What guests think

Dunes Inn Alamosa is an older, renovated downtown motel praised for very clean rooms, friendly service, and a standout cooked-to-order breakfast at the adjacent cafe, with walkable dining and easy access to Great Sand Dunes National Park.

Rooms are spacious and often quiet, with brick walls and refreshed furnishings that retain a vintage feel. Common drawbacks include firm or noisy beds and flat pillows, small scratchy towels, occasional traffic or neighbor noise, and spotty Wi‑Fi; a few guests noted dated touches, dim lighting, or minor bathroom and shower issues. Expect a budget-friendly base in downtown Alamosa.

The staff was super friendly, they texted us to make sure we were still coming in since we were arriving on the later side of check in times. Room was clean. Beds were comfortable. Wifi was a bit spotty but understandable for the location. There are lots of parking available and the room was a great value. Breakfast is next door and you get a good selection of options to choose from. Only complaint was we could hear our neighbours who had their TV all night and day but that is not the motel’s fault. Location is also close to Great Sand Dunes National Park.

Hotel room was not up to date as others have stated. Towels had stains and holes in them. The sheets didn’t look they were changed. Pillow case had stains also. On a good note, they did you give a voucher for breakfast next door which was very good. On more thing, they didn’t let me know they were not coming in to straighten out, which is ok but should have let me know about that.

The shower was pretty dirty. The shower curtain had a lot of brown stains splattered over where you would grab it to move the curtain. The tile and tub surround wasn't well maintained. Are you really saving any money by not having the fridge and microwave plugged in when guests arrive? Beds were nice. Room was clean otherwise. It was surprising to have an actual key at a hotel. It wasn't immediately apparent how to lock the door, but it's locked by default and can only be opened with the key.

Came with a couple of friends. The breakfast was good, and I liked being able to order different options and have freshly made food. The room was tidy, and the staff were friendly. The beds were a bit firm, and the bath towels were a bit thin and small, but overall, it was a good experience.
