Beach week with my ladies

It was cool! The location was amazing and the room was a nice size for the amount of people i was with. The only problem was the tub was a little dirty when we got there and there weren't enough towels and wash cloths for everyone! But other than that everything was great!

Nice getaway for Beach week :)

Me and my friends really enjoyed our time at The Dolphin Inn! There were a few things that could have made it better!! The tub was a lil dirty and there werent enough towels and washcloths for all the girls. We enjoyed the view from the hotel and the room was nice! We would recommend coming here again!! Maybe soon :)

Quick overnite trip!

The hotel is average. It could be cleaner. There were spots on the sheets and comforter. Our refrigerator didn't work well and although maintenance came quickly, it never worked properly. The window seals had dead bugs in them and the balcony had cigarette buds on it even though it was a non smoking room. The pool and surrounding area also needs some work. Other than those things, which mainly have to do with cleaniness, this hotel is okay. It does offer a remarkable view of the ocean and the jacuzzi tub in the room is nice.

Book this hotel through this site, otherwise you'll have to book more than one day if you try to book it directly through the hotel.

Nice hotel staff, helped me with ongoing computer issue!

All of the rooms are jacuzzi suites. The high floors give you a howling wind every night, but only during the winter. All of the rooms face the ocean with a balcony, which is pretty cool.

Family Getaway!

We loved our room, we always stay at this hotel. Other hotels have cheaper rates, but I still stay here. Because I know what I am getting when I get a room here I know that we have everything that we need. The only thing is that it is not pet friendly, if they would change to a pet friendly hotel, that would be perfect for my whole family right now someone has to stay at home with the babies. But other than that it's great! The kids love it the inside pool is perfect year round.

Nothing above ordinary

While the location of this hotel was great, there were improvements that the property needed, to be above ordinary. The indoor pool could only accomadate 12 people and was not family friendly, with guests bringing alcohol and inappropiate behavior. Our room was located on the 10th floor and the weather stripping was in very poor shape on the door and caused a very loud whistling through the door. The staff did not have the equipment to fix the first evening,but said they would be back the next day, however it was still not fixed by the time we checked out.The elevator did not work properly and would get stuck on different floors causing us to walk down 10 flights of stairs just to get to our car. Not a very family friendly hotel.

Little Private Vacation

This hotel was very nice. Hotel staff upon check in was super. I arrived early and was able to check in shortly after my arrival. Room was clean, although furnishings dated, the beds were comfortable. Would definitely recommend to friends and go back myself. Off Season rate through Orbitz for this hotel was right on target.

The location makes up for almost everything.

This hotel is in a perfect location. It is right at everything at the beach. The staff is amazing. The hotel was ok clean it could have been better but wasnt gross. I would stay again the only two things I would change is the fact they do not use sheets with elastic so it comes off also that they do not offer a queen or king size bed.

My trip to VA

My stay at the Dolphin Inn was ok. The hotel staff was very friendly and always provided whatever I needed. I expected a little more out of the room for what I paid. But the overall stay was good.
