We got room 8 which was on a corner and it had good views and we loved that we didn’t have to move our car to go to the pier because the pier was just around the corner. The room was clean and had extra blankets and pillows. It was a bit noisy from the people upstairs and there was also another noise that was very present, probably from the restaurant next store. Overall good hotel but if you like privacy then this is not the place because there are people walking past at all times, we had to close our curtains because people kept looking inside.

Great Staff!

The staff at Dolphin Cove are so friendly! The hotel is definitely on the older side but can’t beat the value and closeness to the pier.
