We make a point to stay here every year. The staff are so wonderful and make you feel so welcome. The rooms are very clean, and well taken care of. We just love the small town atmosphere of Cayucos and the motel is just 2 blocks from the beach. There are more expensive motels, in the area. But you won't... More

Both my wife and I stayed at the Dolphin Inn this past weekend. What a dump!!! The room was filthy, smell of disinfectent, drapes were half off the rod and paper thin walls. The broken office chair outside the room said it all.

This place is wonderful, the front desk is very friendly. Does not matter if you go in the middle of the night, they treat you with a smile. The location is great. The rooms are clean and they make your stay a pleasant experience.

Small motel but nice location and great service. I liked their patio rooms.

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.

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
