“Vista Inn offers newly painted exteriors and in-room amenities such as refrigerators and microwaves, which is appreciable; however, reports indicate issues with cleanliness and dated interiors. In my opinion, it might suit budget-conscious travelers seeking basic accommodation, but it seems wise to consider alternatives for a more assured stay.”
