Best Western Vista Inn

We have stayed at this Best Western several times as we drive through on our way to Santa Fe. The hotel is nice, clean and quiet. It does offer a breakfast, but not the best, but good enough for something quick to grab and go. The coffee is nice and strong. A good option to stay in Buena Vista with reasonable prices. less

I travel around CO a fair amount on business and I've done a number of Tripadvisor reviews. I take them seriously because I think other people may depend on them as much as I. Three years (and two or three visits ago) I gave the BV Best Western a five star review. I'm hoping the owner/manager/person-in-charge will see this and consider some suggestions from a relatively frequent guest. This motel is slipping, in my opinion. It's still the best choice in Buena Vista and probably the best choice in both BV and Salida/Poncha Springs. But it is not at the same level as before, in my opinion. Still great - front desk staff, cleaning crew, extremely active breakfast room attendants and the view coming out the front door, as always is as drop-dead great as anywhere in CO. What needs some attention is 1) mattresses, 2) pillows, and (not sure what they can do about this other than knocking out a wall) 3) a pretty crowded breakfast room. My mattress and pillows were probably great a few years ago but (particularly the pillows) are ready to be replaced. The breakfast room simply is too small at anything like motel capacity (and I was there on a Tuesday night in late March). Plenty of fresh food thanks to tireless efforts from two staff members, but still pretty close quarters. If I didn't have such fond memories from 5-star days in 2015 I probably would have given a 4 star in 2018, but it's time to freshen the place up a bit, folks. Sorry! less

A beautiful property with a great view of the mountains. From check-in to check-out this place has been great. All employees I’ve encountered have been very friendly and seem motivated about and proud of where they work. No question I’ve asked hasn’t been greeted with a smile and a helpful answer. The pool area is very nice with a long pool for laps and a whirl pool for relaxing. Exercise room is well equipped. The morning breakfast is well above the average and I would venture to say if you left hungry it would be your fault. There’s also a coffee and gift shop attached to the property. A great place to relax. less

Here for a few days on business pleasantly surprised by the attention of the staff and the condition of the older hotel. Very quiet and the bread easy was great. The heating system was ok pretty normal for most hotels. less

We have family who lives in Buena Vista, CO and have stayed at other venues, but the Best Western Vista Inn is by far the best value and quality. The excellent gift shop and coffee bar included in the facility is a wonderful asset. The breakfast selection was superior. The amenities in our room were outstanding. less
