Excellent accommodations for people and dogs. Nice sized room with 2 Queen Beds, one for us and one for our dog. They even had a special sheet to cover the extra bed and a dog bone treat. The floors were hardwood, not carpet so if there was an accident it would have been easy to clean up. There is a... More

I was looking for an inexpensive getaway and I definitely got that at the EDI in Ft. Bragg! The room was small but it was clean, fairly comfortable, and had free wi-fi - all at a great price! The staff at the front desk were also very pleasant to talk to while getting a cup of coffee and danish in... More

Our first stop on our way up to the Redwood Forest. Very convenient and a great location. Unfortunately the weather was bad and we weren't able to enjoy the mini-golf course located adjacent to the hotel. Quick, easy check in. We had our dog with us and they are very pet friendly. Simple, clean and comfortable room for one evening.... More

My daughter and grand-daughters treated me to a weekend in Fort Bragg at the end of September for my birthday. We had a wonderful stay at the Emerald Dolphin and are already making plans to return next year. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. The staff was very helpful and we enjoyed every minute. We had one occasion to... More

Not bad for the money, but broken heater and unable to refrigerate groceries Probably would rate a 4, but no heat or refrigerator 3 for October, I would change to a 2 if it was November or later.

We are sorry to hear that this guest had trouble with their room. Unfortunately, if we are not made aware of a problem when it occurs, we don't have the opportunity to fix it. In this case, it would have been as simple as reading the directional signs for the appliances, or calling the front desk for instruction. More

My hubby and I stayed here using the skunk train package(two nights+two train tickets) which was quite a good deal for such a vacation area in Summer time. The entrance of motel was a little tricky to find, but the reception was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. It is close to retaurants, grocery store, gas station....... More

This is a wonderful little hotel on the West side of Highway 1 in Fort Bragg, CA. Very clean, and many upgrades inside. We had a room on the upper floor so we were able to leave the window open at night and listen to the bouy's ding and some wind chimes all night. Some light traffic noise but not... More

We just stayed at the Emerald Dolphin Inn motel and it was good value for the expensive area. I called the hotel directly and a very nice and helpful Kim gave me a slightly better deal than Priceline and the hotel's own website. Our room was toward the back of the building, away from the street so it was fairly... More

We chose this hotel because of the good reviews. It was our first trip to Fort Bragg and seeing that it could be a little cool in the evenings and after a 5 hour drive we were hoping that the room would be nice enough that we wouldn't mind staying in just to relax and watch a movie. Nothing fancy... More
