Well, maybe The Venetian in Vegas was better, but this was very stylish, peaceful and had a wonderful location next to the beach. We drove to Cambria by accident and just walked in, but it was a perfect place for a one night stay, a bit pricey though. (The reason for us visiting Cambria was that someone told us there... More

We loved this hotel! The rooms were very nice ( especially for the price) and the location was great. The best part about this hotel was the service!! The hotel staff went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. They are extremely friendly and ready to help. The hotel offers free breakfast delivered directly to your room.... More

This place was lovely, one of our favourite hotels on our drive from San Diego to San Fran. The rooms were modern and well equipped with high quality equipment. Staff were very welcoming and helped us with restaurant reservations. We got an upgrade to a room with a better view as the hotel was quiet. There were some nice touches...... More

It is not the fanciest place on Moonstone Drive, but it is always, consistently, one of the best. Beautiful location...the ocean is directly across, welcoming staff, very comfortable rooms. For a little extra cost you can stay at the Cottages, same owners. Both are wonderful. Stayed here many times over the years. More

We stayed for one night here, on a mini road trip on PCH, driving from LA to SF. One of closest places you can stay if visiting the Hearst Castle (at least if driving from the South). Our room was nice and spacious, very convenient and nice. Bathroom very nice and must have been renovated recently. The free wifi worked... More

My boyfriend and I decided to take a mini road trip up to Cambria to celebrate New Years Eve. We reviewed our hotel options on TripAdvisor and decided that the Blue Dolphin Inn was the place to stay. Thank you, TripAdvisor Reviewers! We could not have been any happier with the hotel. It was the nicest hotel in Cambria. Let... More

We stayed at the blue dolphin inn in august. We were in the Saldanha Bay room which faces the ocean. The room was beautiful with a 4 poster bed and very comfortable decour. The en-suite was luxurious and spotless. We were on our honeymoon and a little wedding cake was left in the room for us which we thought was... More

The hotels on Moonstone Beach in Cambria seem pretty much the same. You have a few rooms with a beach view that are worth the price. The remainder of the rooms are ok. I have stayed at the Colibri which I prefer to this as their accommodations are newer. The Blue Dolphin has a good location in the center of... More

We had room 109 for two nights. Very quiet with a little ocean view through one window (the woman who checked us in exclaimed "look, you have a great ocean view!"). The room was nicely sized, the bathroom attractive with slate floors and a good shower head. The only negative: the in-ceiling recessed lighting uses cold-colored compact fluorescents, the type...

We stayed in one of the three cottages operated by Blue Dolphin and had a wonderful stay. The staff was friendly and helpful and the cottage was really nice and cozy. Sitting on the porch watching the sunset was another thrill. Perfect for a weekend getaway and for a visit to the Hearst Castle. Would definitively come back again. More
