We had a great vacation and enjoyed our stay! Comfy and clean rooms. Huge outdoor pool area and location is perfect. Everything is about a 15 minute or less drive away. Ptown is only 25 min away! Delicious breakfast restaurant right on sight.

A charming mom and pop place.

We are definitely coming back here because we loved the place and people there. The little rest area with a fire pit and a hammock are so charming, we are simply in love with the Blue Dolphin Inn.

Easy check in, easy check out. Didn't have to ask for extra towels, they just came in and refilled it for us. Quiet and felt safe. The pillows stunk, had to put my t-shirt over the pillow case because it smelled like cigarettes' on one side, and like butt on the other.

Great location, responsive and friendly staff, surprisingly large clean room, all for a very reasonable price. I was on a 14 day road trip, and the 4 nights at the Blue Dolphin were the best of the trip, which included hotels costing twice as much.
