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.
