Great place to stay. Super friendly staff at the reception. Beautiful decorated and clean room. Free breakfast to your room. Free parking. Located at the beach with boardwalk. Enjoy the beautiful sunsets. Great restaurant just 3 minutes away by foot. Hearst Castle only a 10 minute drive. I recommend the Blue Dolphin Inn and definitely would stay again.

This hotel was right across from the beach. The staff was very helpful and very friendly. Great location which is very important to me. Walkable. Great view of the sunset. They serve the breakfast in your room. It could be improved. I would stay here again.

Very nice room. Comfortable beds, clean, nice bathroom with amenities. Micro & fridge in the room, electric fireplace for heat. A packet of cookies to enjoy in the room. You order breakfast from a limited menu, pick the time you want it & they deliver it to your room. Food was ok. Nice outside view.

The Blue dolphin was a very nice clean property that was quiet and it looked like it had been upgraded nicely. It was right across from the beach. We really enjoyed our stay there!

Location is great, property is very comfortable. Breakfast was good but the choices limited and very similar. Wish they had better options for outdoor seating. Lots of restaurants within a short driving distance.

Very nice and cozy. Not a really big hotel and its quiet. I appreciated the clean wrapped ceramic plates and utensils. Made a difference when reheating our foods. Breakfast was hot and decent.
