We make it a rule not to travel to the same places - too big a world to explore-but we are looking forward to returning to Blue Dolphin. Our room was beautiful and the small town was a nice change from L.A. and San Francisco where we were also vacationing. I wouldn't want to spend more than a night or... More

This was our 2nd vacation trip to California. We had passed through Cambria on our 1st trip 5 years ago, and I knew when we returned, we would have to make this charming town one of our stops this trip. I booked 2 nights at the Blue Dolphin based on the Trip Advisor reviews & am SO happy to say... More

Too sad we were able to stay only for one night. As we arrived we felt as we were known for years: a warm welcoming made us feel at home immediately. Then the room could not be more romantic, with some pre-ordered cheese plates and fruits, with a bottle of local winery red wine. It is a very nice stay... More

Not sure you can go wrong anywhere on Moonstone Drive, but particularly enjoyed Blue Dolphin Inn. Walking distance to great restaurants, private parking, breakfast included and lovely service. Left a bag behind in error and staff did everything they could to contact me and return to me. Would recommend and return.

Heard about this location from friends and booked a ground floor ocean view room for our 25th wedding anniversary. This property is exquisite! The accommodations are impeccable, the view is spectacular and the attention to detail is evident in everything they do. The picnic breakfast boxes are such a nice touch. We dined on the patio and then walked the... More

My friends and I drove down the PC Highway from San Francisco to L.A. This lovely Inn was a lovely surprise. The photos do not do it justice. I wish we had been able to stay longer. The rooms are completely modernized, the beds are comfortable the service is fantastic and the entire facility is spotless. Thank you for a... More

The inn has some nice touches, but I suggest staying at another hotel unless you can book one of the three ocean facing rooms with a patio. We booked at the last minute, so did not have this option. Our room was small and dark with a parking lot view. The three rooms at the front of the hotel are... More

We stopped here for 2 nights while driving down from Big Sur to Santa Barbara. We chose it for its proximity to the Hearst estate in San Simeon, perfect! The inn is lovely and we had a room directly across the street from the water, so nice to be so close. It is a very clean, well run inn. While... More

We stayed at the Blue Dophin Inn in March 2013 when driving down Big Sur. It was lovely. The rooms are a little small but very comfortable with lovely modern decor. The beds were comfortable with high quality sheets and pillows. Our room had a fireplace and a very nice bathroom with quality toiletries.The Inn serves a delicious boxed breakfast... More
