My wife and I stayed in room 210 for a night and had a wonderful experience! The space was tastefully decorated and renovated nicely. We've had mixed experiences with boutique hotels, but this is an example of one done well. It's conveniently located downtown on Main Street (upstairs) and is a perfect way to either visit the city, or enjoy a night while passing through. The front desk is virtual in the form of text messaging, which we had zero issue with getting our room code and to check out, and we found they responded to our inquiry about parking promptly. The parking lot is off of Railroad street in a public lot that we had zero issues with. The electronic locks for the rooms took a moment to understand, but worked fine to lock/unlock the room. (Hint: Double tap the logo and the keypad appears). Though the pricing can be a bit expensive, it seems in line with what you can expect to pay in mountain towns. Overall, our stay at The Inn left us with the feeling that we got what we paid for, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Very nice renovation of space in an old building within walking distance of shops and restaurants in Buena Vista. Anything else you will need within a mile or two. Plenty of parking close by.Nice decore, plenty of hot water and good bathroom. Sent text 2 days prior to visit. No response. Directions didn't say that door needed to be locked electronicaly when you left the room. For first 24 hrs I couldn't get the door to lock. I was told that the doors needed adjustment. The safe in the room was already locked when I arrived. Was told they couldn't find the key fob to open it. Took a day to fix. New toilet had 3 or 4 problems. Installed incorrectly. I fixed a few of the issues to keep it from sticking but still could use some work.I didn't have any noise issues. The restaurant below closes at 9pm. I stayed 3 nites and was hiking most days and going to bed at 8-9pm. The mattress and pillows were fantastic as well as well functioning A/C and a good ice machine.There are no dressers in the room. Not even luggage stands. You Have to work out of your luggage from the floor. Not good for this level of Inn.No usable chair in the room. There was one "sling" chair that was not easy to sit on and zero back support. I like a chair to read. I don't like to have to sit in the bed whenever I used the room. I sat in the chair to put on my socks and boots and the chair tipped over and my forehead struck the edge of the bed leaving a half inch cut. Minimal blood.Trash, trash, trash!!!!There was one trash can located in the bathroom and no place to empty trash. Hydrate, hydrate. I used a case of water and 16 bottles of Gatorade. Nowhere to put the empty bottles.There are 25 steps to to rooms. I am athletic older man. It was painful to carry multiple 40 lb. suitcases and packs up those stair.The Inn did send me a text...... on the last day, asking what they could do to improve my stay. To little too late. I have been gone for 4 days. I had expected the INN to reach out to me personally about my issues.I expect the owner to respond to this review. That is all u can expect for service during you stay.... The perfunctory virtual response.This place has potential but alot to learn about hospitality. I sincerely wish them luck.

This is a very cute, wonderfully quiet little hotel. We stayed here two nights on a short getaway from Denver, and we appreciated the ease of communication with staff we never actually saw. Our room was comfortably furnished with high ceilings, it was a pleasant space to be in. The only thing I can think to suggest for improvement would be light-blocking window shades.It is unusual in that there are no staff immediately on site - I communicated with them via text. I suspect they must live nearby, and the service was fine for our needs. But travelers who want amenities like room service won't get it here. I'm also not sure about accessibility - all of the hotel rooms are on the second floor, reached via stairs. There might be a hidden elevator somewhere - if that's something you need you should check before making a reservation.Last thing: on our way out of town we stopped to check out another new(ish) hotel in Buena Vista that we'd heard about. I won't name it because this review is about The Inn at BV Railroad and Main, but: we were wearing face masks (COVID) when we entered the lobby, and checked out the ground floor restaurant. The entire ground floor smelled very strongly of wood smoke, immediately apparent even with our masks on. It was late morning and the restaurant wasn't open, so I don't think the smell could be fully attributed to kitchen activities. Maybe the smell was a temporary thing and this other hotel seemed nice enough, but I was very glad we'd stayed in the scent-free comfort of The Inn at BV Railroad and Main.

Stayed three nights a couple of weeks ago to celebrate our anniversary, loved it. Decor, setting, contact M.O., it all worked really well for us. Our room was very spacious with high ceilings and very tastefully appointed. We didn't want a cookie cutter corporate-like hotel and The Inn delivered as hoped. Will stay there again for certain.

A little tricky to find the website. Just do a Google search for The Inn at BV Railroad and Main to check availability. There is no front desk. The rooms are located on the second floor. Prior to check in you get a text for the main door code and your room code. There is no elevator ( at least I did not see one). The rooms are spacious and beautiful. The location is great. A pizza restaurant is located on the first floor. The pizza was good. Great shops in the area. You can also walk to the trails along the Arkansas River. I would definitely stay at this location again.

Beautiful boutique hotel/inn. About a dozen rooms, and you get to pick yours out online. We had a king bed in a beautifully appointed room with a mountain view. Quiet and lovely, right on Main Street in Buena Vista. Nice restaurant downstairs. One oddity - there's no real lobby. Staff was great, and helpful with recommendations.

This place is a gem! I needed a place last minute and only really knew of the Surf Hotel. They were booked and recommended I give The Inn a call. I'm so glad I did! What a beautiful little boutique hotel. Matt took GREAT care of me and got me set up in a fabulous room for the night within minutes. The decor was just my style - classy, mountain-chic AND modern. Easy check-in with door codes (no front desk) and a dynamite pizza spot downstairs. Coffee and breakfast right across the street, as well as a sweet vintage shop next door to it (Sun Dog.) I walked down to the river after checking in and went for a sunset hike and then headed back for pizza and restful sleep in the super comfy king-size bed (with a classic European painting of a dog that looked just like mine hanging over it!) Thank you guys for making my night in Buena Vista perfect! I love this place and will definitely have it as my top pick when I find myself in BV again.
