The towels were small and scratchy. Pillows were flat and cheap. Internet was weak or nonexistent. TV in the one room never did work right. Air conditioners in both rooms were loud. Had to turn one off on the second night because it was so loud. Positive about it was Staff did there best to accommodate when they could. They were helpful and friendly. Rate it 2 1/2 stars.

Basic motel. No dining facilities and very few dining options around the area. The public beach is right in front of the property. But in order to be in a safe zone to swim, you should go to the boardwalk area - 15 mins walk.

I needed some family time. This was my 10 year old son's first time away from home. The Dunes was perfect for our needs. We will be looking forward to next summers stay. Maybe a weekend here and there as well

Easy walk to the boardwalk. Large pool and patio area. Room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Initially the A/C in the room didn't work. Staff immediately addressed and reassigned the room. Problem solved. Very kind, helpful and friendly front desk staff. A great place to stay in Point Pleasant!

Last minute decision to take a trip and stay for the weekend - I was happy there was a room available. The pictures on the website are very deceiving, quite honestly I thought it was closed down upon driving up. The location itself is quiet, being a couple blocks away from the boardwalk and the Lake of Lillies was right behind it. They do offer off-street parking. The room was VERY dated. Beds, also dated, were not comfortable and very old. The pillows are worn out and only an inch thick...not great for sleep, wish I brought my own. TV channel couldnt be changed with the remote from the bed, had to stand within 3' of the TV to change the channel. Room didnt have a closet to hang anything. Also did not have a coffee maker in the room or a hair dryer. Air Condition kept the room very cool. Overall, wouldn't book there if the trip was planned and wouldnt stay there again.

Our stay had its good and had its bad. While we loved the location, pool and how comfortable the beds were we were very disappointed in the over all condition of our room. The walls are filthy, the floors were no different. The furniture in our room (room 8) was VERY weathered. The tv didn’t work. The upkeep on this place isn’t great. When adjusting the temp on the a/c the vent was COVERED in mold. Other rooms did seem to be in better condition but room 8 is in dire need of TLC.
