We stopped for one night on our way from Calgary to Vancouver. Hotel was simple but clean and affordable which is all we were looking for. I would stay there again for a short time.

We had a very nice room with sliding glass doors looking out to a beautiful view of the valley. The only drawback to the room was that it didn’t have a microwave but we managed without it.

My stay at the Vista Inn was a pleasant one. It was a nice room and I felt safe. The staff were welcoming and friendly. My only bit of feedback would be that the mechanism that you pull up on the bath tap to direct the water out of the shower head needs to be looked at. I had to jiggle it a bit for it to work properly, and there was still a bit of water coming out the bottom tap. Also, some fixtures in the bathroom need attention like the hand towel rail which is coming loose from the wall. Overall though, I really enjoyed my stay. Thank you.

It was clean and roomy, with a nice up to date look to it. The staff was great. I flew in late after hours. the staff kept in contact with me and insured there would be someone at the front desk when I checked in. They were there waiting and I quickly checked in to my room. They were all very friendly.

Front desk clerk was very nice. Room with a great view and quiet. When staying more than one night, it would have been nice to have the nesspesso (sic) refreshed rather than having to go to the front desk. Over all though a great stay.

The property has been recently renovated, so that was nice. However, there are a few things that would be nice to see in order to compete with other hotels. 1. While the grab and go breakfast is ok, it would be great if they could find a way to offer a better breakfast. 2. The pullout couch needs a mattress that actually fits in the frame. It was too small which left the metal frame exposed on one side. 3. The suite bedroom needs a set of drawers. 4. The main room in the suite could use a lamp - the kitchen light is too bright in the evenings while watching TV.

I was honestly quite surprised by the property, it was clean, elegant and had some terrific views out the back with the (small) balcony, plus theres this great viewing area connected to the hotel parking lot and its close to some good dining options. Its fairly no-frills but it was priced to match so I'm not at all upset with the value. Its hard to afford hotels these days but if kept at their price I'll definitely make this my first choice when I'm back in town.
