Our experience at the Dolphin Inn was not a good one. No Lobby, was in the Parking Garage for Compact cars Only..Too Tight to park. Rooms were old, and a little dirty... The 2 Twin beds sucked, and were hard as a rock. Jetted Tub was from 1981, and was dirty. Went to take a shower at 7:45 am, NO... more

This was a family trip. The suite was clean but sort of on the old side. You can see that they tried to update it a bit by installing granite counters in the kitchenette and bathroom., but more was needed. The sofa bed was old and the carpet and drapes were too. The view from the balcony was gorgeous!! But... more

Narrow, dirty, poorly lit passageways, difficult to get in and out with luggage. No lobby, check in and out in the garage. Pool area was not clean. Whole place was worn and dreary looking. People below us were screaming obscenities at people on the beach. Not a family friendly place. We checked out early. Of course, the beach itself is... more

So I absolutely love dolphins and I have to say the name is what originally sold me on this hotel. When I heard that there was a jetted tub I was in. So we made the reservations through Orbitz and waited for the weekend. We got there about 7pm and yes the lobby is only a desk with glass around... more

My husband & i chose to stay @ the Dolphin Inn for our honeymoon in early march. We checked in around 9pm & were startled to find that this hotel has no lobby! You check-in in a small glass room in the parking garage, but the young lady working the counter was an absolute doll & assured us that they... more

My fiance' and I stayed at the Dolphin Inn during Valentine's Day weekend, and we really enjoyed ourselves. I was quite skeptical after reading all the mixed reviews, but decided, hey let's go. No, there's no lobby, but that's not what we went for anyway, so it didn't matter. When we walked in the room, I was suprised at how... more

My husband & I checked into the Dolphin Inn after a nightmare stay at the Marjac. We were greated by a professional & friendly staff. Our suite was clean, well stocked, roomy & comfortable. We were only at the Dolphin Inn one night but plan to stay there when we return to Virgina Beach in May. more

I've just returned after spending four nights at the Dolphin Inn on the Ocean. This is a (generally) clean and safe hotel in the middle of the beach strip. My first impression was not good. The "lobby" is a small office/booth at street level and I had varying degrees of helpfullness from the staff. This is not a fully enclosed... more

EXCELLENT! Arrived and checked in early. Rooms were spotless. Average size motel rooms. Sofa and beds very comfortable. Huge Jacuzzi but couldn't use it in the morning as there was no hot water. Maintence immediately checked and said all water had been used so I had to wait. The first night the wind howled under the door keeping me awake,... more
