It was a nice stay and we would come back again. I wish they offered a microwave and the fridge was loud but overall a nice trip.

Had room 117 which was the very end of the block. Road noise +++. Wouldn’t be relocated to another room. Told it would become quieter after 8pm or so. The room itself was ok and bed comfortable.
Better places to stay than this.

Beautiful stay at Fort Bragg
We loved our stay and the area around it was nice for walking the dog. Also at the end of the road where hotel was we found a beautiful cliff area for walk and photos.
I think you had a nice tub/shower combo which I liked.

The room doesn’t have AC. It was a bit warm but the bed was comfortable. The room was very roomy. It’s right off the highway so quick access to Main Street.

The front-desk person at check-in and check-out was professional, helpful, and polite.
The room was quiet, clean, well appointed, and comfortable.
My stay at the Emerald Dolphin Inn was an exceptionally good experience.
I give my Thanks to the staff and management of this inn.

It’s a good location, not my favorite stay because the heating didn’t work and if you were there during the day you could hear what sounded like elephants on the roof, we stayed on the second floor, no one was supposed to be above us. The tub was the best part.
