Some rooms are well.taken care of, but most of the rooms are in terrible conditions, if you are lucky and give a good impression, you might get one of the better rooms.
The guys at front desk are polite.

We loved our week stay at Vista Inn, clean rooms & comfortable bed, clean bathroom. Refrigerator, microwave & a couch. Location was great. Good night manager, very accommodating and friendly. I would suggest a change of towels every other day if not done daily..parking was great.
Would definitely return for the holidays.

The staff was very kind and understanding but this is not a safe place to stay. I work with the underhoused population and understand that everyone deserves a place to sleep, but this is facility is not safe for families.
