We found this great hidden gem just blocks off Ocean Ave ,easy walking distance to all the good restaurants and shopping areas. The two bedroom suite we were looking for and a reasonable rate including a delightful continental breakfast delivered fresh to your doorstep in the morning. The rooms are spacious , flat screen TV's in each bedroom , fireplace... More

Large room, very clean, free off-street parking, walking proximity to town & beach. Quiet location. There were a couple of places that seemed a bit tired here and there, but since the price is great, that stuff is easy to overlook.

We stayed at the Dolphin Inn for one night while attending the Pebble Beach Pro Am Golf Tournament. The hotel has an ideal location in Carmel. They offer parking for about 80% of quests and since parking is a premium in Carmel that was a plus. The rooms were spacious, simple and clean. The continental breakfast delivered to your door...

We found out about the Inn from the Chamber of Commerce/tourist office and we loved the inn! Such a pretty, perfect, quaint & delightful place to stay - such attention to detail!

The staff on Reception are very friendly and helpful and we met up with Jinny again and it was like meeting up with an old friend. She remembered us and we had hugs. We love this place. Last year, breakfast was in... More

Let's face it, Carmel is an expensive place to stay, and while the Dolphin Inn might not be what you'd expect for the price in a less precious town, by Carmel standards it may be the best bargain in town. My room was comfortable and well appointed (right down to chilled wine glasses and a plush robe) and the staff... More

We stayed here on our roadtrip this summer, with our daughter and grand son. Check in and out went perfectly, both people I dealt with were very nice and helpful. they had coffee, and hot water for tea or hot chocolate and a bowl of apples in the lobby all the time. They also put out delicious cookies during the... More
