Obviously, this was not a five star hotel but I had no complaints. So it got a five star from me as far as everything goes.

Well, the parking is a little tight, but I don’t think it’s worth being upset over that and not giving five stars. I would stay here again, and I would recommend this place.

Our stay was decent, but I wouldn't go here again. If you just want to arrive late at night for a bed and a shower, and leave first thing in the morning, I guess it works. It's clean enough. And it has free parking. But ... the free WiFi only worked in the hallway, not in our room, which meant no work could be properly followed up on or accomplished (why pay for free WiFi when you have to end up using your own data after all?). Also no coffee in the room, no coffee at the reception either. They do have a vending machine downstairs that ... (1) only takes cash ... and (2) the coffee is so piping hot I burnt my fingers trying to hold the cups to get them back to our room on the 3rd floor.
I only stayed here because it was in walking distance from a meeting I had to attend. Next time I will happily stay further away and pay for an Uber instead.

Was pretty good, just had a couple small things. The microwaves are near the pool instead of the rooms which isn't a big deal but was a little annoying when we wanted to hear up food since we needed to leave and walk downstairs to get to it. Everything was relatively clean although last night we were there we found a few ants. It is summer though so it's to be expected. Lastly the beds were just a little too firm for us. There was also an annoying thing with the tvs being smart tvs where every day, multiple times, we got people trying to sign into airplay on our TV. But that's not really an issue with the hotel itself and more an issue of people selecting the wrong TV to try to sign into. However idk how the sign in stuff is set up so maybe they could have named the TV via room number? Not really sure. They also only gave us 1 key which again isn't a big deal as we only needed one, but I don't think I've ever been to a hotel that only gives 1. Plus it was a physical key as opposed to a card which I'm used to but again, not a big deal. All the issues here are pretty minor annoyances when it could have been big things like a dirty room or a bug infestation or something so it's hard to really ding the place for those issues which is why I'm going with 4 stars out of 5. It overall was a good stay. I know it'll be in consideration next time we look for a hotel in that area.

Adequate and affordable motel style accommodations in a nice area. Free easy parking a plus. Pool and pool area was nice. Very quiet and relaxing stay. Towels were pretty awful but that is the norm at less expensive properties.
If you're looking for updated, modern rooms, look elsewhere. Overall I was satisfied and I thought it was pretty good for a short stay.

I've had bad luck with this motel on more than one occasion. They are VERY strict about a lot of things that I've never had to deal with before. Like how I paid the deposit, or how I transported my luggage. To be Frank, I got the feeling they were making up policies to keep me from being able to stay there, more than once I've been turned away for petty, judgemental reasons. They've refused me the room AND to return the money i'd already paid for it. I have very little good things to say about a hotel thatll leave me in street over peccodillos without refunding my $. It wasn't well maintained, & the staff is rude. I gave it three stars, that's being nice. If you dress different or look homeless, DONT EXPECT THEM TO HONOR ANY RESERVATIONS YOU MAKE, whether directly through them or an external site. It's a cute 50's type building, but the staff is awful and decietful. How can you refuse someone service but not give their money back? I feel like they overuse their \"right to not serve\". I've walked long and far to that motel for a room only to be turned away over something totally superficial. I'm sorry. It may be an aight place in terms of the neighborhood and the architecture? I can't give thumbs up to a business that has repeatedly denied me service and refused to give me back the money id already paid. If your a veteran, old man, dig dingy old motels, & DON'T likee talking to other people, this place is for you.

Good location. Safe.

I stayed in an Accessible Room and the room was very spacious and the bathroom was huge. The room itself was clean when I arrived and staff cleaned it everyday which is nice since nowadays other properties only clean every other day or upon request. New towels everyday. I was impressed.

The free onsite parking was also nice. There is a security guard ALWAYS watching the parking lot and the property, which is very good.

There were landscapers maintaining and cleaning the property. There is a pool, kids having fun. It’s family friendly. The historic Ebell Wilshire Theater is the next street over, walking distance for sure, just a few hundred feet. Korea Town is a couple streets down. Lots of really good food choices nearby.

The guy in the front desk was cool, check in and check out were smooth. The keys are actual keys, not cards. I guess that’s all I have to say, the whole experience was nice. I recommend.

We stayed here for 8 days and we felt at home. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is an older version of an Inn where you actually use a key (not a card), so it gave me that quaint vibe. Just a small hiccup was when they gave me a wrong room when I checked in… but this quickly and easily resolved. We got the room with kitchen, and we were very happy with the room. I celebrated my birthday here at the pool and my family just had a beautiful time together. We utilized the laundry with no problem. The parking lot was decent. Overall, highly recommended!

We spent 2 nights at Dunes hotel in L.A. It was very close to BLS International office were we had an appointment to get our schengen visa to Europe. We booked the standard room which it was nice with wood floors, white bedding, white clean towels etc. Dunes inn is not fancy, actually we got a real key instead of a card key but it is a descent, simple and clean place to sleep in.
Cons... the AC was noisy which its not a big deal to me.

Overall it met my expectations.
Ill stay here again.

There is a coffee vending machine near the pool, and a microwave. Pretty bare bones. Also the parking spaces are very narrow and indeed someone nicked my car when parking and left no note (gee thanks). Some rooms are right next to the pool, however the do close it at a reasonable time. Otherwise it felt generally safe, the front desk folks were good. I didn't see a lot of food places nearby. I drove further into Ktown for some coffee on my way out. It was respectfully quite on a Friday night.

The main problem I had was that there wasn't much of a channel selection on the tv. The tv kept saying there was no internet connection and the hotel wifi didnt show up as an option to connect to. So we couldnt watch any better channels and we couldnt use any of the apps on the tv (netflix, youtube, hulu) which was disappointing :/ But overall a good stay.

I read many reviews and they were all positive. That’s one of the reasons I booked this hotel.
While they said the place was clean, that’s correct. No problems with cleanliness, price, check in or location.
The problem was that the room had a weird smell. It was rather chilly that night so I turned on the airco, which also worked as a heating device. It worked but the noise was as if there was a plane flying through the room every time the airco kicked in. There was als quite a bit of street noise. The location was ok though, regarding safety.

I love the Dunes because it’s usually quiet and safe. The location is excellent from any point I need to go.
One thing that bothers me is that there are NO side lamps next to the beds. Only glaring lights from the ceilings. You used to have side lamps which gave the rooms a nice ambiance. Makes the rooms look like a YMCA without them. Also, need to upgrade your towels. The quality is pretty awful and cheapens the room. Other than that, it’s amazing. I’ve been staying there for almost 30 years off and on.
