The location can't be beat, but don't expect much else. It is so dated and in need of a facelift - more so than anywhere I've ever stayed. However, even so, we had a great weekend in Carmel. We could've stayed in a paper bag and still had a great time! More

This was my first trip to Carmel and I am a Ca. native! Dolphin Inn is in a nice location and easy to find. I didn't know what to expect for parking and was very pleasantly suprised to find plenty of parking in the lot. I was allowed to park there the entire time even when I was out sightseeing,... More

Look, like most in Carmel this place won't make you swoon. It is a little tatty, and could use some capital funds to upgrade the furnishings. However, the staff is very accomodating.

Very cute room with fireplace and well appointed bathroom. Nice bedding also. More

The staff is outstanding. We stayed last year and what changed this year was the breakfast that was left at our door. I can not tell you how cool that is - to have breakfast delivered to one's door! We had stayed at the Village Inn for quite a few years. When they doubled their rates, guests who had been... More

We have stayed here a couple of times over the years and this place is not fancy, but it is clean and certainly convenient to town and within walking distance to just about everything. We always try to stay in the end unit nearest the office and parts of the hotel has a 2nd story. Some of the units have... More
