Fit for Donald Trump

Check in sucked. Claimed they did not have my reservations even after I showed them the printed out confirmation. Since they have no inside check in, done through a window, I had to wait outside in drizzling rain for the slowest check in imaginable. Slow-Slow-Slow!!! I put my luggage on a desk in the room. Desk fell apart, because it was never properly secured. Brought the front desk clerk back to my room to show him. We had to jerry rig a fix. He did not pass on the information to the next clerk. So I had to take that clerk back to room and show him. I will say the clerks were pleasant enough, but seemed young and inexperienced. Also forget the wifi. Worked on my phone, but to slow to stream anything on iPad.

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.
