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.

Our stay was fine. Check in was very slow. Not sure what was the delay. Customer service rep was friendly and gave good review for the restaurant on site. For us to find out it was closed on Mondays which was our over night stay. Sad really that he couldn’t share the info with us. Ice machine was not working on the second floor and needed to use one close to lobby which would have been helpful info to share. Overall stay was adequate.
