“Never Stay at this Voo-Doo Dive !”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I was in Fitzgerald on business last month and I will never stay at the Vista or reccomend it to anyone to stay there ! I have always heard if you see any type of business that looks deserted BEWARE !!! The sayiing is true !!! When we arrived there were no cars in the parking lot for good reason , the hotel was TERRIBLE ! If we would have had cell service I would have redirected our guest to stay else where ... the hotel had animal crap every where ,the owners kids with their puppy and a bird of some sort that looked diseased were every where all over the hotel. The kids were fighting and cussing and even used racist remarkes about one of my co-workers . The rooms were horrible ! The towels and bed linens were stained and were full of hair from God knows what ! I honestly don't know what these people were thinking when they opened this business , to run it as a chicken-coup is my guess! They ignored my attempts to gain some type of satisfaction with all the money we were chared . My entire group was very upset , the smell in the hotel of curry and insences were too much in so we couldn't stomach coffee the next morning . The owner lived in the hotel and they all run around bare footed and in their P.J's till almost lunch and was anything but a professionl run business! We were checked in by a really nice woman at the front desk (an american) , she was pleasant but the rest of the staff was rude and insulting when we told them of the mold and soured smell in the rooms . If the rooms were free would have been too much let alone what we were charged ! I will never stay in a dump like that again and will have my company do some checking before we book any Vista Inn that is connected to them in any way ! Hope this helps anyone on the road !

“Great Service. Great Price. Now upgrade the amenities”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2010

This was a spur of the moment visit to Fitzgerald, because of a death in the family. Now granted, there are no 5-star or 4-star for that matter, hotels in Fitzgerald... so you really have to pick the best of the rest. I will say, the young lady at the front desk, not only offered our large party a great rate, because of our circumstance and the urgency, but she also stuck to that same rate, even after we arrived hours later than expected (some even checked in after midnight). The rate quoted and charged was distinctively lower than anouther hotel across the hwy, that some others in our party secured. So, for the price alone.. I was very pleased, and I didn't even have to mention the Facebook 15% discount.

Location: Hey, its Fitzgerald... enough said. but there is a Huddle House, a Wendy's and a Burger King in walking distance. As well as a convenience store. And Wal-Mart is a short drive around the corner. There is no railroad track nearby, which says alot for Fitzgerald, which is notorious for late night freight-liners making their run. The parking lot is very well lit, and very spacious for larger vehicles and trailers.

Cleanliness: Well, to be nice, overall, the grounds and lobby and hallways were well kept. I was very pleased that the lobby smelled of cleanliness and not mildewed or soured. However, i was hurt when I found out that the food being prepared in the breakfast room was not for us.. Man it smelled good.

Rooms: The room key cards worked the first time around. That is always a plus. The light switches worked. The bed spreads matched (we had a double room), and the chair was not stained. The main drawback and a very unnerving one was the appearance of the bathtowels. It is quite obvious that the towels need to be replaced. Of the 4 complete towel sets in the bathroom (total of 16 pieces), over half were stained beyond belief. Had they been washed? I think so. Should they have been discarded? Very much so. Either these towelsl have been around for years on end, or the cleaning staff does not believe in bleach.(and i was able to catch a glimpse of the washing machines, and i can see why the towels looked they way they did... time to upgrade) Luckily, we always travel with our own towel sets. There was no mold or mildew to be found in the room or bathroom, and I was very pleased with cleanliness overall.

Amenities: Very nice micro-fridge set. Coffee maker. Iron. Ironing board(although i had to request from the front desk, and it arrived in less than 5 mins.) Wi-fi (no charge, and it worked). Second, disappointment was the continental breakfast. I'm assuming we caught the hotel staff off guard with the # of people we had, and the fact that it was mid week, but ummm.. be prepared to visit the drive-thru of one of the nearby restaurants. But then again, for the price we paid for the room, no major complaints.

Overall: I have stayed at probably 4 other hotelsl in this town, and by far, I enjoyed this one the most. For the price, the overall cleanliness, the wonderful staff (including the talking parakeet or parrot)... I will definitely visit this hotel again.

“Do not stay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2009

We attended a wedding and this was one of the recommend places to stay. Wish I had paid more and stayed somewhere else. Sink was in poor condition, no stopper. Tub stopper was not attached. Lock on entrance door was not working properly and very difficult to get into. It took as many as 20 tries to get to unlock. Could not run the heater at night because curtain was blowing up and left window uncovered. Bed was so hard that the floor would have been more comfortable to sleep on. I would never stay at this place again.

“Disgustingly Filthy dirty!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2009

We made reservations at this hotel because we were attending a funeral and needed a place to stay. When we arrived we noticed mold/mildew on the outside of the hotel. We looked at a room and it was very filthy with mold/mildew. We went back to the front desk and said we wanted to cancel. They said we were past our 24 hour cancellation. We said we are absolutely not staying here because it is filthy dirty. The hotel said back to us that they were going to write our name down and that we could never stay there again. Horrible customer service and very rude!!
