My husband and I spent four days at the Emerald Dolphin Inn. The room was cozy, and there was plenty of room.My husband commented that the bed was comfortable. The lady at the front desk was friendly. I wouldn't recommend paying extra for a fireplace. It's just an electric wall fireplace that made a little noise. I didn't reserve a... More

We stayed one night midweek and found the property clean and quiet even though it is on the main highway through town. It is located on the southern end of town away from all of the shops and businesses. Restaurants are a short drive away. I booked this hotel via Expedia and for some reason the hotel was not able...

Always dependable to be clean and comfortable---no surprises. A good place to stay in Fort Bragg---a king on the second floor has plenty of room with a flat screen tv for baseball fans wanting to watch a game.

I have a family. Cleanliness and organization is a top priority and a necessity to keep my household running the way I like. That said, I usually get major anxiety about hotel rooms and bring my vacuum, bleach free cleaners, towels, trash bags, and linens. This trip was no different. I have been known to literally cry over the hygenic... More

Ehhh. I wish I could say I went to this place and loved every minute of it, but it just didn't meet our expectations, or even what it felt like when we showed up. Brandy, the front desk lady working the night that we arrived, was very friendly, but there was just a little thing about how when no one... More

Since we travel with two kids, I had a hard time finding a B&B place in Mendocino that can accommodate us with reasonable rates (<$300/night). Most places charge $25 to 35 additional fee for each kid and don't offer two separate beds which my boy and girl preferred. I first saw Emerald Dolphin on Living Social and called them up... More

In a town that caters to a lot of tourists, this motel was a good find. We had a regular king room for a reasonable price. The layout was a bit odd--the "wet area" was enclosed but the "closet" area and the wash basin were open to the room--but the room was clean and otherwise well appointed. The bed was... More

On South Main Street, this small motel/inn was very pleasant. It was clean and well maintained. The wi-fi connection was fast! We only stayed here one night but I would return. My only complaints were that the bed was a bit soft and the shower whistled like a banshee.

I love the ocean so any time I can stay near the water, I am delighted. I have stayed at Emerald Dolphin several times over the years and have always enjoyed my stay. They recently redecorated the rooms (no more grandmother blue, thank goodness, at least in my room in the north building). The bed was one of the most... More
