As close as you can get to Great Dunes. Surprising breakfast bar for a motel has a waffle machine. Motel rents sand sleds and store at the bottom of the drive rents sand boards.

I booked a GS Dome, thinking there was a bathroom inside the dome to use which there was not, and apparently there were no other rooms available, even though there were empty spaces in the middle of the night in front of several rooms, they put me in a travel trailer that they charge

Location, Location, Location Ssys it All

Location is everything in this case. Sitting right on the edge of the Great Sand Dunes National Park, this place offers the closest view of the dunes and mountains from the room’s patio. Other than camping in the park, this is the only good option. We loved sitting on the patio with a glass of wine watching the sunset as it cast shadows in the dunes. The room was comfortable and clean. Sad to say the only dinner option was a cheese Papa Murphy’s pizza to take back to our room. Oh well, we weren’t going to drive a long way to a restaurant somewhere. Breakfast was included: adequate choices of grab and go items - muffins, toasted bagel, hard boiled eggs, make your own waffles, yogurt, coffee, juice. Again we sat on the patio watching the dunes change as the sun rose. We had a great time here!

If you’re looking to be close to Great sand Dunes NP this is as close as you can get without actually being on the dunes, It’s only a 5min drive. We stayed in a Geo Dome, which was clean and also had a pretty comfortable bed. The Oasis also has really good food as well, I can’t speak to lunch but the breakfast was really great. All in all if you’re visiting the park this is the only place you should consider staying it will make your trip more enjoyable.

Great Location!

Very nice staff. Really clean dome and bathroom. I didnt love going out at 4am to use the restroom, but I did enjoy seeing all the stars I couldn't see earlier due to cloud cover. Tried the geodome since it was the only place i could find right outside the national park that was reasonably priced. Comfy bed. Breakfast layout was wonderful!

We stayed in the geodesic dome, it’s more comfortable than expected. Can’t beat the view, the beautiful sand dunes is right outside the dome. The staff were very friendly, having grab and go breakfast was convenient

You pay for the view and it is worth it. The rooms are clean but outdated. We had tons of live bugs in the room and asked for a flyswatter. They gave us Raid, which worked but was not optimum. Location is great near the park. We loved the hummingbirds and the star views at night.

We needed a hotel near Great Sand Dunes National Park. This is the only one for 30 miles so price per night reflects that. Room was clean had great view of the dunes from walkout patio. Breakfast is grab and go, but doesn't open until 730 am which is not good if you are trying to leave early for the park. We arrived back to hotel from park about 8 pm on Friday night and restaurant was closed. Good thing we had food with us.

Great stay in the Geodesik Dome

We stayed in one of the Geodesik domes and it was so fun. The inside walls are padded which makes in so peaceful. The windows in the dome make it so it’s not claustrophobic. It rained during the night and the sound of the rain on the dome was so relaxing, we slept great. The bathrooms were nearby and they were very clean and accommodating. This is a great location for visiting the sand dunes. What a great national park! Really nice visitors center with very nice staff.

No better place to stay at this national park. It is close to the dunes, very clean, and comfortable. Easy park, easy unload/load from your vehicle to and from your room. Be sure to bring something to eat. Options are very limited. But there is a fridge and microwave in the lodge rooms. I’d send my friends here. Highly recommend.

We stayed in one of the airstream trailers and it was awful. The trailer was in bad condition and disrepair. The ceiling vent was broken so the cold air came in all night. The AC/heater blew directly over the bed and blew cold air for a few moments before warming up. WORST OF ALL, THERE WAS SOME KIND OF ANIMALS, PROBABLY RATS, WHO WERE RUNNING AROUND AND SCRATCHING ALL NIGHT!!
