Checked in , tv and cable didn’t work and I had to plug everything in. Shower did not have any handle and was completely unable to work. smoke detector, door peephole, any and every device for safety features or etc were covered in tape and toilet tissue roll covers and no one bothered to uncover them when cleaning if even cleaned. Large fresh stain on top blanket and top sheet right under it which wasn’t changed yuck. Huge gap in door letting in draft from cold night time air. And no one at front desk to help by the time I was able to go address concerns so had to just deal with it. Mind you I have a 1 year old…. Completely unacceptable

The room had no trash can. The faucet in the tub broke off the wall and I could not use the shower or tub. The motel attendant told me my credit card had already been charged and he could not credit me or compensate for the poor room conditions. I would not ever stay at Vista Inn

Save yourself the time effort and money. What a truly disgusting hovel this place is. We booked two rooms and after an entire day of travel we arrived at 10pm to check in. 1st room stank of cigarettes so she got moved, her next room had not 1 but 2 broken tvs, dirty bedding, NO shower curtain or towels and to top it off NO light bulb in the bathroom. 2nd room was flooded by a broken fridge, had no microwave, no pole in the closet to hang things on, no lightbulbs in the lamps. Pubic hair all in the very dirty unchanged sheets and 2 towels. We had housekeeping come and change the bedding and give us a new fridge and more towels. The place was filthy, falling apart and quite frankly the health inspector needs to condemn the dump.
