I was pleased with the room as it had a microwave and a/c unit to cool down. Despite having to carry breakfast across the street, it was nice to have a quiet meal early in the morning. The hotel also provided valuable guidance on places to visit and offered Keurig cups upfront. However, the dining options could have been healthier with more variety.

I absolutely loved my stay at the Dolphin Inn & Mini Golf. The location was perfect, close to downtown Fort Bragg and Pomo Beach, making it super convenient. The room was cozy, decorated in calming colors, and I even got to enjoy some pee-wee golf. However, the dining options were a bit basic, and the breakfast had limited choices. Overall, a great place for a short beachy getaway with friendly staff and a comfortable room.
