• Convenience to beach/boardwalk, location, laid-back atmosphere.

“Decor reminding me of the 70's. I would think it would be a good hotel for spring breakers, or family vacations as well as romantic get-a-ways.”

• Great location.
• Parking and safe charge.

“The location is great, the staff is friendly and helpful. I didn't like the hotel tacked on an extra safe charge of $1 day. I'm a world traveler and never had to pay such a charge. Thought this hidden charge was unnecessary and tacky, since I didn't have a need to use the safe. The hotel was old, but it was for the most part clean, contrary to other reviews I have read. Thought the carpets needed to be shampooed after all this is a beach property and sand is too be expected. My room required minor maintenance attention such as the shower head leaked, the bathroom door hook was broken and the locks on the doors where starting to rust so they stuck just a bit. Since it was the off season, parking was not an issue, but I would not stay there during the summer because there wouldn't be enough spots for all the guest. Overall, I think I would stay there again if I had the opportunity.”

• Staff was friendly and helpful very impressive.
• Parking was less than desirable.

“We had an issue with the parking which was very limited; staff was friendly and helpful. The pool was very refreshing; the ocean view was wonderful and the Jacuzzi was relaxing. Thanks for a wonderful weekend of memories.”

• Dirt.

“This hotel needs some real good cleaning all over, like dried food on the railing and the door glass was filthy.”

• The location.
• Hall to small, wind blew around the doors all night and make too much noise.

“The hotel was alright, but it was old and you had to pay for a safe whether or not if you wanted it. They need to fix their door. The draft of wind very strong.”

• I loved the views they where great. We had a wonderful time and hope to return there soon.
• They where building right next to the hotel and it was a little loud.

“I would stay there again any day the staff was great and very nice. We had great views and a nice size room perfect for family or just the two. Great location hopes to return soon.”

• Spacious rooms, good location.
• No lobby or dining area; pool did not work.

“The hotel was nice; good area, great view and access of the ocean. The room was very spacious especially for the 2 children we had with us. There was an indoor pool but it was small and did not work for the last two days there the heat was off (to the pool) and it was not running either) we reported it but it was not fixed in time for us to leave. We also like a restaurant or drink bar in our hotel but this one did not have one. I would recommend the hotel.”

• Fantastic view, very spacious, many amenities.
• You can only bring one car, they do not have parking, you will have to park extra vehicles at a nearby parking garage.

“I enjoyed my stay at the Dolphin Inn. The front desk did not expand on what all the hotel had to offer (like the indoor pool upstairs), but I had a fantastic time!”

• Beds were comfortable, and TV in living room & bedroom was nice.
• Got charged $20.00 for local call, but they did adjust it. Had to wait till Monday when sup. Was there to get it removed.

“The hotel was very nice, the view was impressive, it was quiet, we did see a roach on our last day in the room, and we were charged $20.00 for a long distance call, when it was local. They did adjust it. We are from Atlanta area & its habit to dial area code on all calls and did it while in van. Beach, which caused the system to rate our call as long distance.”

• Location, ocean view suites, beds comfortable.
• Uncomfortable seating, and not enough. Bothered by sales calls.

“An old place being renovated. All ocean view suites, so that is the main appeal, but renovation is uneven in quality. Beds OK, and decor pleasant, but sofa in sitting room worn and uncomfortable, and no other seating there except three table chairs which were very uncomfortable. The suite is supposed to allow 6 persons, where do they sit? Tiny table, with no lighting over it. Wireless and desk were great. Noisy maids/woke us up even though we had late check out. "Kitchen" is not really a kitchen - no burners or stove. Just refrigerator, microwave, and tiny coffee maker, so don't expect to cook much. Tacky sales calls to promote their other properties interrupted us once a day. Having the ocean view was nice.”

“This was my first adventure to see the ocean - and my stay at the Dolphin Inn on the Ocean - made it all worth while. I could not have asked for a better hotel. Within walking distance of everything and a great room altogether.”
