The motel is your standard style but has nice grassy area at the front. Rooms were clean and look like they have been recently updated. I was impressed that no small soaps and shampoos are used instead large bottles attached to wall and shower which is environmentally friendly. The beds and pillows were comfortable and room was clean! The breakfast was a very basic continental style in the lobby of hotel that you would take to your room. Unfortunately when I went to make tea there was no hot water and no one at the desk to ask for some. We stayed only one night and location and motel fit our needs.

Good overnight stay, not expensive. Bed was great and our dog was happy too. Excellent Indian food restaurant on the property. The smoke from the nearby Clinton fires was unfortunate, but couldn’t be helped. We didn’t get much “vista” from the Vista Inn this time! We’d stay there again.

Property is a bit worn, but clean and appropriately maintained. There was evidence of recent renovations which was appreciated (especially having no carpets as that can get dingy fast). Staff was friendly and continental breakfast was a good selection. The stay was comfortable, affordable, and quiet. My group was happy with our stay.

Room was clean and nicely renovated, staff friendly, air conditioning is very noisy and the breakfast is grab and go. Bottom line, I highly recommend this hotel for a couple of nights, it's a really good option.
