Great Breakfast!

Had a great one night stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The best part was the breakfast. The food was great! I would stay again just for the breakfast. (Huevos rancheros, gorditas, and other great stuff)

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I have stayed at this location many times, so I was surprised at the changes for the worst. But the most frustrating thing this time, was a terrible encounter with a unprofessional, rude and unkind desk clerk, Saul I believe is his name. It seems this Hotel is changing his business mode to focus on less is more. Not even a three stars by current standards, and for just a few bucks more, you can stay in a much better location. I will not longer visiint Vista Inn.

¡Excelente hotel! Habitación amplia, colchón y almohadas fenomenales, con aislamiento acústico, regadera con tina y aseguran qu el agua de la llave es potable aunque no quise comprobarlo. La alberca aunque no es muy grande, es suficiente para descansar un rato, personal muy amable. El desayuno buffet incluido es bueno, pero podría mejorar un poco. Hay chilaquiles, huevo con jamón, además bocoles y mini tortas de la barda, platillos típicos de la zona. Cereal, jugo artificial, fruta, pan y waffles sobre pedido. En general, por su relación valor-precio, probablemente sea de los mejores hoteles de la zona.
