A wonderful place to stay

I only stayed one night but the staff was friendly, and the room was comfortable and clean. The Blue Dalphin Inn is incredibly close to the ocean, so I was able to enjoy walking and watching the sun set.

What a gem this hotel is! We got the oceanfront patio room and it was wonderful. Comfortable, well-appointed, with great views and plenty of private and public outdoor seating. And the breakfast-delicious and delivered to your room! We've been to Cambria before but first time at Blue Dolphin Inn. We definitely recommend it and hope to stay there again in the future.
