Loved it!
Tyler, 1-night trip

View is amazing, the rooms were pretty decent. The patio area was a plus. Michael in the office was friendly and helpful and our check in and check out was quite fast. 5stars from me

It was very satisfying I would stay there again
Eulalia, 2-night trip

Million dollar view

This place has a million dollar view! It’s an older property with a little bit of a funky smell but view and location are perfect. If you want top of the line you can pay 10 times more down the street, but for the price you can’t beat this place.
Cynthia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Suite was very specious and clean. Wonderful ocean views in all rooms! Beach access right outside doors, close to shopping and food!
Amie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Having at least two rooms that were shower handicap accessible would be even better than just one room.

WILLIAM, 2-night trip

For the most part the hotel was really pretty perfect location however our room did have a corner of it that smelled like urine

Great Staff!

The staff at Dolphin Cove are so friendly! The hotel is definitely on the older side but can’t beat the value and closeness to the pier.
Courtney, 1-night trip

Isaac, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is absolutely amazing beachfront/steps from the pier/walking distance to downtown and even with the amazing location, Jimmy at check-in managed to be the best part of the visit. We are already planning our next stay.
Gina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved that it’s on the beach and close to everything! The only complaint I have is there’s no windows that you can open except the bathroom
Lisette, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location... office close by 9 pm at the ice machine is there. I recommended to put in other place so guest has access to the ice.

perfect, if you want to be close to the beach. staff were very friendly.
Erika, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I know it wasn’t the Motel‘s problem, but the water was contaminated throughout the five cities around so it was just uncomfortable. We couldn’t really wash or brush teeth or wash properly. The room just smelled like urine to me. It didn’t smell like that to my fiancé, but it did to me
Carol, 1-night trip

Great location and clean rooms
Holly, 2-night trip

Great location great management team! Enjoyed every moment of staying there!

When you book a room with an ocean view, it's a bit deceiving. If you're on ground level, you mostly see carsin the parking lot.
