Great choice!

Great affordable hotel. Everything was well done. No breakfast but fridge and coffee maker in the room so we just did cereal and that worked great. Clearn and updated property that was so charming and great pool with games like cornhole that my kid and I enjoyed. Staff was responsive and super helpful with anything needed. Would definitely stay here again.

Funky Elegance

For what I paid, I expected a rundown, depressing experience. I couldn't have been more wrong. The Dunes is old, but is in great shape and it's clear the owners and staff take pride in keeping it up. This hotel is a delight with lots of great features like a game room, pool and workout room. It is funky and cool and well-placed for an easy walk to the downtown area. I will be happy when I can visit again.

Everyone who works there was so nice and helpful. The keyless door entry was nice and easier than using a key card. We basically had the whole place to ourselves when at the pool:)

Remodeled hotel. Comfortable but not very dog friendly even though they allow pets. The front desk couldn’t tell me where on the property to walk my dog. It was an ok place for one night on the road but I would have been disappointed if I was staying there for a vacation in Palm Springs. Just an ok place.

Best new hotel in Palm Springs

Our stay was so special. I let them know it was my honeymoon and the wonderful Paulina upgraded us to a superior room that was absolutely perfect for our needs - we were both close to the pet area, which our two dogs loved, and the pool. The grounds are immaculate and stylish, decor was adorable, and the bed was so comfortable. We had everything we needed, from toiletries to the fridge and kitchenette. There was plenty of space for our puppies and they had a great time too! The property is fully fenced for additional peace of mind. Thank you so much to Paulina for the thoughtfulness and making our weekend so memorable.
