Del Norte Vacations from $849

If you like historic hotels with character, this is the place for you. It was truly a grand old hotel that still retains things like an elevator with a gate door, old fashioned cash registers, and beautiful wood carved furniture. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was good. That said, the hotel's glory days are clearly behind it and it is showing it's age, so if you like "new and shiny" this may not be the place for you.

Hot tub was broken and I paid for a s’mores package that was non-existent.

The room was ver nice and clean. I would recommend taking a blanket cause the bedding is thin. In the morning the tv signal went out so no tv. I went to breakfast the coffee was ice cold, the fruit was old bruised and wrinkly, I couldn’t eat the eggs they were gray. I made the waffles and they were good but the apple juice was starting to ferment. Couldn’t drink it.. they need some breakfast food help! The location is good! I would stay there again but will pass on the breakfast. There is an ihop next door!

Staff had not cleaned upstairs rooms so got first floor room. Property is dated. Would not mind aside from inflated price.

The best thing about the lodge is its proximity to Great Sand Dunes National Park. It is by far the lodging closest to the park. Scenery is gorgeous. There are very few dining options near the lodge. Pizza was available for purchase from the lodge office until 6 or 7pm.
