The room was outstanding and beautiful with a queen bed, just what we needed. Everything was spotless. This hotel was set in a central area close to most areas, the beach and restaurants, and the alley. We appreciated being there.

The location was marvelous and fantastic

The rooms were tidy and perfect for me. Everything was spotless

I had a truly memorable stay on my vacation. The room was lovely and cozy for the value. The facilities were spotless and had everything I could wish for. Every staff member was wonderful and personable.

Absolutely perfect, immaculate room with a queen bed, everything was spotless: D

Great choice for weekend. Incredibly friendly hotel in a great and incredible location right at the beach. Immaculate room with a kitchenette, very kind and nice staff. Location close to `` downtown '', restaurants and shops and the coast...

Beds were too firm.

The location of this hotel close to the beach was fantastic. I was happy to find The Hidden Kitchen serving nice food.

The hotel is in a great area right by Cayucos and Cambria, close to the beach, town center, and pier, and all the dining and activities. The room was tidy and absolutely perfect with a large bathroom. The staff was personable.

I have been staying at The Dolphin Inn with my Husband for years. It is the only affordable place left to stay in Cayucos. The owners are friendly and it's a very short walk to beach access.

It's not what you would call luxurious, but it has everything you need for a few days of a beach getaway.

This is an older place, typical sea side motel. Room clean/beds comfortable/ lots of storage in our room. Drove to beach/stores but you could walk if you did not have a lot of stuff to carry.Shower clean and water pressure good. Front desk staff very nice. Picky teenage children liked it.....

Screens on windows in poor condition (torn/frame bent) ceiling fan needs to be balanced (looked like it would take off from ceiling) don't count on a filling breakfast experience......no room a/c (we did not need, but since you could not leave windows open due to screen condition, this may be a problem for others)

The staff here were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

Convenient location, just a 10-15 minute walk from the Wooden Indian. The rooms are really clean and spacious, with a kitchen table and a nice bathroom setup. 🌟

The Dolphin Inn is old but is in the process of being renovated. It is clean, the bed was comfortable. There was a microwave and refrigerator both of which were clean and functioning more than I can say for a major chain we stayed in that cost more than twice as much.

A bargain at $49 per night midweek. A very basic old-school place with limited amenities and dated furniture/decor, but with a clean and comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Short walk to main drag and beach.

Walls are thin. You will know if neighbouring rooms are occupied.

Convenient Location 🏖️

This place is conveniently located close to the beach, a park with ocean views across the street, and downtown where all the dining options are.
