Beds were great!
The beds and pillows were quite comfortable. Great shower pressure and toiletries. Frustrating that only three towels were provided for four guests and due to late check-in, wasn’t able to resolve. Paper thin walls and extremely loud neighbors that came into their room late (around 2am) and proceeded to blast the tv through the night. Fridge makes loud noises all night. Not an ideal place to stay if you’re a light sleeper.

The Villa Franca Inn delivered what was expected. The room, outside area and parking were as stated in the property listing. It was clean, the bed was very comfortable, everything worked perfectly (the mini-fridge, etc.). I was traveling alone and the room I was given was very small with no view whatsoever – sort of tucked away in a corner. That was OK with me since all I really needed was a crash pad for the night, but if the room location is important to you, you should ask to see where you’ll be staying to be sure it meets your needs. The location is quite good, not far from Cannery Row and the aquarium. Otherwise, not a lot more to say – my stay there was straightforward, the value for the money was good and I'd recommend this place to others.

The Inn was nice. The staff provided kind hospitality, accommodated a very late check in and housekeeping worked with our schedules. The area is in walking distance of eateries and small shops.

It was one of the cheapest options & although the location was excellent, the pics looked A LOT better than reality. The room was clean, but old & the walls were paper thin. If you don’t want to spend an arm & a leg for a room & don’t plan to spend much time in it, then the hotel was acceptable.

Stayed here on a whim on a road trip. The Inn is by a busy street but you don't hear it when in the room. Room was a nice size but a bit more dated appliances. The concierge was there sometimes but not others, we had to wait to check in as we were ringing the bell and calling the number on file. They came around 10-15 mins later, which was okay! I assumed its run by a smaller family and not corporation so it ended up being ok :) It was close to Monterey Bay, all the tourist spots and the mall so overall great location!
