What guests think

At Best Western Vista Inn, travellers consistently praise friendly, attentive staff, very clean spaces, and an above‑average complimentary breakfast with lots of options, while a few note higher prices and the lack of an elevator to upper floors.

Rooms are generally comfortable and sometimes spacious, with some newer touches alongside areas that feel a bit dated; a handful of guests reported TV/Wi‑Fi hiccups and mixed impressions of paid mountain‑view rooms. Facilities include a large, well‑kept pool, hot tub and small gym, plus an on‑site coffee and gift shop, though occasional maintenance or temperature issues were noted for the hot tub. The location is convenient for walking to downtown and feels quiet away from traffic. A dependable base for exploring Buena Vista.

For some reason, there isn't signage identifying the property from the street. Staff was wonderful: Cheerful, attentive, helpful, accommodating. Room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was nice. Disappointing that the hot tub, that we really wanted to use after a cold morning of rafting, was not available due to an all-day cleaning.

This hotel is extremely clean with filtered water bottle fountain, an amazing breakfast and convenient parking. Only downside — sheets are not high quality. Also, no elevator so if you cannot carry your luggage up one flight be sure that your room is on the main floor. I felt very comfortable in this hotel.

Recently refurbished, No Elevator for second floor, staff would not allow to move to a non Mountain View room. Windows are dirty to the Mountain View. Travel app users have limited options. “You should have called us direct. Out of five nights stays this is the worst. Not friendly 500.00 waiver required for damages with room inspections daily for your cleanup. Thinks this is five star, it’s a 27 year old property with lipstick. Shower has dirt build up in the corners.

Very nice spacious room. Loved that they put plenty of towels in the room, no need to ask the front desk for more like most places force you to. I appreciated the good quality desk chair our room had. The hotel has a very large pool compared to most, you can actually get a swim workout in if you want to. Lots of variety in their breakfast offerings also. I would definitely stay here again.

Overall, very good place to stay in BV. It is a little dated, but they seem to take good care of it with lots of staff. Breakfast is great with 2 support staff working hard throughout b-fast hours. The View is a gift shop and coffee/ smoothie shop that is loaded with tons of gifts and knick knacks (huge shop). Rooms facing the mountains have incredible view.

We’ve stayed here twice in the past few years and have a good experience both times. We are generally in town for hiking and enjoying downtown BV. We have always had an easy check-in, good coffee from the cafe downstairs, and the rooms are clean and quiet. We are able to walk to and from downtown without a problem. Our only criticism would be to have better blackout curtains on the east-facing rooms for the people who want to sleep in while the sun comes up!

Nice place. Not sure "mountain view" is worth it overlooking parking lot and trees and highway. Breakfast wasn't very good. But safe well lit parking lot. Convenient access and close to main parts of town. No dedicated bike parking but plenty of room near "smoking" area. Overall a good stay but for the price, not a great value.

They offered pancakes, sausage, biscuits and gravy and eggs, along with the standard cold breakfast items. They even offered Peet's coffee and Royal Crest milk. Better than most hotel breakfasts.
