Reviews for Dunes Motel Hillsboro
Review 1:There really isn't anything we didn't like. The only thing that might need attention is the outdated hallways but it looks like they are trying to update it.
Review 2:Great value, great location very clean. It has a very unique style, the hand made swing from India in the lobby is simply gorgeous. The theme of the hotel is India. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The beds are very comfortable
Review 3:The only thing i dont like is it is so far from portland...but i will always stay there. The travel is worth it.
Review 4:I have stayed here before and though the building is older the people who run it and staff keep it clean. I have a back and neck injury and the bed and pillows are super comfy!
Review 5:I do not rate this hotel a 2.5, but a one. When we got there, we found the window of our room open and the window frame broken. In order to get the window to lock, we had to push the window panes together and try to lock it. Then the heater would not work. The front desk clerk told me that I needed to turn on the thermostat and the room would heat up and that I could find the thermostat on the wall next to the light switch and the switch for the a/c. I mentioned that there were no vents in the room for heat and he replied, "the vents are in the ceiling and there is a special panel where the ceiling meets the wall that let's the heat out." I told him he must be mistaken, that the ceiling was textured and painted with no visible area for heat to come out and that, if that were the case, only the attic would be heated. He then told me that he could not explain it, but that it was for safety reasons. So I went up stairs to my room and turned on the a/c switch and got heat. Do not stay here
Review 6:The neighborhood is not the best. There were men in the parking lot and I found myself double checking the locks on the windows to make sure they were secure (they were). I was also checking on my car frequently. Nothing happened.
Review 7:The beds were clean!
Review 8:we did not stay the smell of cleaning chemical was to strong 'even so they charge us. we think is not right becouse we showup .we thing if you are just people.must return our money thankyou
Review 9:Staff was friendly and flexible for our bicycle trip. Close to the MAX and services. The room was clean and comfortable. Excellent place for this price point. We have used the Dunes in the past and we will use them again.
Review 10:Filthy, disgusting, ripoff! Room is dirty, old splatter/blotches on bathroom walls, air conditioner filter has dirt and debris caked inside, doesn't look like the room has been cleaned in a long long time. Maybe if the place looked like it was maintained and the room looked like it was regularly cleaned, the review wouldn't be 1 star. The carpets are filthy, blanketes have holes in them, furniture is falling apart, the window locks with a wooden stick (not a joke) and so much more.... Based on how filthy the place is, I was at least glad that the mattress was wrapped in plastic, even though sleeping was uncomfortable and miserable but at least it felt like there was a barrier between myself and whatever may be growing in that room. 8 hours after leaving, while sitting on the plane, I could still smell the stench which absorbed into all of my things. The place needs a lot of work, a thorough cleaning, a fresh coat of paint and major updating throughout. Doesn't matter how old of a place it is, not keeping up with cleaning is not acceptable. For the cost per night ($100), unless you really really really have NO other options just keep looking, even if it means driving another 10, 20+ miles...
Review 11:Close to a busy street so you have some street noise with window open but we ran the air so we did not notice it much.
Review 12:Clean and comfortable and about $75 a night after taxes. We had a fridge, microwave and TV in our room. No hair dryer or coffee pot but there is a coffee shop across the street as well as a Mexican food market and restaurants are close.
Review 13:Linens could use an upgrade. Ultimately, great motel.
Review 14:Very clean, nice staff, good food places near by, only 10 minute walk to nearest light rail station. Large fridge and microwave in room.
Review 15:The room was really dirty the walls in the bathroom had old blood spots and on the bottom of the bed skirt was stains from i dont know what.also there was somthing on the celing it looked like some body had picked there nose and flicked it up there i will never stay there again the bed was like sleeping on the floor woke up with our heads and backs hurting we checked out early needless to say..
Review 16:The only good thing was the cable tv.
Review 17:I booked through Booking.com, but when I arrived at the motel, they tried to tell me that the low rate provided by Booking.com wasn't valid and attempted to increase the price on us. The woman in particular was very unpleasant. Although they finally relented, the woman didn't try to hide her anger.
Review 18:The young man at the front desk was very kind. Allowed us to check out at 11:30 instead of the normal 11 a.m. time (we asked the night before if this was okay). The room was clean and the beds were comfortable.
Review 19:It's located in downtown Hillsboro, closed to the metro and some tasty Mexican restaurant's. Its not fancy, but it's super clean, has a fridge, microwave and cable TV with Wi-Fi, what more do you need, plus there's a gourmet coffee shop across the street. The best bang for your buck you'll find.
