Top Central Malibu Hotel Reviews

Grand Vista Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I usually stay with family when I visit Simi Valley. However, our entire family came in and I just needed a room on my own as my dad had passed away and I needed some peace without the noise of kids, etc. I was very surprised how nice the accommodations were and did not know of the Grand Vista hotel, having lived in Simi Valley for a long time, then went to the military, retired and now living in NW FL. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there, from the friendly and helpful staff, the Arena, the complementary breakfast, the cleanliness of the rooms/service and the overall appearance of the grounds. Next time with family visits and I need peace, will be revisiting the Grand Vista in Simi. Thank you."
