This place looks good from the outside but on the inside it is dirty! I should have walked right back to the "lobby" when I saw how dirty and shabby the elevator and the halls were but we were tired and just needed to get some food and to sleep so we toughed it out. The location was good and... More

Let me first start by saying that this was one of the most friendly and clean hotel I have ever been to. When I first checked in I was greeted by Latoya, she was very friendly and from there I knew that I had picked the right hotel for my fiancee, daughter, her friend and I to spend the weekend....

First off, we checked in at the "lobby" area. ( hellooo we need to seriously think about renovating this area, 1978 called they want their front desk back!) but we were greeted by a smiley front desk girl. ( Kathy) We checked into a quaint dingy spacious outdated suite, BUT it was clean. Thats all that mattered. View and location... More

We recently stayed at the Dolphin Inn while extending our stay in Virginia after seeing our son home from deployment with the US Navy. We walked the boardwalk not knowing where to stay for 2 added days and decided on the Dolphin Inn. It was wonderful. The staff was helpful in every way. We expected to be staying in a... More

Please disregard any comments about this hotel being a nice place to stay...IT IS NOT! First clue was when we got on the elevator and the floor tiles were broken and covered with cardboard and tape. The rug in the elevator looked like it hadn't been vacuumed all season. We entered our room and it was dark and dingy. The... More

The view from the balcony was breath taking. The hotels location is awesome, close to everything. The swimming pool on he 8th floor while... More

Our party of three had a perfectly nice night here. I guess the hotel is a bit tired, but it was clean and the view was spectacular. I am surprised to read so many negative reviews - although we stayed off peak and most of these are for the summer, so perhaps the cleaning staff are can't keep up with... More

There were alot of problems with this hotel, but the worst was their dishonesty. My husband, myself, our son, another couple and their son spent 4 nights there in August 2011. Needless to say we will never stay here again. They don't know how to tell the truth !!!!! We were told when we made the reservation there was a... More
