Great value and great hospitality
On check in I was warmly greeted, I asked about places to dine, was given several options and also asked how my day was. The room was very spacious and clean and warm as it was a chilly evening.

Great hosts who made the stay easy. Handy spot to town. Nice touch covering vehicle window from ice.
Great friendly couple.
Nice touch of placing a blanket over your vehicle front window at night so it was not iced over in the morning!
Can not fault anything. Will be back

Questions about Lake Dunstan Motel

What time is check-in and check-out at Lake Dunstan Motel?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Lake Dunstan Motel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Lake Dunstan Motel?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Lake Dunstan Motel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Lake Dunstan Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Lake Dunstan Motel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
