Blue Dolphin Inn

Driving up to our hotel, Blue Dolphin Inn, the first thing we noticed was how close we were from the beach. The waves sounded sweet and the air was fresh. When we entered, we were greeted by friendly staff that personally took us into the room to explain to us how to use all the appliances and amenities. Our room was equipped with a flat screen TV, spacious bathroom, robes and complimentary take-home slippers, a large comfy bed, coffee and tea, 1 cozy fireplace, and 2 complimentary mint-chocolate chip cookies. For this hotel, it was the little things that made the space so cozy and welcoming. There was even a notebook in our room filled with journal entries from previous guests describing their pleasurable experience.

We would recommend this hotel for those traveling solo or with families who prioritize comfort and coziness for your overnight stays. One of our favorite parts of the experience was the delicious complimentary breakfast you receive early morning. You are able to choose from a checklist of items you’d like in your entree and they custom make a dish for each guest. Their attention to detail and overall excellent customer services made our stay in San Simeon that much more special.
