We had a great stay at the Great Sand Dunes Lodge. It was clean, comfortable, and extremely convenient. The view of the dunes was great and we really enjoyed watching the hummingbirds and deer from our patio. Would definitely stay here again!

This basic motel is clean, well maintained, and conveniently located for a day or two at the GSDNP. We stayed in the deluxe room. It was spacious, nicely furnished with a microwave, fridge, grill, and large covered patio with beautiful views. For anyone who likes baths, you should know that there is no tub; just a nice sized shower. The... More

Stopped for the night at this nice lodge. Only 12 rooms. Nice, clean and great views of the Great Sand Dunes at the National Park. Lodge is inside the Park Entrance. Not much else around except for campgrounds. The Park is interesting and would recommend an overnight there. Great sunset and sunrise opportunities. Grills available. Hosts very informative and pleasant.

As someone else reviewed it, lucky that this is as friendly and well-kept place as it is given that it's really the only option in the area. The couple who run this motel-like lodge, keep it very clean and well-maintained. They are welcoming with information and assistance. Be aware that there really aren't any food options in the area until... More

Your choices for staying near Great Sand Dunes are limited: you can stay here, you can camp out, or you can drive 30 miles to Alamosa. We were lucky to get a reservation here at the lodge, the first week of the season that it's open. I expected it to be rustic, based on the limited information given at its... More

The location is perfect for those who want to dodge into the park for dawn or sunset photography. The view from our patio alone was great. Nice spacious room, absolutely the cleanest place we've ever seen. We loved this place. I would stay here again.

This is the only hotel within miles of the Great Sand Dunes National Park, which means, if you want to stay near the dunes, you'll have to stay here. Fortunately for everyone though, the property is wonderful. The rooms are comfortable and clean (no sand!), though no frills. Every room has a sliding glass door that walks out onto a... More

This is the only show in town if you plan to visit SDNP. Benefits were sunset view, proximity to entry to SDNP, wildlife around, open spacious country all around motel w/ moutains in backyard and valley in front yard, indoor pool. The sunset viewing was our favorite. Nice patio outside room. Wife thought the beds were on the cheap side... More

Since it is the only hotel close to the sand dunes I was worried it would not be nice however, i was pleasantly surprised. It is family run, clean and a great location. If you want a refrigerator upgrade the room and you will also get a grill outside to use and larger patio.

This is the only motel within maybe 30 miles of the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado. I wasn't sure about what we would find since it's the only game in town, but we were very happy with the motel and the cafe (the only place to eat within 30 miles). The hotel is perfectly situated so every porch faces the... More
