The room was very clean and had all the amenities that we could have needed. Beds were very comfortable. I like how they do breakfast in your room by ordering from a limited menu the day before:) My sister and I had no complaints and would highly recommend staying at the Blue Dolphin Inn.

Property is pretty small, more like a family hotel. Quite a few like this in the area. Great stop for a long trip, room is cozy and quiet, can see the ocean across the street. Breakfast is made to order, large portion and great taste. Scenery around the property is breathtaking.
