It's conveniently located for vacations near Dewey or Rehoboth Beach. I was pretty happy with how easy it was to make multiple trips back and forth from the boardwalk and my hotel in one day. As for the facilities, you can tell this is an older building, but it's been maintained and kept clean, and the hotel staff were extremely kind and helpful. That bumps it up a rank in my opinion. Thank you to Regina especially!

Strong smell of mildew in both rooms. Dirty floors in both rooms (bottoms of bare feet black within minutes). Almost everything in room was old, dirty and in disrepair. I can't imagine where the positive reviews are coming from.

The Dunes delivered everything we ask for in a hotel - clean, comfortable bed, spacious, friendly employees. It is reasonably priced and offers some nice amenities such as a variety of snacks in the lobby. We definitely recommend it and would stay there again.

Staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. I brought three 13-year-old boys to have one last hoorah before school started. And it was perfectly convenient to the boardwalk, though you have to drive, and a Wawa was close by. I will say, getting to the beach was a bit more complicated than i thought and i should have asked for directions before heading out.Nevertheless, wonderful service, good price point, and i would absolutely return.

Beach visit
The location is great. It’s walking distance to the beach and many bars/restaurants at Dewey. The staff was friendly as well. It’s fine for one to two nights of stay. The area is safe as well!

The room itself was nice and clean! The staff was very nice and efficient .The bathroom smelled a little like mildew and was outdated as compared to the rest of the room. The walls between rooms and the outside were very thin. We could hear a party going on in the room above us all night and with the noise from the traffic outside it was not very restful. I’d recommend this place over the week but it was very noisy over the weekend.

The staff here was very very nice. The lady who seemed like the owner was exceptionally nice and welcoming. Our room though was kind of gross. There were 3 long black hairs still in the shower and black hair on the sheets. My family has blonde hair. Also the cleaners were a little weird. Anytime we came out of the elevator or had to pass them they wouldn't move. The one time we tried to get off elevator and there was a few of them and they literally wouldn't move. We even said excuse me. That happened several times. I probably wouldn't go back.

Everything was great except for the location of our room, being ground level and directly next to the office. A bit noisy with the coming and going of people and the main road there, but the ac unit helps to cover it. The room was clean. It was a 7 minute walk to the beach.

This was a very convenient place to stay for the one night we needed. The king size bed and pillows were very comfortable. Having a refrigerator and microwave in the room was nice. My only negative is it was a bit pricey just for a place to sleep with no view.

The property was clean and very accessible to downtown Dewey and even Rehoboth but our hair dryer was broken and an outlet wasn’t working and fell apart when I took out my plug. Good for 1 night.

Really convenient location for beach and coastal Highway. There is a lot of traffic in general, so that was helpful. Staff was kind and helpful, pretty chill overall. Not the cleanest space, but could definitely be worse. I would definitely bring my own disposable bedding/ sheets in the future. Overall it was a decent stay reflective of the price

Decent little motel. Nothing fancy. Plenty of parking. Easy check in/out. Not somewhere i would stay for more than a night or two, but if your just looking for a decent place to sleep over night, it’s perfect.

My wife and i love staying here because they allow dogs and our dog goes everywhere with us. It's also perfectly located between Rehoboth and Dewey/Delaware Seashore State Park. You can easily ride your bike into Rehoboth for dinner. The only thing that was negative about our stay this time is that the bathroom smelled mildew-y and you could see that the shower curtain liner was orange with mildew. Other than that, we always enjoy staying at The Dunes and will definitely stay again.

Although the building is clearly older the owners have taken great care in trying to give it an updated feel. I loved the pet friendliness they have which included treats in the office and a self use doggie wash!
