Disliked: Cleanliness
We had some challenges with the room cleanliness- first room the floor had mud on it and tub was dirty, then next room one of the beds had stained sheets. GM was happy to hear feedback and I know it’s hard to get good staff. It’s a good location to be close to foods and downtown. Nice view from room.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff was extremely pleasant and the rooms are clean and renovated. A small but unfortunate aspect of this property then I noticed on several separate visits, is that the parking lot seems to be a local hang out for young men in the late evenings. They never bothered us with interactions. Simply loud.

Our room had a beautiful panoramic view over the Western valley, an excellent Indian Restaurant ( Flavours of India) is right next door with a similarly spectacular view & we woke to the sound of song birds cavorting outside our window. Precious.

Great value, fantastic location near TRU.

Stayed three nights at the Vista Inn in the middle of February whike checking out Thompson Rivers University. It is a short walk to the campus, near shopping, restaurants and beautiful valley views. Rooms were very clean, well-maintained and comfortable. Would definitely recommend it for a clean, comfy and affordable stay in Kamloops.

Great stay

Great stay! Everything from the checkin to check out was great! The pink accents stand out and will be something we remember. The pink doors for every room made me smile. It was so cold outside and we walked into a nice, warm room. Everything was clean. The bed was comfortable. The room wasbig and the view of the valley really nice. The guys at the front desk at check-in and check-out were very kind.
