Outstanding, relaxing & excellent
Everything was outstanding. The room was immaculate and I loved the paintings on the walls. Breakfast was delicious with a Costa Rican flair. I went swimming in the outdoor pool which was warm and so inviting. The outdoor dining room allowed me time to take in the view of the canyon as well as the birds. Everyone was very friendly and even the owners were very hospitable. I highly recommend the Vista Canyon Inn over any traditional hotel if you want a relaxed inviting place to stay.

Small boutique-like inn, located in a neighborhood. The staff were wonderful, breakfast very good. Pool is small, water warm. Rooms are nothing fancy, air conditioning units are noisy so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Owner lives on the property, not super engaging, just wants to play retired. 😊. Paola was very helpful, a gem of an employee. Outdoor seating is nice, overall a nice stay.

Nice, homely property to make for a pleasant stay. I love that it’s far enough away from downtown San Jose that’s it’s not as congested and yet, close enough to get to where you need to get to quickly. The property itself has nice amenities, pool, hot tub, stocked kitchen, breathtaking views and is well maintained by the owner & staff. The fresh cooked daily breakfast was simply amazing!
Room was decent but a bit uncomfortable IMO. The mini-split functioned well so temperature wasn’ta problem. I’m ok with the fact that the room itself was bite-sized but a few other factors made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. The pillows were uncomfortably soft to me. Had to put a decorative pillow underneath it for support. We had unruly neighbors at one point that played TV or talked loud at certain points of the night which could be clearly heard or turned the light right outside of our rooms on which is bright enough to wake up a light sleeper like myself. Nothing major, just minor gripes. Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay.
