We had a great stay and decided to stay an extra night as the area is so relaxing as peaceful
Make it part of your journey if doing the pacific coast drive !!!
Fantastic property - the location is the real sell here, and arguably the best hotel on the front here. My only really recommendation would be breakfast - the choice is limited (effectively just a egg and ham burrito that’s not edible for a European) - perhaps teaming up with the local French bakery to offer some of their fantastic treats would give an option that’s easily added to the choice? Regardless - we don’t come for the breakfast and will come again anyway.
This was just the best place!
I cannot wait to come back and stay again!
I loved everything about my stay and so did my husband.
Surprise trip for his 60th birthday!
The cookies were delicious too!

We stayed there while we went to the christmas market, the bus shuttle was 2 hotels down for the market..
Amazing view of the coastline from the property on the oceanside rooms. Would highly recommend for mature travelers who want a quiet place to unwind and relax.
It’s our 3rd time staying at the Blue Dolphin Inn and it’s predictably and reliably comfortable. The breakfast is huge regardless of your choices and the convenience to walk to restaurants is great. With EV charging, it’s our go to spot to stay in Cambria. We’ll be back!
Great property for those who enjoy taking long walks on the beach or boardwalk. Or, those who enjoy solitude and watching and hearing the crash of waves along the sand. It is also the perfect place for those who enjoy great restaurants, like the Moonstone or the Ingigo Moon in Cambria. We’ll be back soon!

Very well maintained property inside and out. Comfortable and room and bed. Very professional service. Yummy breakfast and fresh hot coffee.
This hotel is right on Moonstone Beach, with the ocean and walking path right outside its door. The rooms are spacious, well-decorated, and very clean. It’s a bonus to have breakfast provided to your room each day. We sprang for an ocean view room and it was well worth it! We will hopefully be back again some day.
Very comfortable. One item to addressed (room 206).
There are ten cylinders outside the window that turn on and off, throughout the night that are very industrial sounding.

Location was the best part
The Inn is in a great location. Front desk could be a lot friendlier and more accommodating. The included breakfast bowl/burrito had no taste (bland). The bathroom was tiny and there was no water pressure in the shower. No air conditioner. Good restaurant and beach steps away. The location was the best asset.
