Nice little motel.

The room was just as it said it was. Double beds, Internet, TV. The shower and toilet were separate from the double sink which was great. The shower was a little quirky to get the temp not burning or freezing due to a separate Cold and hot knob. Breakfast was in the restaurant connected to the hotel and it was good.

The free breakfast isn't the best and orange juice is baby small. Biscuit and gravy is just that, ONE biscuit. Bacon wasn't all the way cooked. We topped the waitress and chose to eat somewhere else. Room was clean but mattress was super noisy and worn out.

Run on a Shoestring

So so for the price. I am not fond of checking into a room to find appliances unplugged. Obviously an effort to save money. Cheap bed and mattress. Breakfast in an adjoining restaurant. Note in advance that only one breakfast coupon per guest is allowed. Yes, we get it!

I liked the breakfast vouchers that the Inn gave us to go next door to an actual restaurant, could choose from a menu and dine in or call ahead and carry out.

Great value in Alamosa.

This is a great value in the San Luis Valley. I have stayed here several times. The rooms are spotless, very comfortable, and quiet. The breakfast included with the room at the restaurant next door is a great way to start the day. The service at the restaurant is very good too.

The Dunes Inn isn't glamorous but I wasn't expecting that. It was clean and efficient though. I was sick during my stay and alone so I wish that they offered room service. I had to go out into the snow to get the free breakfast they offer at a close by restaurant. I called to see if they could deliver it but the answer was no.
