The pics on orbitz should be updated because they don’t match reality. I was worried that it would be basic and not very clean. I was pleasantly surprised!! A little old, but clean and met our needs!! The walk to the beach is the real winner! Also, it’s far enough down the island to be past the traffic! The pool is also beautiful with comfy chairs!! An excellent place to stay!!
Love the bay view, the room is like a tiny house, well-equipped with all the utensils, pots and pans you need for cooking, with a two-burner hot plate, microwave, toaster, and more. Good room fridge, too, and super cold À/C. The bed was very comfortable with plenty of pillows. I especially like the secluded feel and quiet of the bay side room I stayed in overlooking the docks and water — a real treat for this desert dweller (from Arizona). Friendly staff and sweet cat create a homey atmosphere.
I loved everything!! Very clean, friendly, great view, quiet and peaceful. I will be going back. Travis, the owner is amazing. He very accommodating, friendly and professional. I can't say enough about this place and the staff. It's a great opportunity to support Small business owners as well.
This place was amazing and exceeded our expectations! The room was perfect. So much space! Heated pool. Directly across the road from beautiful beach. Use of kayaks was a huge surprise and big plus for us! Staff was amazing and so helpful! We are already planning our next stay here!
Clean amazing views amazing owners free kayaks and bikes to use while you stay, you can use the washer/dryers after 6pm, grills and a community fridge (place your fridge food Or beer in it before you check out to share with others Instead of throwing away! They have a hotel cat who is adorable and very fat! Lol we loved our stay at the dolphin inn and seen a dolphin by the dock in the bay
Love that it's on a canal, across from beach, walking distance to restaraunts. Dislike cigarette smokers in pool area. Kids shouldn't be exposed to the smoke.
Long list of likes! Extremely nice pool, kayaks to use, across road from beach, walking distance to several places. Very clean, staff super friendly. My only dislike was the fact that smokers were able to smoke anywhere. It was not comfortable to sit outside my door on the deck with smokers in the rooms on each side. Could not enjoy, would be drinking my morning coffee and they would come out light up...smoke would blow in my room when opened door to go in. Dirty Ash trays everywhere. Same at pool, smokers allowed to smoke wherever. Not cool when you have kids on vacation.
Wonderful Inn with clean, comfortable, spacious rooms, full kitchen and 2 tvs with a variety of cable stations. Friendly and accommodating staff. Great location close to shoos and restaurants, right on the canal across the street from the beach.
Nice place, right across the street from the beach. Have some great amenities at no cost! They even have beach chairs and umbrellas! If I had to improve one thing it would be to have a designated area for smoking.
Can’t say enough good things about this place. You get way more than you pay for at any other place on the island. Definitely a great option!
This was a great little hotel. It was inexpensive and I went in with low expectations, but it turned out to be a great stay. The place feels like a rustic beach cottage...older and nothing fancy, but clean and charming. The ownership and staff were friendly and accommodating. The location is across the street from the beach, but it was still easy to cross and enjoy the beach. Also, it sits on a little inlet and I loved sitting on the dock with a cup of coffee to start my day. Also, kayaks and bikes available. If you want a charming beach cottage feel instead of a vanilla hotel experience, I highly recommend this place.
Pool was really great! Beach chairs and towels are free. Beach is just across the road! Staff was friendly and helpful!
Room is not clean. Beds are not comfortable. Otherwise, nice hotel very close to beach. It would be good for family.
Hotel very close to beach,nice pool, Can take trolly every 45 min to Time Square area for 75 cents. Very nice, will stay again.
The Dolphin Inn was a great find! Close to beach and the room and facilities were super clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Trolley stop right in front of hotel was a bonus as well. Will definitely return to the Dolphin Inn!!
