We took a chance on this hotel since it's so reasonably priced, but were very pleased with how spacious and clean it was. The receptionist was highly efficient and helped us obtain a coffee maker which wasn't in the room. The bed was firm but very comfortable. New tile in the shower and a new toilet. Everything about it is... More

It's the same place I always stay when I take my annual hunting trip to Buena Vista. The service was a lot better this year, asked for extra pillows and not only did we get the pillows we received extra towels and ash trays. It's a nice place to stay in the middle of town and the prices are reasonable.... More

Found this at the last minute when all else was booked- gave us a senior discount and reasonable pet fees! Some children can do more damage than dogs! Close to grocery store, and other conviences. Room is clean. one fault is no coffee maker in room. Would stay here again!

After grossly overpaying at the "quaint" i.e. old and outdated motel up the street, I was delighted to find this modern motel for less than half the price and a very reasonable fee for my pets. Counter person was helpful, friendly and courteous. Room was basic without a fridge or microwave, but clean and large with a vaulted ceiling. {... More

Buena Vista was a great place to stop on a long road-trip up from New Mexico to Denver by the scenic route and this hotel was exactly what we expected . The room was spotless and comfortable. Breakfast was ample but very boring - just a little more fresh fruit or some homemade muffins ( rather than the very tasteless... More

Very nice help at the desk. Nothing fancy and no extras but very clean and quiet. Quincey's was a great place to eat. On the morning of check-out we even got to watch a deer in the hotel flowers chowing down! The decor is VERY dated and again it's not fancy but I'd stay here again. Also the office is... More

I have always had good experiences staying here. If anything is not right, they make it right. It is a family owned business and the room is always clean and comfy. The price is right and located close to eating establishments, parks/trails, river, etc.

I have stayed at the Sumac, "Best Western" many times on get-a-ways and for a lot of hunting trips. I originally reserved two rooms for our hunting party for November 5 & 6th this year 45 days in advance. The price I was quoted by a gentleman named Steve was $43.00 per night, however, when we checked out we were... More

My friend and I stayed one night at this hotel after a long day of 4-wheeling in the mountains around St. Elmo. The front desk lady gave us a 10% discount when we asked for it, so we paid less than $70 total for the night (September). The room was clean, and as the other reviews have said, it's an... More

I have been visiting Beuna Vista since 1979, mostly for hunting but for backpacking, camping with my children and grandchildren, four wheel driving, sight seeing and fishing. My brother & I have been hunting there for almost 40 years and have stayed at the Sumac many times. It's not a 5 Star place but you wont find a 5 Star... More
