The Villa Motel on Nelson's beautiful North Shore is our destination spot when we travel to Nelson. The beds are more than comfy and the rooms comfortable and clean. Our room had been recently updated and the beautiful flatscreen TV made it perfect. Thanks to Frank & family and Melissa for making our stay so great.

The Villa Motel is run by very friendly and informative people. Their knowledge of the area was a great asset. The rooms are being updated and I spent two nights in a large king room, with a new and quite large, flat screen TV. The bed was beautiful, with a new duvet, lovely white duvet cover and sparkling white sheets!... More

Thank you for your praise and title of cleanest room in town! The cleanliness goes out to our devoted housekeeping staff. I will forward this review to them and I'm sure they will be greatly pleased. Please do drop by Nelson again and go on that grand adventure to the secret caves. Also, the room you stayed in is one... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Villa Motel in the late summer of 2012 and came across this hotel because of its fare price for what it had to offer. We arrived close to midnight and called the manager to let him know that we would be checking in 6 hours later than expected. Upon arriving to the lobby, the... More

Thank you for the review Sora85! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the waffles. I believe there was a wedding group during your stay and if the noise did disturb our guests I would have intervened. Great to know that your room was quiet regardless of the merry folks outside. Hope to see you on your next trip out to... More

The staff at Villa Motel really took care of us, and made our stay a delight. It was on the other side of the river from all the night life of Nelson, but it was also a lot quieter than some of the other places we stayed. If you are looking for a relaxing and affordable motel with exceptional service... More

Dear Jesse J, Being a little way out of the downtown core can make a big difference to the noise levels at night. Also, we are far away from the train that goes through town. I'm happy to see you have a restful sleep here. Thank you for the great praise. Would love to welcome you back on your next... More

We stayed here over the Christmas Holiday visiting our daughter. We were upgraded to an apartment to accomodate our young adult children. The rooms were a good size and clean with new bedding. They were installing new large Flat Screen TV's to many of the units during our stay. There was always someone available if we needed assistance or directions,... More

Here is a clean and car accessible place that close enough to downtown Nelson. I would maybe add a table in the rooms only for office or computer work practicality. Otherwise, nice staff, comfortable stay, agreeable tub, and good breakfast options.

Hi GuiHom! It was wonderful being able to accommodate you and your family during their unexpectedly extended trip to Nelson, BC. Although most of our rooms do have a desk area the suite you were in did not. We have plans to remodel the space to implement one in the near future. Thank you for the feedback and I hope... More
