Very shady area garbage everywhere Ppl beside us had pee outside their door all down the side walk from unhoused ppl. No elevator and told us they couldn’t move us down stairs we had a baby and a ton of stuff my elderly mother and I had to carry with a baby. The pillows are very old and lumpy, our coffee cups still had coffee in them and front desk denied it. Breakfast!?? A muffin or juice. Old over ripened fruit and some oranges had cuts and were mushy.

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.
