I had booked in advance at a number of locations whilst touring California and Arizona, all of which had proved to be good choices. This was our last stay and how I came to chose it I will never know! On arrival the place looked poor and the room was musty and not at all inviting. Beds clean and comfortable,... More

not as advertised: first room had no refrigerator. no ice machine available. bathroom sink was clogged. management lied about giving me a reduction in fees when I complained about the conditions of this hotel. Billed me the hole amount. Free breakfast was Cheerios. I will never stay here again. More

Cayucos, Calif. is definitely one of the "best kept secrets" in beach towns you will ever find. However most of the hotel choices are from motels from the 50's & 60"s & the Dolphin Inn is one of these 50 year old properties. It lacks any beach view and is a fairly long walk to downtown where all the dining... More

We stayed here for 1 night whilst on a road trip up highway 1. I used trip advisor before coming into town and quickly found the motel. It didn't look great from the outside so we looked elsewhere but as it's peak season, absolutely everywhere else was showing 'No Vacancy'...so we decided yo stay at The Dolphin as planned. We...

This is the nastiest, most run down motel I have ever almost stayed in. Cayucos has a good selection of places to stay, but the Dolphin Inn is NOT one of them. The room I was shown had holes in the box spring, a sloppily patched hole (doorknob size) in the wall, the wall heater had a scorch mark on... More

Stayed here because of the reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor. Great choice! This is a totally retro feeling motel, but it is clean, kept nice and comfortable. We had two rooms, one with a King and the other with two Queens. I Do Not Recommend the Jacuzzi Suite room. It is smaller than the regular king room, especially the bathroom.... More

This is a cute, old time motor hotel. Nothing fancy or modern except for the free wi fi. But the owners are super nice and the property is neat and tidy. Our room was clean, comfortable, and there weren't any strong cleaner odors masking old cigarette smells that you often find in old hotels. This little place is right across... More

Spent 2 nights here. Great location close to everything and just a very short walk to the beach. It's true that it is not the newest motel or perhaps loaded with all the latest equipment but it was quiet, comfortable and clean. Our room had a small microwave and fridge which was handy. You can walk to most any place... More

clean, neat, pleasant staff, good value highly recommend. We moved here after an unpleasant stay at the Beachwalker Inn where it was dirty and musty and more expensive. A great find! More
