We were traveling thru Astoria during the Thanksgiving holiday and decided, at the spur of the moment, to stay the night. We called several hotels and were quoted high prices. We tried the Dunes and they were very reasonable so we booked a night's stay. The hotel receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable with brand... More

Not too many choices in Astoria. This older motel is by the river and supposedly has been updated but we found the furniture to be worn and the bathroom to be very dated. No hairdryers was a real suprise. The breakfast consisted of sweet rolls and coffee but there is a McDonalds near by. More

When our first choice for a Astoria hotel was full, we booked this unknown one. To our surprise, it has all the location features of the more expensive hotels and, in addition, a very cordial and professional staff. Our room on the second floor, facing the Columbia River, was adjacent to the river walkway and the trolley into downtown's museums,... More

We spent one night here visiting the city and were very satisfied with the room, the location, and the price. We paid $75.00 plus tax for the night which included a continental breakfast. The room was clean, recently redecorated, computer access good. More

My wife & I (over 55) found the motel to be clean & comfortable, but over priced. It has been renovated, but they seem to have skimped on the bathroom a bit. Location is good. There is a pool & jacuzzi, but they are basic & quite plain. I always ask " would I stay there again" and I would... More

Our "deluxe non smoking" room which reeked of stale smoke was so tiny we could barely unpack. The bathroom (mostly in a state of disrepair) seemed more like a closet with a toilet a small tub with a poorly placed towel rack you had to duck under as not to poke your eye out. The bed was not comfortable and... More

I live in Portland, Or and fish every year there at least three times and this year I made reservations in June which were confirmed and in mid July someone from the motel called and said the rate for Friday was increased by $50 because there was a regatta on the weekend they could rent the room for much more....

Can't figure how they came up with name, but the reason we stayed was because of it. Turned out to be nice. Remodeled rooms, great location in the downtown area. The Dunes is a mom and pop kind of place and run by someone else. Great service. Came to the coast for the weekend, couldn't find a room on the... More

Stayed one night here in order to catch a ride up river with the Rose Festival Fleet in the morning. Excellent little motel with great views of the river for those rooms with windows facing north. Room was perfect--clean, comfortable, and the price was affordable. I would not hesitate to stay here again. More

Speedy reservation service combined online ease, clear email & cheerful phone contact actually at the motel. Traveling solo, I'm picky about things like room location and outdoor lighting, so I appreciated being able to speak with customer service who knew the unit. Unfortunately, I had to cancel but even that was handled cheerfully. I look forward to staying there again.... More
