The staff were absolutely amazing. Welcoming, kind, interested in our travel. The rooms were clean, quiet, and roomy. The only thing missing, is kitchen accessory. Would have been nice to have a kettle and microwave. The fridges are large. Breakfast options were limited selection but available

Updated motel

Friendly staff and a clean room in an updated motel. Not much to see out the window - grassy hill, but it was fine for a one night stay. The bed was ok, but seemed to have a plastic mattress cover which gave it a bit of a stiff feeling.The breakfast to go was convenient.

Our stay at the Vista Inn was adequate. Bathroom needed a deep clean, but was what I would describe as "surface" clean. Beds were comfortable and clean. Would be nice if the rooms had sheer curtains as well as blackout curtains. Natural light is my preference, but its awkward leaving the curtains open in the day when anyone who walks by your room can see directly in.
