I really appreciated my stay at the blue dolphin. The front staff were warm and welcoming, and give us great tips on places to eat. The hotel itself was very clean and well kept and managed. The location is hard to beat since it’s right next to the ocean! It is an affordable price and I hope you get to experience a wonderful stay here too.

I am very picky andnget grossed out very easily at hotels. This was not even close to grossing me out. Unbeatable location. Nice outdoor firepit. Very clean rooms. Clean bathrooms Oldish carpets but not even close to being bad. No AC and the breeze never hit the windows in the right place. The room never got below 75 degrees. But sleeping was in that temp was not bad.

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.
