Nice hotel, large clean room with nice view, no problem booking in, friendly staff, and breakfast in reception to take out is different but a good idea. There are 2 nice Indian restaurants in walking distance so you don’t need to go far, overall a good experience and would recommend this hotel.

This is my 3rd stay at the renovated vista hotel and have enjoyed it everytime. The front desk staff were very friendly and incredibly accommodating as my last stay i had to leave at 4am to catch a flight. They told me they would have a bagged breakfast ready for me and I can have extra coffee pods for the room. The room.was very clean and the bed was super comfy. This is definitely my go to hotel now for my stays in kamloops.

Coffee machine is a Nespresso. Two levels, no elevator. Newly renovated and clean. Air conditioner on wall, never had to use it though. Fridge is a good size with a freezer compartment.

6/10 Good

The staff were friendly, the room was very tidy. Although the room was so cold and I think they need new baseboard heaters. One of the staff members was kind and brought us a portable cube heater. I wasn’t impressed with the continental breakfast. It was more of a grab a couple things, fruit, yogurt, packaged muffins,and go.

Motel vibes with hotel quality. Looks like they recently renovated, and they did a great job of it. My room was super clean and the staff were always friendly. Very comfortable bed, and all the basics covered in the room. The breakfast was modest, but very convenient. I happened to get the room at the very corner of the hotel, and the view was incredible. Would easily recommend Vista Inn.
