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. More

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

The Mrs and I went to Fort Bragg for little getaway by ourselves. Wound up at the Emerald Dolphin Inn. Planned on one night, we actually spent two nights there. It's at a major intersection across from a McDonalds, but isolated enough to not notice. There is a grocery store near by with many shops (laundry, pizza, pharmacy). The Inn... More

Reasonable, clean & friendly. Had a wonderful stay in Fort Bragg. Hotel staff was friendly & had a great seafood restaurant recommendation. Close to a Fort Bragg walking history tour of the bay. Saw a dozen deer on our early morning walk. Room had all we needed for a comfortable stay on our route up Highway 1 on our motorcycle.... More

We booked a last minute trip to Mendocino and thanks to TripAdvisor found the Emerald Dolphin Inn. Prices are reasonable, neighbors were quiet, staff was really friendly and the bed was quite comfortable. We were just on the south side of town and 2 minutes away from the downtown and Glass Beach. We went on a nice run along a... More

I was raised in Fort Bragg. I go back to visit my father and we have stayed in a few hotels there this is one we have returned too. I love it. I love being able to go there after a full day of family and friends and being able to snuggle in my bed and sleep. It is quiet,... More
