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.

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!

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.

Nice room. Spacious and clean. Breakfast was good. They bring it to you. We walked the boardwalk and into town for lunch. We didn’t use the sun chairs the property provides to sit and look at the ocean because it was too cold. But very nice touch.
