Not only did they give our room away after I had called them and told them I would be late checking in but they charge someone elses charges on my account. Several hundreds of dollars were taken out of my account and not released until almost a week later and several NSF fees charged from my bank. After I showed... more

EDIFortBragg, owner/manager

Management would like to note what this guest failed to mention. The credit card she used to hold her reservation was declined the day of arrival. We did everything we could to inform her of this fact. Actually, over half of her team's credit cards were declined that night. Regrettably, an error was made in regards to charges on her...

I would recommend this place to others. Price might be a little high but Fort Bragg on average is a bit high. Got the room with the jacuzzi tub. If you can get a good deal on a suite, I would definitely recommend it! more

My husband just recently celebrated his 60th birthday and we had our entire family come and stay with us. Of course we have more family than bedrooms and so I asked around to find a good place for my family to stay. All my friends and business associates told me that the Emerald Dolphin Inn is the main place they... more

We came to Fort Bragg to escape the heat and we have had the time of our lives. We have been staying with the Emerald Dolphin since they opened about 6 years ago- and we have always enjoyed our stay. It never matters what room we choose- each is immaculate and the beds are more comfortable that what we have... more

It had been a long time since my family has been together and we were looking for a very special place for a reunion. I am so glad that some friends told us about the Emerald Dolphin Inn. It was more than expected. We had a large group and had about 11 rooms all together. I have never stayed in... more

My husband and I stayed at the emerald dolphin inn, we frequent the Fort Bragg area several times a year, and our normal motel was completely booked. We payed almost $200 for a suite with a whirlpool and fireplace. The room itself was fine, a little pricey but it was our anniversary and we have both been working very hard... more

Management response from
EDIFortBragg, Manager

Management takes great pride in assuring that every guest has an amazing stay. Unfortunately, sometimes, guests do not realize they are not being considerate of others. Fortunately, due to heavy insulation, normal noise is muffled between guest rooms. In rare occasions, all the insulation in the world can not muffle some. In these cases mangement politely informs the guests causing...

We spent a night at the Emerald Dolphin Inn on 7/18/08. My 13 year old loved the miniature golf & arcade after a day of sightseeing. Our dog was OK w/ the open field next door, but bigger dogs loved the open space. The room was nice, but it did have a pretty strong cigarette smell (although it was non-smoking... more

My daughter and I were on vacation and wanted to play golf at the Emerald Dolphin during our visit to Fort Bragg....but we always stayed at another motel....so, we decided to give the Emerald Dolphin a try and we were very pleased we did. The room was very reasonable. We were able to check in as soon as we got... more

Meh. There was nothing horrible about this hotel, but nothing to recommend it either. We had a room that has an odd lack of furniture (a little refrigerator doubled as a coffee table), internet wireless did not work. The exterior was great, had a lot of character. But the room was pretty so-so, the price was average, and the location... more

Management response from
EDIFortBragg, Management

The Emerald Dolphin caters to all travelers and budgets! We have a few very basic rooms and we have some very beautiful, spacious rooms with more amenities such as Jetted spa tubs, and fireplaces. All of our guest rooms are elegantly decorated, clean and comfortable. This guest chose our most economical room, but it does not reflect on all of...
