We have just returned from our stay at the Dunes. This was our 8th year and reservations have been made for next year. It is a family place and we see the same guests year after year. It may not be the most updated of places but it is clean and offers everything you need or want. The staff goes... More

....but don't stay here unless you like dirty bathrooms, rooms in disrepair (tubs, tiles, ceiling, carpet, furniture), dead flies everywhere, no dead bolts on the doors, totally indifferent staff, small thin towels, bad smell in rooms, lousy food, elderly swimming pool, etc. Don't bother complaining to the "management" - they don't care - theirs is a captive audience for lovely...

I worked at DMI and now stay as a guest. Seems to me these negative reviews come from people who are expecting the Wentworth. The Dunes is the last true beach motel on the NH seacoast. Plenty of fun for the family and kids. I also grew up in nearby Hampton. If you are looking for family memories, this is... More

What can I say. Office staff and crew are doing the best they can with a dilapidated mess. The kitchen staff is a different story along with the drunken bartender. As far as I could tell, all the kitchen help and Robin?,(bartender) live on site in a shack. The kitchen and bar are filthy, and I would never eat there... More

One of the worst motel experiences ever. Outside looks okay, but the room was filthy, mosquito plagued, and WAY overpriced. Sleep in the car if there are no other options.

Might not be the grand palace some people are use to, but most should find this hotel a family friendly hotel at a reasonable rate for the area. which can be alot more costly at other places near by and not as close to the beach. Speaking of the beach, Jennes Beach is a quiet area with limmited parking available... More

Spent three days at The Dunes Motor Inn.What a dump. Overpriced and filthy. The pool was well maintained and clean though dated. The maintenance man and his dog seemed to be the hardest workers there. Staff was friendly and helpful but smoked constantly, inside the office. Parking was a joke with $10 parking for the beach and stuffing all the... More

Have just returned from a fabulous 12 day road trip around New England, the only fly in the ointment was the 1 night we stayed at Dunes Motor Inn. Similar review to other reviewers - the room needed a good clean, generally grubby and shabby, but the fleas and mosquitoes were the final straw!!! My husband would not take his... More
