Terrible experience
Our room was facing a busy road and directly outside the door was a very bright light and vending machines. The draperies did not block the light. The room smelled like mildew. Do not stay here.

Room was clean and people were nice and responsive. But heat did not work (they gave us a portable), and wi-fi didn’t work

Golfing not free if you book with hotels.com
The staff was very helpful and kind. Genuinely friendly. The room was clean and they provided additional items as needed. I thought that putt putt golf was included in the stay, but was advised that since we booked through Hotels.com and not through the hotel directly that we would have to pay for golf. I wasn’t expecting that. That was a bummer. It’s kind of why I selected this hotel.

Delighted
I was very pleased by my experience. My room was up to date with decor and furnishings, the towels were fluffy, the shower was hot with plenty of water pressure, the bedding was pristine and comfortable, and everything was very clean. I would be delighted to come back anytime.

This is an older property that needs to be better maintained and updated. The staff is friendly and helpful. It lacks amenities and the walls are quite thin. It's not a bad property but it not the quality of the experience l want when traveling. The town of Ft. Bragg doesn't offer much.

OK. Accommodation was fine, but breakfast options were limited in the area, so we drove 15mins down the road to Mendocino.

We arrived at the property late at night and rang the doorbell. A friendly staff member helped us out quickly and we got our room keys in less than 5 minutes. The room is old school, but who cares, we were just going to sleep there.

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.

There was no dining on the property. The bedding was clean as was the bathroom. Carpets were a little shabby. The motel was fine but a little expensive for what you get. I was in the area on business so I did not use the miniature golf, which might be a perk for families.
