We have stayed at the Surf Hotel a number of times and it remains one of our favorite hotels. We book a river front room with a balcony overlooking the Arkansas River and are never disappointed. The rooms are beautiful, the staff super friendly and helpful.

Saltwater Pool Meets Riverside Comfort”

Comfy beds and a gorgeous location right on the river made for a very relaxing stay. The atmosphere is boutique and well designed, with a restaurant on site that serves excellent food and drinks. The riverside setting is hard to beat, and it’s easy to walk into town or explore nearby trails. What stood out most was the quiet setting and the overall comfort of the rooms. The outdoor spaces are well thought out and make it easy to enjoy the mountain views. If you’re looking for a stylish, relaxing place in Buena Vista with a great restaurant and riverside access, this hotel delivers.
