The pictures on the website did not look like the actual room. The furniture is old, the room was in need of repairs and could have been cleaner. I stayed in a 'suite' which would have been better as an open room because it was so small. There was no screen on the back window, no bathtub, and no ice... more

I was yelled at by the man behind the desk. Give your money to someone else, dont stay at the Dolphin Inn. This man yelled at me when I asked for extra pillows! more

The Inn is old but nice, clean and quiet..We stayed in the two room cottage. It had 1 fulltime bed in each room and a full kitchen. All the appliances worked fine..If you plan to stay for a while bring your own food and paper goods..It is about 1 block from the beach and a couple of blocks to the... more

It was the most expensive dive I've ever stayed at! At over $200 a night, expect the floors to be even (cottage appeared to have fallen off foundation), and the decor to be modern, and the bed to not sag. The owners are very nice, but it doesn't make up for $$$. more

We planned this trip with a set budget in mind, and when we went searching for a hotel on internet, we only found... more

We have been staying at the Dolphin Inn for years, with no regrets. It is comfortable, quiet, close to the beach, and average in price. The managers are always polite, and they respect your privacy. We often wish that there were a couple of trees in the parking lot, but perhaps that will come, in time. more

This small, old motel seems fine when you drive up, but once inside, it is terrible. Our room was old, the bed was squeaky, and our fire alarm was broken and thrown in a cabinet. The showers sometimes do not work, and after asking the staff if they had an iron or hairdryer, they snapped at us saying that they... more
