This place is nice but very basic. Make sure you bring your own shampoo, conditoner , and lotion. The only thing the had was soap! The container in the shower that held the shampoo and conditioner was empty. I found that out when I was dripping wet!
Was placed here by a hockey tournament. What a disappointment. The hotel is dated and tired. Very minimal amenities and the room was a throwback to the 80's. The fridge and microwave are off, and when turned on, perform poorly. My PC monitor is larger than the TV int he room. There is garbage under the bed. The beds were small doubles, not queens. So tight quarters. The provided breakfast was dry waffle strips and a variety of cereals. There was fresh fruit, so that was good. Most of the hockey families opted to go get breakfast elsewhere. WIFI was good. Could not wait to get out of there.
Grand Vista is our home away from home when we're in town visiting family. We love it here. That said, the hotel is looking a bit shabby in the details. Nothing was dirty or in ill-repair, just somewhat worn-looking. We'll still come. Just want you to know we noticed. Also, we would rather you increase the room price by $10/night and then give us free parking. It seems dishonest to advertise the room price as very low and then charge for parking--especially in Southern California, where almost no one charges for parking.
The hotel is old and out dated but rooms were clean. Rooms were exactly as pictured; I would say it was ok for a 1-night stay. Only about 5 minutes to Reagan Museum so conveniently located if you're visiting that. Was disappointed at the "additional charges" they tack on. $10 to park, really? There is a huge outdoor lot; at least offer a garage if you're charging. $15 for a breakfast (cereal, fruit, yogurt, toast, no eggs or hot options) that any other hotel throws in for free! Towels were tiny and rough but did the job. Bring your own soap, the tiny bars supplied are only good for 1 person and the cheap soap doesn't lather. Not a lot of dining options close. We stayed there because it was close to the Reagan Museum but in hindsight should have chosen hotel over location.…
Never heard of this place and had no idea what to expect. It is a large four floor mid to early eighties kind of place. Well maintained, walls, carpets and elevators all newly surfaced, so that is good. Room was large and clean. Bath half way updated with shower tiles and new vanity, old tub and bowl. Water was fine. Was not able to use pool due to work but the pool area looked great. They charge for parking which I hate. The breakfast was good enough that I came back two more days no real reason to find a diner. The breakfast buffet looked poor. Now, some other reviews mentioned bugs and some other cleanliness issues. Initially I did not see any. When I came into the bath one night with the lights off I did notice some tiny any like bugs on the tub and shower curtain, maybe ten. Also, one day I had breakfast, the next day I came to the same table and it still had my two menus, my coffee ring, and the ketchup I asked for from the day before. Since it was my mess I guess that was ok, but they didn't wipe the table for 24 hours. Breakfast is served fast. If it were not for parking fee and the other two issues I might give this place a five due to price.…
We love Grand Vista Hotel! It has been our home for many trips back to visit family. Yes, the room furniture and bedding show a little bit of wear. But everything was clean and the staff is wonderful. The pool area especially is fabulous--a nice pool and jacuzzi surrounded by abundant lush plants, 6 tables with umbrellas and 3 cabana-like areas. If you bring your own toiletries, you'll be all set. One disappointment--the hotel is now charging $10/night for parking.
I will first say that the front desk staff was nice and understanding! The customer service of the gentlemen from the front was outstanding given the circumstances. We traveled here with our toddler to come visit family. The hotel and room are not as the pictures look. We walked into our room and the whole room smelled like weed. There was also pieces of weed still on the bathroom counter. The smell was awful, the tv didn’t even turn on and there is no way they even cleaned this room with weed pieces still on the counter. Needless to say I was not staying here, the room next to us looked like someone was actually living in it it was full of stuff everywhere. I could not believe how dirty the hotel felt. This is not a family friendly hotel. They were very accommodating to us in obtaining a refund so we could go to a different hotel. This was not the front staffs fault and I want to make it a point that the customer service the gentleman provided was amazing, I was exhausted from flying all day and upset to have come to a room like that with our daughter and he completely understood.…
Room was very quiet. Amenities include in-room microwave, refrigerator, iron and ironing board, and coffee! Room service available. I will plan to stay here again. Location just a few minutes from freeway access.
Having grown up in Simi, I was looking forward to staying here with my wife and two daughters. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to lodge in the Simi Valley area. The room was clean and I was not concerned about walking barefoot on the carpet in the morning and as I got ready for bed. The mattress was too soft for my taste, but my wife loved it. Given the present COVID hysteria, I was not surprised to find that there is no coffee in the lobby. I do not know if this is typical for the property. The in-room coffee was good enough to get me going and housekeeping always left extra or would give me some more pods when I requested them. We were right next to the ice machine so that was very handy. My family loved the hotel and we would gladly come here again. I wish I had taken some photos to bolster my review. Maybe next time.…
Thank you to Henry at front desk, Paul the room serviceman, the kitchen staff for a delicious meal, and others for being so kind and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again. I stayed in a 2 bed room with a family member and it was safe, quiet, and the hotel is beautiful upon entering. I love the space and reasonable price.
