch from shower/toilet area and sink/frig area so not treat for nighttime

Villa Motel was a perfect experience. We have stayed in Nelson many times, but not here. It will be our go to next time. Bed was SO comfortable, and having a pet with us was not an inconvenience. Staff were friendly, and let us check in early as it was pouring rain! Not fun walking around Nelson in the pouring rain! They were very accommodating. Room was very clean. Will stay again, and highly recommend it.

The weather could have been better, so we could have walked our dog down to the lake and enjoyed it. However, we needed the rain so can't complain!

The gentleman at the front desk was extremely nice and so very accommodating. The room was extremely clean and the motel was close to downtown. It was very affordable and exceeded our expectations. We would stay again!

The pillows weren’t the most comfortable but we can bring our own next time

We’ve stayed here both times we’ve visited Nelson because the rooms are a great size, they’re comfortable, pet friendly and the staff are great. It’s affordable and easy to get into during the shoulder season, we love this little motel stop during our road trip. It’s also across the bridge from the beautiful park where you can walk your pup.

The only thing is the location if you want food or shopping, you’ll likely have to drive to get something. Not a big issue for us.
