Dead bugs and cobwebs all over the room, feels and smells damp. Didn't feel safe at all as 2 young women. The one lock on the door offers zero real security. There's gaps all around the doors.

I Paid almost $400 for two nights but only stayed for one hour. I asked for a partial refund on my way out and the manager said I would have to contact Expedia (which sounded like BS since I didn't pay through Expedia). Expedia contacted them to ask for a refund and then the manager denied it.

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

The hotel is very clean. We had a single bed in the room and the room was VERY small. A small table with a microwave and single cup coffee maker left no room for a laptop. The small closet had no hangers. The small bathroom had a clean standup shower. I hung my towel over the shower curtain rod and it fell down. A quick reinstallation was required. Overall, it was comfortable for a one-night stay, but I wouldn't want to be there multiple nights.

We are all about staying at cheap motels, but our room was basically a large closet turned into a room. The shower was unusable unless you’re the size of a child, the outlet in the bathroom didn’t work and came out of the wall when I unplugged from it, and the toilet really needs a lid on it.
