Our stay at the Vista was fantastic! It’s an older property, but has been beautifully renovated. The bed was so comfortable and our room had an amazing view of the valley. The staff were super friendly, our room was clean, and the nespresso was a nice touch!

The room was completely renivated and lovely. The buildings on this property are older and need some renos to make the outside as nice as the inside. And the reception area could use some mire decorating to give a better first impression.

My stay was excellent but I found the bathroom not cleaned on my first stay. On my return it was good and clean. The noise level was ok with the air conditioner running. You can hear walking and water running from showers above you. Otherwise an excellent stay the staff were friendly but they were not in office but on site if you needed them. The breakfast was a to go . Did not think it was a good menu.

The pink accents give you Vegas flamingo hotel Vibe, over the room was great, beds were clean and comfy. I like that it was close to downtown and the main highway to carry in to Vancouver. Price was right as well. Would stay here again.