Review 20:The thermostat on the wall does absolutely nothing it would be nice if there was a note or something there to keep you from fiddling with it.
Review 21:I like the good choices of Mexican cuisine located nearby. I like that there is a police substation one block over as this is in a neighborhood that is not the most inviting.
Review 22:One of the doors leading to the outside has no lock. This needs to be fixed immediately.
Review 23:Good value for the money, close to food and services, decent area if a bit urban.
Review 24:Pillows are hard, bring your own and you'll sleep well. Access is tricky because street has a meridian in the middle, go down a block turn around and come back.
Review 25:The right price, clean, secure and friendly. I stay there regularly when in Hillsboro for business.
Review 26:My blankets had cigarette burns at the bottom along with rips when I asked housekeeping if they could change them they said not until tomorrow but I was leaving at 8 am it was horrible! !!!
Review 27:They were doing construction on the motel. It echoed through the whole place was very disruptive. Also their credit card machine didn't work.
Review 28:The bathtub was deep and the wifi and cable were great
Review 29:Night access was awkward as you had to go up a flight of stairs, unlock a door, and go down half a flight of stairs to get in or out - not cool with baggage
Review 30:It was convenient for our plans
Review 31:We were placed in a "non-smoker room" that was located right next to a smoker room so the entire room still smelt like smoke. It took me several days to get the smoke smell out of my clothes and pillow afterwards
Review 32:The staff was very friendly and the rooms were nice.
Review 33:Plastic covers on bed. I pulled those off after discovery, which helped on hot summer nights.
Review 34:Easy access at night. TV and internet excellent. Quiet at night.
Review 35:seediness of area and clients, clustering in parking lot, smoking on hotel steps. There are steps to the entrance, so you have to carry luggage up before you can use a cart. Door lock not always functioning properly. Windows on a blind alley with junk in it.
Review 36:the bed
Review 37:Needed to keep the air pumping all night, and for some reason I kept waking up. Could be what we ate at the wedding, and not the motel's fault!
Review 38:Loved the tile in the updated bathroom
Review 39:Located on a very busy road, so constant traffic noise. Office not open until 7:00 am so no coffee if you're on the road early. Parking tough to get when busy.
Review 40:Wifi was good
Review 41:Stale air in lobby and hallway - smells like smoke all the time. No elevator Dated carpet and furniture. Upon arrival you get the feeling you just want to get out of there.
Review 42:Location on Hwy 8 was convenient. Fridge and microwave in room are a plus.
Review 43:The motel stunk so bad! The sheets had blood on them, the toilet had spots of urine on it. When i told the front desk I was told we could check out with no refund or deal with the unsanitary room. After paying $90 for that room we had no choice but to stay! Would not recommend this place to anyone, including a homeless person. Never again! Just nasty, stinky, gross! Room rate is way too much! And the owner/manager very rude!
Review 44:Absolutely nothing! Gross!
Review 45:The area didn't feel upbeat to me. If I wanted a tourist type of experience I probably would not stay there.Since I was there mainly for business purposes, it was ok .
Review 46:The motel was clean, well run, and had an ethnic decor as it is located in a Mexican American area of town. It was located near my destination.
Review 47:We paid for a queen bed and oddly enough, ended up with two doubles and a twin. The room was not particularly clean-- there were clothing stickers on the walls and everything was pretty musky. There was absolutely no parking in the tiny lot when we got back to our hotel after 10:00, so we had to park in the neighborhood around the block. The nighttime entrance was propped open by a bottle a bleach-- which made us feel really secure.
Review 48:The price and location were the only two good points for this hotel. Only $66 for a queen and in the heart of Hillsboro.
Review 49:No breakfast No guest laundry, even though it was advertised!
Review 50:Full fridge freezer and microwave in the room Close to places to eat Clean Good location

Review 95:Ease of check in and out

Review 97:Friendly
Review 98:We were in a no smoking room but it still smelled of smoke. When we got home, we & all of our belongings smelled of smoke.
Review 99:The room was clean & beds were comfortable.
Review 100:The facilities are in need of a face lift. All doors but one are locked at 11:00 pm. Holes in bath towels.(They were clean) We went to breakfast and came back for extra car after check out. My Father-In-Law (84) needed to use a restroom when we arrived back at the hotel to pick up our car. They refused to let him use a restroom because we had checked out an hour earlier.
Review 101:The facilities were clean. Young man at front desk when we checked in was nice.
Review 102:Terrible odor - the room reeked of a very unpleasant smell - with minimal furnishings. We were there for less than 1 hour - did not touch anything - and the manager refused to refund the night. We were completely disappointed and dissatisfied.
