What guests think

At VISTA VILLA MOTEL, travelers describe a no‑frills, budget stay with convenient access to the ferry, beaches, and town, generally quiet rooms, and an older, basic setup that favors practicality over extras.

Cleanliness is a strong point, with many reviews praising spotless rooms and well-kept grounds. Staff are described as friendly and check-in easy, though the office isn’t always staffed. Common drawbacks include noisy or aging AC, dated decor, limited TV, weak or restricted Wi‑Fi, and a very minimal breakfast. Expect a straightforward, budget-friendly stopover.

The walls are a bit thin and I could hear the people in the rooms next to me. Parking was tricky since the parking lines were not clearly marked. I was not able to park in front of my room.

The motel was very clean. Staff was friendly. Grounds were immaculate. Couldn't beat the location; close to everything. Only negative was the cost for just a motel room but I guess it was because of the location. I would probably stay there again.

Check in and everything else went smooth. First night went fine, they even came in and made beds while we were away for a bit. Second night not so great. While we were winding down, laying down, a cockroach was crawling across the wall. We captured it and kept it in a cup to take to the office but office was closed. We kept the cup in the room while we proceeded to sleep in our car. Talked to office in the morning and she said because we booked through hotels.com we might not get the partial refund we wanted. After all we didn’t use the room the second night.

The room was musty, the bed covering on one bed had streaks, found bugs (small hard shell beetles) on the walls, ceiling, bathroom walls and the worst - on my pillow. Also had a cricket in the room. Able to see daylight (outside) around the noisy air conditioner and entry door. Outside plastic chair broken/cracked. Overall miserable overnight experience.

Compared to lodging in the area, this is a deal. My only complaint was the air conditioning (a wall unit) didn’t seem to have a working thermostat. You had to manually control it to maintain your desired temperature. Once you turned it on it wouldn’t stop running regardless of temperature setting until you turned it completely off. Otherwise, this is a simple no-frills place to stay that was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Staff was very friendly. I would stay here again.

Reasonable price. Available for a last minute summer getaway. Older motel, very clean, but a bit "dated" and musty. Fresh towels offered each day. Service with a smile! Would recommend bringing your own shampoo/conditioner as the brand offered was low quality (i.e. watered down). Also, if you don\'t like weak coffee, plan to bring your own. (Coffee maker available in room).
