Okay, this is not a four-star hotel as far as furnishings by any means.
It's a Super-8 hotel with modest rooms and accomodations.
The rooms are larger than what you might get across the river at Laughlin.
Most of the rooms also have refrigerators and microwaves, unlike the casino hotels. It just depends what you're looking for.
The hotel sits on top of a hill and overlooks the Colorado River, which is a nice ammenity. We just relocated to BHC from Tucson Arizona and have been staying here for two months while we transition. I find the staff friendly and cordial. The staff has mentioned that they don't "put up" with any kind of illicit and intrusive activity.
I don't believe the rooms are worth the price for someone to pay upwards of $70.00 per night. Weekly rates are better. I do think the hotel needs a little work in their furnishings. The cleaniness could be a tad tighter. But I believe they fit a niche in the hotel market for this area. The pool always seems clean.
Best Western hotel down the street has smaller rooms. The rooms are cleaner and more modern, and also more expensive. For a short stay, like a weekend, it wouldn't be bad. But, because Best Western sits at street level, I have experienced some "undesirable" vibes from people who walk around the area.
So, that's why we're at the Grand Vista. Because it sits on top of a hill, and, unless someone has business up there, they usually wouldn't want to walk up the hill. And, the neighborhood behind the Grand Vista has hills with nice homes that we enjoy walking in the morning.
The hotel also has a well-lighted parking lot and cameras.
I've noticed that the Grand Vista is a favorite for very small construction crews who are here temporarily to work on a project. I haven't experienced any intrusive activity by them. They usually work hard all day long and come back to the hotel to relax, before getting up early to do it all over again. They're always up early, so they go to bed early. They have been very quiet.
Grand Vista is kind of your down-home, Super-8 Hotel/Motel. It just depends what you're looking for. There's plenty of parking if you're hauling your boat or sea-doo.
