Friendly staff and a clean room in an updated motel. Not much to see out the window - grassy hill, but it was fine for a one night stay. The bed was ok, but seemed to have a plastic mattress cover which gave it a bit of a stiff feeling.The breakfast to go was convenient.

First hotel I ever stayed in that didn’t have soap in the shower. Toilet was tiny and the seat was really thin cheap plastic. A/C unit was very noisy. The view was beautiful though

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.