Review 103:Nothing. A very disappointing and frustrating experience.
Review 104:there was no reservation at front desk when we arrived,they looked everywhere.dont know why it didnt get there from booking.com,or maybe it did. was worried that we would be double charged,because booking website said it would charged immediately????
Review 105:shower
Review 106:the man on the desk was very argumentative, did not understand my reservation, was going to charge me for 1 extra day. all around bad customer service.
Review 107:he gave us a room on the 2nd floor, like requested.
Review 108:It is a dump. They do not use Key Cards for door locks, they have two door locks and two keys. I doubt they rekey both locks after each check-out, so you have no assurance of duplicate keys being made by the previous guest. It is across the street from a Goodwill store, several tatoo parlors, and nail polish establishments. No Elevator. When Lobby closes, you only have access to the upstairs via an exterior stairway.
Review 109:They tried to charge me extra for my two kids after I got there eventhough I listed them on booking.com. After I argued, they agreed toaccept the original amount.
Review 110:$60/Night
Review 111:Let me count the ways... 1) Toilet ran ALL NIGHT. 2) Walls were thin. the couple next door were enjoying themselves & I got to hear all about it. 3) There were 10 different patterns between the counter, tile, wallpaper, carpet, bedspread, drapes, etc. 4) Door & lock were shabby. I slept w my .38 next to me. 5) Wall lamp switch wouldn't work, was sparking, & I had to remove the light bulb to turn it off.
Review 112:It was closest to my business trip destination.
Review 113:Little parking, after hours access to building was sketchy. Difficult to access due to street layout. Not good for handicap accessible
Review 114:Rooms were very clean and staff accommodating. Well priced and rooms were quiet once inside.
Review 115:Location is not so great, and parking is a problem. Not handicap accessible. After hours entry door did not lock, and keys were problematic. Not a modern motel with modern conveniences.
Review 116:Surpisingly clean and maintained. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms had big refrigerators and microwave. Was actually pretty quiet in the room. Much better than a cheap chin motel. But very dated.
Review 117:There where 3 homeless people sitting on the bench drinking from a winebottle, this was right outside the front door of the motel. Also someone went thur my luggage bags on the motorcyle I was driving, I had onlycleaning supplies in the bags. But they all where open the next morning,I left at 5am, the office was not open yet, so I could not report thisincident to them. I'm going to recommen this hotel to others, butwith a warning to be careful in the parking lot.
Review 118:It was very close to my reason for being in Hillsboro Or.,plus thepeople who orperate the motel are geat.
Review 119:the lady desk clerk checking me out was extremely rude would not give a receipt when asked at first then gave me one that had wrong info on it then refused to explain it and would not listen to / answer questions
Review 120:the night clerk that checked us in was very helpfull and curteous the fact that it had smoking rooms was very nice as I am a smoker
Review 121:No smoking room, but hallway reeked of it! Came in late several evenings and had to park in a no-parking spot as the rest of the spaces were full. A bit run down. Got a much better value out from town a ways
Review 122:Nothing really to complain about, however, air conditioner didn't work (room 258). Because weather was cool, it was fine just to open window.
Review 123:Excellent, strong WiFi signal, at least in the room we were in, fast Internet. Best value around. Very close to my new job at Intel.
Review 124:the room decor didnt go together at all: carpet clashed with wall colors, multiple wall colors, bed sperad clashed as well - however all very clean
Review 125:Very clean The price fridge and micro towels and bedding new crisp and clean
Review 126:The room fan/ac did not work. There was no ice machine. No continental breakfast. The stairs need paint.
Review 127:The price was reasonable and the location was convenient.
Review 128:The location was not superior. The picture above the bed had been removed leaving holes and patches in the wall, but that was just cosmetic, which had no real affect with regard to the overall room.
Review 129:The room was spacious and VERY clean. The rate we paid was excellent. We did not spend time in our room except for sleeping/showering, and for those purposes, it was an excellent choice!
Review 130:No place to wash cloths and not much information about how to use thephone and no blow dryer in the restroom also no coffe maker in the roomand no alarm clock +phone book also one of the the things I dislike wasthat they gave us two keys and only one worked for the room the other toenter after hours on the second floor only entrance has no access toeven use the key therefor always having to wait for someone from insidethe building to open the door to enter one last dislike is the maidsthat work there disrespect us because we asked not to be disturbed andand felt that they were impolite .
Review 131:The management was nice and friendly and quit and respectful very cleanand warm and comfortable
