I had a guest come to come in town and this was the only location I felt my guest would enjoy considering they waited until the last minute to book reservations. Don't do this traveler's. The hotel was in a great location and my guest agreed to that but he was not pleased with the marks and smell of the... more

Anytime a hotel does not have several pictures of its establishment posted on its webpage, it is a sure sign that this would not be a good place to stay. This establishment is run down and not worth making any accommodation reservations - let alone eating the complimentary breakfast. Check-In at 2:30 a. m. after a long 6-hour drive. Settled... more

I had a reservation at the Alta Vista as part of a trip to golf on the Robert Trent Jones course. It seemed affordable (meaning cheap) and decent. That was not the case. First, the hotel itself is located on a dark back road marked by little signs - it's not on a main drag. Second, the rooms smell and... more

My husband and I stayed for one night here and it was very peaceful. The staff that we saw was nice. We received a complimentary coupon for our breakfast and it was really nice also. Our overall visit was very well. more

Pretty good overall. After reading some of the other reviews, I actually booked a backup hotel just in case. I did not need it. The room was clean. The mattresses comfortable. Sheets and pillows were fresh. The view was nice. The breakfast was not so nice. There were 2 small buffet tables with some eggs, sausage and a little bacon... more

I stayed in this hotel back in November and we loved it so much my fiance and I are getting married there on the Garden Terrace. The view is incredible and the service is fantastic. The hotel is not your typical chain hotel which makes it appealing to me. The breakfast was great too! I would recommend it to try. more

Never again will i stay there. The place is really run down, water stains everywhere on the ceilings, very out dated, and the customer service was terrible. Looks nothinglike the pics on internet. The lady over charged us by $70.00 and tried to pocket it. Luckly we caught it before we left. more

The AltaVista is disgustingly run down. Drapes, linens, carpet etc. are at least 10-20 years old, and the A/C cover was mostly off, leaving the interior machinery exposed. The room we were assigned had a shower with two settings: off and scaldingly hot. We didn't discover this "feature" until bedtime- when we complained to the front desk, we were not... more

Actually, I was surprised at the reviews. Is it really the same place I stayed? The decor was excellent, the staff was friendly and helpful, the breakfast was good, and the rooms were great. I loved the view. This is where I stay all of the time and would recommend it to anyone. more

We recently stayed at the Alta Vista and I have to say that I didn't find it to be a dive. The view was very nice from the patio (our room wasn't on the side of the hotel with the city view) and the breakfast was very good and included in the rate. However, the tv reception wasn't so good... more
