What a gem this hotel is! We got the oceanfront patio room and it was wonderful. Comfortable, well-appointed, with great views and plenty of private and public outdoor seating. And the breakfast-delicious and delivered to your room! We've been to Cambria before but first time at Blue Dolphin Inn. We definitely recommend it and hope to stay there again in the future.
