Just Okay

Hotel looks nice with the newish makeover. Clean and updated. Still just a really large motel and not architecturally interesting like some of the small MCM motels in PS. Negatives: Room wasn’t ready at 3:00 check in, and then when we were told it was ready we went upstairs to a housekeep still working in the room and had to wait outside on the balcony with our luggage for another 20 minutes until it was really finished. I’m also not a big fan of the key code door locks - it’s a pain. Granted that it’s a busy PS week with both Modernism and IBC going on, but still. It really feels like they’re still trying to figure it out at The Dunes. Hopefully they do.

Room was clean. Outside areas were beautiful and well maintained. The only complaint was that you can hear people talking in the rooms next door.

Room is dark without adequate lighting. Room smelled so strongly of cleaning solution it took 20 minutes to air before safe to enter. Room color was painted mauve and not attractive. The remodel was done but did not justify the huge hike in price and did not feel modern and fresh.

Great location, 1 block away from downtown Palm Springs. Literally hundreds of restaurants and shops and attractions within a very short walking distance. Safe and friendly town. Quiet hotel with comfy beds and fluffy white linens. Great staff at front desk who are attentive and respond immediately to any requests.

This is a cute, modern motel best suited to families looking for a good value and something for everyone. The decor is recently redone and there are lots of vibrant indoor and outdoor lounging spaces and active areas. Very comfy bed, pretty shower area and finishes, and mid-century-inspired touches. On the so-so side: the "Grab & Go" amenity is just a vending machine, and in my book, this is motel not a hotel. Although just a street over from the main, higher-end shopping area, this area of town is still a work in progress, so a solo woman traveler, I might not choose again. Great staff and a wonderful, secure place to store your luggage before and after checkout.

The Dunes had everything we needed for our five day stay. Staff were super friendly and welcoming and all staff were friendly and professional during our stay. Rooms were basic, but incredibly clean - beds were comfortable and the hotel was quiet (even though you are in the middle of downtown Palm Springs). Pool area was fabulous - lots of sun loungers and immaculately clean. We particularly appreciated the many seating areas throughout the hotel.

Beautiful mid-century modern hotel

What a wonderful experience. The hotel has a mid century modern motel-style design, with with a lot of clean lines, flat planes, large glass windows, and a strong connection between the indoor and the outdoor spaces. We love the small touches like the 1950s style Frigidaire refrigerators in each of the rooms, the bright colored paint and wallpaper, and the Kohler plumbing fixtures in the sink and shower. The staff were incredibly friendly and provided us with a lot of good recommendations for food in the area. Free-on-site parking is plentiful and you’re just about a block away from all of the main downtown businesses, restaurants, and bars. I highly recommend this hotel and will be staying here again when we’re back in Palm Springs.

Don't be fooled by the exotic pictures; this is a basic motel like a Motel 6. The pool area is quite nice, but otherwise there are basically no facilities. Even getting a decent cup of coffee when you wake up means getting dressed and driving to a coffee shop. Yes, there's a couple of restaurants nearby, but the proper downtown where you can get breakfast, etc, is a 10 minute walk (which you probably wouldn't want to do in the summer here.) Staff are friendly when they're around, but the motel seems to operate of shoestring staffing.
