Traveling on a 2-3 week motorcycle adventure I just needed a clean, quiet & comfortable place to lay my head, one which wouldn’t break the bank. Online reservations are always somewhat of a shot in the dark, but the Dunes Inn seemed like it would fit the bill. Check-in was quick (an actual KEY, not card - interesting), parking immediate and in mere minutes I was unloaded and relaxing in my nice room.
I did, however, run into a few moments of confusion with amenities. For one, the wall light switch appeared to do nothing, but I eventually found WHICH wall light it was meant for, one that ALSO had a switch on it (which was OFF). Then I addressed the refrigerator, the door was wide open, but not running. After a moments research, I found both the fridge and microwave were not plugged in to a receptacle (not certain why) so doing so solved that problem.
Next morning, I took the nifty coupon I’d been given at check-in and went looking for the restaurant where I would be receiving a free breakfast. Both myself and another patron walked right past it – it was in essence part of the same building as the hotel office – but eventually turned back and found it. I have to admit, I didn’t expect much, but was nicely surprised at the tastiness of the breakfast I received.
I feel certain if I ever pass through Alamosa again I will utilize the Dunes Inn as my home away from home.
