They would not let us check in before 4:00 pm, which would not have been a problem but the motel was less than half occupied. We did not see a single staff person our entire stay. Everything was done by text message. Our shower was not clean, we took photos as soon as we entered the room. Not satisfied to say the least.

I would stay here again but things are used and starting to get old. The thing that needs to be upgraded immediately are the beds. Both beds were very old. No cushion on top. Springs feel like they are coming through the top and both mattresses sink down in the middle. You could not lay on the bed without rolling to the middle. Uncomfortable to sleep on.

As soon as I walked in the door the room smelled of strong mold/mildew. They have an oven so we bought frozen foods from a market across the street because the nearby restaurants were closed. The food was for the oven (not microwaveable) so we heated up the oven but could not find a baking dish or cookie sheet or anything for the oven. We called the desk and they came to our door stating that they did not have anything for us to use even after they had checked all the vacant rooms. So we had to eat snacks for dinner. Everything else was great. For over $300 a night I would have expected much better service as well as a clean smelling room.

It reminded me of the old 60's-70's beach motels that use to dot each beach town. First time to Wilmington and was amazed how many older beach motels are still around. Unlike Panama City who tore everything down. It's not exactly walkable to restaurants, but the pool and convenience to walk right to the beach was great.

They are so sweet and really go all out to make sure your happy and comfortable, anything you need they make sure to get it quickly and every time I set the dirty laundry out side the door their was new clean ones out there so quick. The staff is so awesome, Rozz is the sweetest and she makes me feel so happy to be there. David is so awesome and he really made up for a bad experience quickly and made us very happy and comfortable. I don’t like going anywhere else at the beach this is my place.

Website was deceiving on amenities. Did not have a kitchen or even bigger fridge as in posted website photos. Rooms were small. Room was not cleaned. There were stains and filthy carpet. Splatters of dried substances on the doors and walls. There were roaches alive and dead in the room and on the porch outside of the room. It was difficult to find parking there also. The price paid to book this rental exceeds the quality and value compared to other rentals at other property location in Myrtle Beach, SC previously where we had clean rooms and amenities exact as shown on the website including accessible parking. I feel like we were overcharged in the price at Sand Dunes Motel due to the quality, conditions, size of our rooms, bathroom was cramped with a small stand up shower, roaches, splatters on the walls, dirty stained carpets, upon entering our room coffee maker filter was laying in the floor. Called the Sand Dunes office went to voicemail. Spoke with them next day to get our towels at adjoining motel named Admiral the lady blamed 3rd party for posting deceiving pics that Sand Dunes amenities was supposed to have. I was very disappointed with my stay there.
