My girlfriend and I loved staying at Dunes Inn. It was very calm, safe, clean and nice. Very basic, but everything we needed. Great and free parking, nice staff, no noise or annoyances. A very basic american style motel for guests travelling by car, just like in the movies, and we loved that aspect. For a romantic holiday we'd choose something more swanky, but we've had plenty of those experiences and for our holiday we just wanted a basic, easy, cheap and nice authentic american road trip place to stay. Perfect! We pretty much had the place to ourselves. We'll probably stay here next time we're in LA again.
