Getting Here

What is the closest airport to Buena Vista?

If you fly private, Central Colorado Regional Airport (CCRA) is the closest airport, just two miles away. Colorado Springs Airport (COS) is two hours away, and Denver International Airport (DEN), 40 minutes further, typically offers more flexible flight options. 

Is there free parking on-site?

All public parking in South Main is free of charge, and there are many free spaces either in dirt parking lots or streets adjacent to the hotel. Please note: When we are hosting a concert, parking areas may fill up more quickly.

Hotel Stays

What is your cancellation policy?

Guests can cancel their reservation for a full refund up to two days before their check-in date. If reservations are canceled after that point, they will be charged a cancellation fee equal to the cost of one night's stay, plus tax.

What are check-in & check-out times and can I check-in or out early?

Check-in is 4:00 PM and check-out is 11:00 AM. We cannot guarantee an early check-in or late check-out. However, please let us know if you plan to arrive early, and we’ll contact you as soon as your room is ready.

Who do I contact to make changes to my reservation?

If your reservation was made through the Surf Hotel website, please contact us via text (719.309.4055) or email ([email protected]) to modify your reservation. If you booked through a third-party site (such as Booking.com or Expedia) any changes to your reservation must be made through that site.
