Dunes Hotel- an unexpected treat

The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the location was within easy walking distance to stores and dining spots. The hotel was clean and quiet and had a great pool area which the family enjoyed every day. We also used the free bikes and spent an afternoon exploring the area. We would stay there again.

I’m a frequent traveler and this was below my standards. The air conditioning didn’t go below 72 and was loud causing disrupted sleep all night. The sheets were scratchy, definitely not soft. 3 out of 4 staffers we encountered need an attitude adjustments and better customer service. The gal at the front desk, Sunday, April 6 at noon was great. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice.

Our room wasn’t ready after 4pm so we ended up in the room for disabled. The shower was a joke, a dirty towel was hanging on the ring by the sink. The property looked nice but we honestly didn’t use any of the facilities.

Great location in downtown area. Newly renovated, so I was pleased how nice it looked for a 2 1/2 star property. The pool area was nice and there was new outdoor games area. No breakfast, but there was a room with tables/chairs and microwave. The lobby was spacious and modern. The room had an updated bathroom. Beds were fine. Cons: the hotel was fully booked on Saturday night and the parking lot was full. I was able to park at adjoining restaurant spot, but had to leave before it opened. Also, the elevator stopped working on our second day and continued out of service for the whole stay. The other elevator was a loooooong walk from our room, for old ladies. But in general I recommend this hotel.

It was ok, but wouldn’t stay here again. The floors were dirty, the fridge only worked in spurts, and housekeeping was inconsistent. The pool was great though!
