If you want to be close enough to view the Great Sand Dunes at different times of the day in different light, you have to stay here. There’s a motel, as well as man6 camp sites. The motel is where I stayed and it exceeded expectations. The rooms are basic, but the views right out your back porch are what you are staying here for. It was too cold for me to use the outdoor grill, but in the summer, that would be great. Breakfast was appreciated and more than enough to get the da6 started. The real deal, however, is being right at the dunes and taking it all in, as well as taking several trips 8th the park to catch all the different light that each time of da6 provides.

Hotel's Favorite
I normally hate staying at "motel" style places but we chose here due to location. Excellent choice! Location can't be beat. Views from back patio are clear views of dunes. Favorite place to sit and enjoy. Older woman in office was so sweet. We rented sleds with no issue & checked in early no issue. Very clean rooms with fridge and microwave. Kids loved that it had day bed and trundle so they had their own beds. Breakfast was simple but more than adequate for families especially with young kids (muffins juice coffee granola bars pop tarts waffles toast frozen burritos). They give you trays so everyone comes in grabs food eats back at their rooms patio and just return tray. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again. Booked for location but definitely didn't feel like we "suffered" just to get location. Peaceful stay we'd do again!…

Someone should open a luxe B&B nearby… There’s nothing terribly wrong with the lodge, but nothing good about it either, other than proximity to the park. Indifferent check-in staff, room full of slapdash improvements. “Kitchenette” is a microwave on top of a mini-fridge. If someone opened a nice bed and breakfast nearby they’d be full all season long. And oh yeah, would someone please shoot out the one really bright light on the Oasis cafe/store that ruins the otherwise beautiful night sky??

We took a day trip to the Great Sand Dunes National Park as a part of a longer trip. Were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it was. We decided to stay at the Great Sand Dunes Lodge since it was the closest hotel and got good reviews. It's location, alone, is clearly its biggest draw. It is 18 rooms in a traditional, single story layout. I believe they all have little patios that look over the National Park. Nothing fancy that I could see, but seemingly clean and adequate. We were put in one of (I think) six camping trailers, each different. While it wasn't a bad experience, the trailer clearly needed some work. The shades didn't really work, we found a spatula with food on it in the drawer, and it took us an hour to figure out how the heating worked. The woman at the front desk was nice enough, but when we asked her what the food options were, she said she had a pizza for $!5. We asked her where the nearest town was, and she said Blanco.... 7 miles away. Well. We looked it up, and it is actually 22 miles away. So, we had no option except to settle for pizza. To be clear, we were there in the off season, and there is one little restaurant nearby that was closed for the season. However, had we known how limited the options were in advance, we could have brought in something to cook or grill for ourselves. However, did I mention the location?…

We spent the most we ever have per night to stay in 1 of their campers for 2 nights. Our camper was the oldest of about 6 by many years. No slide outs, small bed where you would need to crawl over your spouse to get up so we slept separate, very small table with a little bench to sit on. The camper was ran down, missing doors on cupboards, missing screen area on door, hot/cold shower. All the grills were missing propane tanks, no table on deck area, but most inconvenient was NO HEAT! It was 41 in the morning. I contacted the office 4 times asking assistance with the heat. They said someone would come up but no one did. Finally I grabbed a man cleaning rooms. He brought an electric heater and then pointed out we had an electric heater under the table. No info at check in that the unit required electric heaters to be plugged in. We slept in all of our warm clothes and coats the 2nd night. It was not what was advertised on their website. Location to the park was great. I feel the camper we stayed in should not be rented out period. Poor customer service but I do understand that basically we were staying in a remote location and I am sure finding staff is difficult. …

Stayed one night in one of the campers on site. Fairly pricey based on campers we've rented before that are parked on location. However, you are paying a premium for the convenience of the location. Check in was here's your key and that's about it. No instructions on how anything in the camper works. We were able to figure out everything except how to raise/lower the blinds. Some of the blinds were broken where they screw in to the wall. The floors were not well vacuumed. Our dog found leftover food on the floor including raisins which can be toxic to dogs unfortunately. The website states they serve pizzas Fri - Sun from 4-7. I called ahead to confirm and found out they no longer do this. I said it is listed on your website and she says yea we know. Well if you know shouldn't you update your website???? Had I not thought to call and verify we would have gotten there with no option for food and had to drive 30 min back to town. The rest of the property looked like it was a bit worn, but we did not see inside any of the lodge rooms. We could not get the camper to be a comfortable temperature. It was freezing when we first arrived with the air on full blast. We tried to warm it up and it got too hot. It was a constant back and forth. Like others have said the location cannot be beat! I would pay the premium price for a one night stay due to the convenience, but it's not worth more than one night! One day at this park is more than sufficient so a one nt stay is all you really need! If you have a dog be sure to ask about the National Bark Ranger program and badge when you visit the National Park. Many people don't know about this program.…

We stayed here so we didn’t have to drive back and forth between Alamosa and Great Sand Dunes. The room was comfortable, but a little on the worn side. We had a decent view of the dunes. The breakfast was adequate. They had waffle makers, cereal, granola bars. It was grab and go, since there was nowhere to sit.

Location: excellent. You can’t beat the views from your room and access to the park. Rooms: run down. Old toilet seats and towels. Noisy air conditioning over one of the beds which we needed because the smell of disinfectant was persistent and excessively strong. The screens have holes and ours didn’t close. Food: basic. Cereal, coffee, packaged muffins. You can make your own waffles. The room is very crowded with no place to sit. The Oasis restaurant within walking distance has decent meals. As indicated in other reviews, be prepared. The nearest access to other food or lodging is in Amorosa which is 30 miles away. Despite the above it does the trick. You are there to see an amazing natural treasure.

The view from the room is unique as you can see the dunes right from your bed. And that's it. The place is terribly overpriced for a super noisy fridge and AC, a massive hole in the mosquito net, a smell of burnt plastic a window that won't lock and no privacy at all with the neighbors when on the patio. Handy to visit the park but pricey

Very basic accommodations but location is great for easy access to Great Sand Dunes. The room was clean, check in last was very nice. Breakfast was a little awkward. No where to sit and eat. We basically stood eating. The cleaning guys were drinking beer and smoking weed... which was unexpected.
