Very nice stay!

The Vista was a comfortable stay while travelling through. We were on the second floor which was problematic for my sister (senior with leg issues) but because we booked online we could not get a change. The room was very large, comfortable beds, everything you might want and very CLEAN. When we had issues with the tv the staff came right over. There is an Indian restaurant on property. I’m not sure about the breakfast as I was not told where to go.

The downside of this inn is that it doesn’t have proper space for breakfast. We just grab and go for breakfast. However, having kids during stay is not really convenient and there should be a space for breakfast.
