I was shocked as to how nice our room was. Nothing fancy but quality beds and other furnishings. They have an outside ice machine that was so helpful for getting ice in our coolers. The showers are great, perfect temperature, perfect spread. Villa Vista is our new over night stay when we are up salmon fishing.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Ants in the tiny bathroom, spiders in the room. The bed mattress was very old ,no support at all. I stayed at this motel in the past it was always very clean and maintained. The new people are nice but do NOT KNOW HOW TO RUN OR MAINTAIN THE PLACE. Could not get a receipt with the total amount on it that i had to pay? Its hard to see what was a very nice motel turned into one of the very worst. I will never stay at Vista Villa again. OVERPRICED AND DIRTY, STAINS IN THE CARPET. They did not even vacuum the carpet
