I recently stayed here on a visit to Great Sand Dunes NP. This was a really cute and quirky motel…read moreand I absolutely recommend it to anyone, but especially families with little kids. Pros: Super cute setting with the historic drive-in. Cute artwork throughout and the actor names outside each room is a lovely touch. Rooms were cleaner than I expected. This was close to an hour drive to GSDNP - however, it felt shorter and was a BEAUTIFUL drive. Close to quaint downtowns with good breweries and restaurant options. Super friendly people. When I woke up and left my room to grab breakfast, I heard this strange baaahhhh noise - and BAM! Right outside the room as far as I could see- SHEEP! Right after I grabbed my to-go breakfast, this tall rancher came out with a big cowboy hat and rope, followed by 2 herding dogs to herd the sheep. It was a sight! The kids were ecstatic. I want to say - whether intentional or not - it is SO NICE of the rancher to drive his sheep up so close. It was an unexpected surprise and it honestly bumped up my mood for the rest of the day. What an experience! Suffice to say - this is a great deal and I highly recommend. Cons: Due to COVID precautions there was no hot breakfast (see breakfast room photo below). I was disappointment because I made my reservation via phone to Corporate and they mentioned that a hot breakfast bar was included. More than that though- what a beautiful view! I am sad to have missed out on breakfast there. That said - there are picnic benches outside and so...I still had that great view :) The movies playing that night were a Bon Jovi concert and Scoob. I had zero interest in watching a drive-in Bon Jovi concert - so the front desk attendant mentioned that from my room I would be unable to see Scoob well, so she switched my room out. Unfortunately - all of the rooms are set for one screen option - so even though I could kind of see Scoob from an angle (I could see Bon Jovi concert dead on), from the room, my only audio was the concert. You can hear the other screen if you park your car downstairs and listen to 88.1. OR - bring a radio. It would be nice if they left radios in the rooms. I kind of think it would be fun to make the 2 options like a classic movie and a family movie. The soaps are on the wall in the shower in a box-like container. I pushed super hard and was able to get body wash and conditioner, but I think mine was out of shampoo. That - or I didn't push hard enough..? Unsure. You have to push HARD.

Lauren was very responsive via text answering all my questions. She texted me access info so when we arrived, which ended up later than we planned, we were able to go right into our room. The beds and pillows were quite comfortable. Enough that I was asking where she got the pillows. We all slept well. The pups got me up in the night and I took them for a short walk. The temp outside was cool, so I opened the window to let in some of the night air. The shower was interesting with the slanted floor. I liked the sliding barn door for the bathroom. The retro decor is inviting. I wish we could have stayed longer. They have a coffee shop in the Rodeo Mercantile. I discovered this after my husband and daughter had popped out to a local bakery to get us breakfast sandwiches. If we stay again, I'll for sure get a latte. This suited our needs.

I could hear every conversation in the room next door and since this room was near an exit and a stairwell, all I heard all night was door slamming. This was probably in some part due to the fact that the door wasn't flush to the door jamb. I could actually see out into the hallway the crack was so large. In the past, I would have highly recommended this hotel, but after this experience, I am hesitant to ever return from a cleanliness, noise or safety standpoint.

The Lodge is a rustic motel built in 1962, in a rural area and is charming. The room is clean and nicely decorated. There's a dog park at the back of the property and doggie biscuits at the front desk for furry friends. Had we wanted, we could have had a fire at the fire pit next to the dog park, after the office checked to see if it is a burn day, of course. The bathroom is clean, there is a coffee maker and coffee, a microwave and small fridge in the room. Dollar tree and small grocery down the street. A number of eateries as well close by. I think next time we come, we'll stay a few days to explore the rich history of the area and end the day with a fire under the stars!
