Beautiful place to see sunset and close proximity to great sand dunes park. Decent grab and go breakfast. Sleds for rent for sand dunes. Bring food and water unless you want to drive 35-40 min away. Convient store on property with limited provisions. Only restaurant was closed for season-not advertised closing when made booking. Lady that checked us in was not overly friendly

Stay at your own risk
I was excited about staying in the geo dome while visiting the sand dunes. However, I guess my expectations were too high. First, we arrived and it was difficult to find the office. I was called earlier that day and told my card was declined (no reason it should have been) then when we arrived at the dome it had an intense smell. I didn’t know what the smell was and called the front desk and was told it was probably plastic. We thought about staying elsewhere but it was already 8pm and we were very tired. We stayed the one night at the geodome, but never again! I couldn’t sleep smelling plastic!!

This is an old motel which has been renovated and the decor improved. Breakfast is grab and go which was adequate for our needs. Best thing about this place is it’s proximity to the National Park.

Simple & basic but after a day on the dunes the AC, Hot Shower, King size bed and Cable TV was a godsend. They are the only hotel room within 45 minutes drive so it’s not like they are competing for business with anyone. 5 min to the dunes. The only restaurant within 45 minutes drive is a minute away. While we were there they closed early due to a water problem and we were stuck with nothing short of an hour and a half round trip drive. Fortunately we had some leftover road food. They were open the next morning and it was fine. Diner grade. The lodge was fine in all regards. Consider bringing a towel. Their tiny, white, scratchy, bleached to death towels need an upgrade.

Staff were very friendly. Room was clean apart from the thousands of dead insects in the drawers, in the slider rails, corners and on the two insect strips hanging in the room. Room would benefit from a screen slider so people could open up the window at night without the entire deserts bugs coming in. (Dead were there when I arrived) pretty hard to swallow a $300 bill for one night with all the dead bugs in the room. Loved the hummingbirds

Views are breathtaking, especially sunset.
Staff is so kind, helpful and professional.
Room is “basic,” but clean and has everything you need. Beds are comfortable.
