“Very rude front desk clerk.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

When this was The Econo Lodge it was a very nice place to stay. Now I will not stay there with the new ownership. The front desk clerk was very rude and snappy. He lost his cool and was very disrespectful. After standing at the window for 20 minutes waiting for someone to help us he finally showed up. Obviously we had woken him up. We were complaining about having to wait and shout behind the desk to get someone's attention so he refused to give us a room. Went across the street the the Riverside.

I agree with ConcernedTraveller23

“Cheap, but....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

I was offered the special rate of $33/night for my 10-night stay so I went for it. First I'll mention the positives... Free internet with a strong connection even from the 3rd floor. Refrigerator and microwave were included in the room and the price was reasonable. The negatives... When I entered the bathroom I discovered a thick black residue along the waterline of the toilet. The bed was very hard as were the pillows... I ended up going to Walmart and purchasing an air-mattress and pillow to make do. When I checked out, I politely mentioned to the owner some of the problems in the room such as a few non-working outlets and lamps, but rather than be receptive, he angrily said "How many complaints are you going to make?" It was his rudeness that inspired me to write this review. So in conclusion, it's a cheap motel... this would probably be a great place to bring your insignificant other, but next time I'll look elsewhere.

The front desk clerk was very rude and snappy. He lost his cool and it was very disrespectful. Aside from that, the microwave and fridge were a nice touch! Will not return.

“It was awesome!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 February 2009

This hotel is my favorite. I had 3 rooms and 7 people. They have everything! There was a free contenental breakfast, 24 hour apple and orange juice and coffee, free high speed wireless internet, elevator, restaurants, and an amazing deal. I got one room for $40. It was clean, quiet, cozy, and if you went somewhere else you would be paying about $90 for all of this. I got a good deal because of the new opening. They were called the Econo Lodge but now its the Vista Inn. The owner said he wasn't going to raise the prices until June. He said theyre going to be only $4 - $6 more. I'm definetly coming back.
