The room was lovely nice welcome gift of cookies. Clean and comfy bed. Only disappointment was the breakfast. Didn’t realise it would be delivered to our room. Would have much preferred going to sit down in a proper breakfast room. The choice was also limited. If you don’t like eggs you were left without much choice.

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.

Love the comfort of the room & the wonderful location. Staff has been friendly &helpful. Don’t care for the breakfast delivery in brown bag & no fresh milk for coffee. One other point is that if we have to eat in our room, the chairs should be easy to move to the table & they currently are not!
