Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The new renovations were a bonus - and a very comfortable bed. Rude guests making noise with their children and a party truck at 11pm ruined the calm and quiet accommodations - but this wasn't the fault of the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful upon check in. I would encourage travelers to consider the Dune Surfer Inn if they are in the area.

Definitely a diamond in the rough. Came to hit the dunes and enjoy the beach so we only really slept in the room. The staff was courteous, the room was clean, and we got what we expected. Big thanks for accommodating a downstairs room!

Check in was a breeze with Josh. They’ve done a great job remodeling very comfortable mattress, but the pillows were too soft. It was quiet at night, but road traffic woke me up in the morning because our room was in the front overall it was a great experience.

Overall stay was okay. The lady who checked me in was really nice. But our room was a little dirty, bathroom doorknob was broken, stains on blankets/pillows, loose hair on bedding and the room had an old smell to it.

The hotel is 5-10 min walk to the Oceano beach, so if you want to be near Sand dunes or just the beach, it’s a good place. Our room faced highway 1 , so we can definitely hear all the cars , but we stayed during the week so it wasn’t that bad . The only two things I would say can be better is the bathroom fan (very loud), and the blankets were super thin. There should be extra blankets because the room is cold , and while there is a heater it makes the room too stuffy. I think adding warm blankets or improving thermo isolation will help. The room is very clean and has fridge and microwave , shower water hot. Staff is very nice!

The facility has just been renovated. New beds, new HBAC unit, working internet, Roku video streaming available and fresh paint. However, coming from a tour trip on the 2nd, the door keys did not work. I have to call and wait for service.
