Centrally Located Hotel in Palm Springs
Easy checkin, room was spotless, comfortable beds. Great location to downtown PS. Entire property has been updated and they did a fantastic job. Only criticism: Need more than just 1 coffee pod for the coffee machine.

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.

Good location to downtown
The location to downtown Palm Springs is excellent, definitely walkable. The rooms are small, really just enough room for the beds. There’s no couch or chair so you really don’t want to spend any time in your room and also the room is very dark so I would suggest that women bring a lighted make up mirror Because it really is too dark to even apply make up at the bathroom mirror.

I liked the room layout, hard vinyl flooring, access to the pool and lounge area, snacks and beverages at the front desk in the morning. I loved that bikes were available for free. The pillow was a bit hard.

Love PS
The Dunes is a wonderful spot. Close to downtown, quiet the grounds are beautiful and we loved all the different seating areas and the way they kept the vintage Palm Springs feel. P.S. Don't tell anybody. 😁

Honesty
The building is older but it was clean, the staff were nice and it had everything we needed. This isn’t fancy but it checks all the boxes. Pool area was lovely the added games were a great touch.

Very pleased with my stay
I was very happy with my stay at the Dunes. It looked clean and modern, and it was evident that updates had been made recently. The pool area was excellent, with plenty of seating. The location was also great -- a short walk to downtown, and there was an excellent grocery store right across the street. My one minor complaint was that the workout room was small and limited in its offerings.

Somewhat satisfied
Very cool property and wonderful location to the downtown area. Our room was small and dated with an air conditioner that was very noisy. We did enjoy the comfortable bed. I would stay here again due to the fact of the location and they are dog friendly.
