The room was overpriced for what it was. I think if it cost $100 or less per night, it would have been okay.

The sheets on the bed had stains. The outside, by the door, smelled like pee. The bathroom smelled like mold. It seems they tried to do a renovation, but did it with cheap labor and materials so that things were crooked or cracked or just looked weird. The tiles in the bathroom weren't installed well, so water was getting into cracks - hence the mold smell.

It was probably one of the worst hotels I've stayed in for the cost.

I checked in and was given a key to a room. When I entered the room, I noticed a very strong and unpleasant odor. I went back down to the front desk and asked for another room. I was given the key to the room next door to the first, and it had the same unpleasant odor. The man who was at the front desk came up to check the first room as I was entering the second room, and when I came back out of the room, he said that the room was ok, it was just the cleaning product that they used. I told him that I would not be able to stay in a room with such an unpleasant smell. They refused to refund my money.

Although the property was located away from the freeway, the main street in front of the property was very busy with traffic all night. Additionally, the windows are not sealed well, so much of that traffic noise makes its way into the room.

I told him that I would not be able to stay in a room with such an unpleasant smell. He told me that since I had booked through Expedia, I would have to contact them for a refund. I contacted Expedia, they reached out to The Dunes, and they refused to issue a refund because they claimed that the room was ok. I had to open a dispute with my credit card company.

I did not use the room(s) at all. It would have cost The Dunes nothing to issue a refund and I would have been satisfied. Instead, they have cost me time and effort in attempting to get a refund for a room that smelled too awful to stay in. Would not recommend, there are plenty of other motels in Bend that have courteous and helpful staff.

This was an okay place to stay for one night. The rooms were very small and we had a hard time finding a spot for our luggage and a place to lay stuff out. Walls were thinner and it was on a busy street - but leaving AC/fan running all night drowned it out. I just felt the price was exorbitant and a little ridiculous. I know it’s “the season” but to pay these prices for a small motor motel with no amenities is nothing short of price gouging.

Staff was friendly and helpful, though honestly, we didn't need for anything and didn't have to make much use of their services. The room was immaculate. It is an older motel, so there is natural wear and tear, but you can tell that they take great care of the property and have made improvements (ample outlets and places to plug in chargers easily within reach, updated smart tvs with loads of channels/apps, environmentally sensitive toiletries, ambient lighting). We were put in a room on the second floor facing away from traffic, which was great. Street noise was not an issue. You can hear other motel occupants if they are being particularly loud. I recommend ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise. The property is at the intersection of two busy streets - I recommend entering/exiting the parking lot from the quieter side street to the west of the lot.

The room was clean. There was no safety bar however to help keep the window from opening too far which would have been useful on the warm night we had. And the room was very noisy with the street noise until it quieted down after midnight.

We have stayed at the Dunes several times & like the room, staff & location. The updates are very nice.

A couple of points though... its okay if the beds aren't made or changed but the bathroom should be cleaned everyday(wasn't), the floors should be mopped daily(weren't) & it would be a good idea to put hooks in sink area for the hand towel & hooks to hang towels and/or clothes in the bathroom. The lack of a door between the toilet & sink area was weird. The metal frames around the beds sounded like thunder when we would accidently hit them with our feet.

Again, we like the hotel & will consider staying there again. These are suggestions for your future guests.

Room was not ready at check-in time, though the front desk person was very apologetic about it. Room was in decent condition, but not great. Bathroom door (slider) wouldn't stay shut, the mini-fridge barely worked, the coffee maker leaked everywhere, and the shower would cycle back and forth between scalding and ice cold based on water usage elsewhere in the building. Scalded my wife's feet pretty good. Because the curtains for the front window hang over the AC unit, the cold air blows up and gets trapped in the curtains if they're closed, which makes the unit cycle on and off pretty rapidly. Overall not great, but we were able to sleep reasonably well.

The size was nice as well as tge fridge and micrwave. Coffee maker and supplies would be better in the counter by the sink so the desk can be used.
The loud ticking clock was disruptive and I found some short black hairs on the side of the bed and under the pillows the next morning when staightening the bedding. The pillow are very well used and old. Totally flat and uncomfortable so bring your own. The toilet seat was loose and slid when used. It would be nice if the walkway lights where on a dimmer for sleep. Its hard to face the window and not get disturbed with the light flooding in around the curtains. The ice machine is still down even though i saw a review over 6 months ago it was broken. Ice is super nice to have and it should be available.
The coffee maker takes up the desk space so not usable for work. The other chairs and table i used but not very workable space.
Better than some I have stayed and worse than others all in about same price range.
