Recommended Trip type: All Others "Unexpected surprise"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 23, 2010

After getting a good deal on the resort I was wondering what was up. How could a place this good be so cheap? Well it was worth it. Check-in was quick and to the point. They were very friendly and gave additional info based off my questions of the area. The complex and room are a bit older but are in great shape overall. Upon getting into my room there was a puddle of water next to the back door (due to the days heavy and windy rain). They quickly sent someone over to clean it up and left a few extra towels just in case. We never needed them. It was a very relaxing place to stay and the place was peaceful, like being home and getting to relax. A place like this is hard to find while traveling.

WOW! What a pleasant surprise! We were traveling and dog tired. When we walked up to the door of this room we were absolutely blown away! I wish my bedroom at home was this nice! This room has a kitchenette that even includes a dishwasher! There's a dining table, flat screen TV with a comfy couch, writing desk with complimentary internet, and a King sized bed with down pillows and down comforter. It was so comfortable that I passed out the minute my head melted into the pillow. Also, each room had it's own patio with a table and private Bar-b-que grill! It is located inside the gates of a golf and country club with a security entrance. Even though it was confusing to find from the freeway, it was WELL worth the effort. We will definitely be staying there again-hopefully soon!

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 12, 2009

From the outside and when first entering the room this is a very nice hotel/motel style apartment. However, this is the 3rd time I have stayed here, and all 3 times I had to wait while staff was out, to check in or to check out. I was there during "normal hours" but there is not such a thing with this resort. During the most recent stay, I smelled what seemed to be a floral pesticide in the bathroom, not until I saw small roaches in the shower 2 days in a row did I realize they have an issue. I hope they take care of this soon.

Limited management to assist with late check-in or problems that occur after hours. My room upon first sight was great, however, as I needed to use some of the amenities they were not available. DVD player not working, mcrowave not working and no soap for the dishwasher or even to wash dishes in a sink.The beautiful BBQ on the patio didn't work either. The neighbors could be heard as though they were in the same room. It is in a great setting and is very intimate, I would stay again if everything gets fixed.

Reviewed by Sriram of Irvine on Aug 6, 2009

We stayed at the dunes for two days, at their Studio Unit. The Hotel is exceptionally nice for the price we paid. We were there during August 2009, and the weather was really hot and dry. As such there are not much amenities outside your room. But the room itself is really comfortable. The studio has a huge king size bed and a sofa bed, a nice table, microwave and a fridge. There is a grill outside. The outside patio facing the pool is really nice and a good place to hangout when the weather is nice. The place is very private and is adjacent to the The Dunes Community and golf course. In about a mile, there is a Ralphs, Albertsons and Walgreens. The intersection is Washington and 42nd avenue. However, this place is quite a ways from the Aerial Tramway.

The room's decor was updated, clean and had plenty of usable space for relaxing, snacking or working on our computer at the desk. Our very favorite part was the pool area, which is charming, quiet and was never crowded.

I must say my boyfriend and I were very pleased with this hotel. We chose it based on price, and figured it will give us a place to sleep and thats all we really need it for. When we got there we felt a little out of place because it seemed the people were generally older (we are 23) and felt a little out of place, but none the less the front desk girls were very sweet and the people seemed nice. The location is a little bit of a drive from most places, but not that bad. Still worth it. When we got to the room, we were surprised at how nice it was! Very clean room, nice and modern. There was a very nice microwave, dishwasher, mini fridge. Beautiful bathroom. But the best part was the patio with the BBQ! We enjoyed that probably the most. My only downfalls to the room is no windows and thin walls. Between the rooms there are the shared doors for when you know your neighbor, but I could hear our neighbors talking. Not loud talking, normal. But for the most part it was quiet and peaceful, no kids. Lastly, the patio wasn't exactly private. Ours was right by the gate so EVERYONE walked by us. Perfect if you are staying with a group. But hey, the price was just right so it was still worth it. The pool was heated and the perfect temperature, even at night. The times were from 8 to 8 which I thought was a little disappointing, I was hoping it would be later. But we were out there until later and no one said anything. But we were being quiet. Even some of the other people staying there that we were talking to while relaxing in the jacuzzi agreed, this place exceeded our expectations. So much that we decided to stay another night.

The staf was friendly and helpful upon check-in and we were surprised as the evening we arrived they had free drinks and appetizers as well as Frank Sinatra singing at the pool. The rooms are nicely decorated and very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay!

The not so good news: The first room that we were put in had a number of little maintenance issues- including dishwasher not working, outlets broken (so neither bedside light turned on until we found other outlets). It also seems that the walls are very thin and unfortunately we had a neighbor who played music until 3am. I'm not even sure it was that loud, but the sound was right next to the wall with our bed on the other side so I could feel the bass all night long. The front desk is only open until 8pm so there wasn't much we could do about it. The good news: The manager at the front desk upgraded us to a better room for the following night and it was very quiet and peaceful. The rooms are nice in general- very modern, sleek, etc. Service is very friendly and great. So not sure if we just got a bad room or if what...would be open to trying them again as location and resort are great!

We went to Cabazon outlet which is between the Dunes and home and had a fun shopping day. We cooked all our food in the room to save $ for shopping. We went to The Living Desert Zoo which is only 20 minutes away from the Dunes. The Zoo is awesome. It only costs $12.50/per adult. The nearby zoo had aviarys (walk in bird cages), a baby giraffe, and many other animals. We are going to return to the Dunes again as it is a perfect place to rest and enjoy a break from work.

Reviewed by H of Thousand Oaks on Jan 3, 2009

We were disappointed to hear upon checking in that this resort will be changing to an ownership setup in the future. We have always enjoyed the privacy, quiet and service we have received at the Dunes. We did notice that the condition of the room was not as detail oriented as in the past, I presume because of the pending changes. We would continue to visit the Dunes if it were still possible in the future. An outstanding value if you want a quiet, secure place to stay and don't need a lot of amenities.

To be honest with you, because of the low price of the rooms i really didn't expect much. I just really wanted a place to stay. However when i got in the room, i was blown away. Out of all the hotels i've stayed at in this area, this would most definitely be the best. The quality of the place far exceeds the quality it should be for it's price. Service is great and I will definitely be coming back.
