I’ve stayed here once before. The units are clean and comfortable. Renovated in the last few years and they have kept the hotel units clean and nice. The value is great and location is central. Parking is very good as well and you can get very close to your unit.

We had a very nice room with sliding glass doors looking out to a beautiful view of the valley. The only drawback to the room was that it didn’t have a microwave but we managed without it.

My stay at the Vista Inn was a pleasant one. It was a nice room and I felt safe. The staff were welcoming and friendly. My only bit of feedback would be that the mechanism that you pull up on the bath tap to direct the water out of the shower head needs to be looked at. I had to jiggle it a bit for it to work properly, and there was still a bit of water coming out the bottom tap. Also, some fixtures in the bathroom need attention like the hand towel rail which is coming loose from the wall. Overall though, I really enjoyed my stay. Thank you.
