Designated parking area for guests. Great room and cleanliness. Very smooth sailing after checking in. Only complaint, check-in took a little long. Staff was very friendly and kind.
I have been staying at Villa Serena for my weekend visits for three consecutive summers (I would rather stay here than at my friend's place - it's quiet!)
There was hair of men and women in the bed. I think you need to clean the air dryer filter because was not use i think thats why i did not call and change my room. The unit smells good. Ac works. Bathroom clean. If the bed was clean i would gave you 5 stars. Sorry.
Great experience for the price, excellent location for what we were there to see

Property was fine.. only thing with this motel is it was late i accidentally reserved on Expedia for the following day. At check-in, staff noticed and advised me to cancel and pay gor that night at window. Room was never canceled k was still charged after i paid cash for that night.i reached out to the hotel with no response and no parking.. I DO NOT RECOMMEND
