My family has been staying at the Emerald Dolphin Inn for over 15 years. Great dog friendly hotel with great prices. Will stay there again in the future.

We chose the property because it was dog friendly and boy... we were not disappointed. Not only did they provide our furry family member treats, they also provided a directory of dog friendly restaurants, sights and services. Additionally, central and convenient location.Highly recommend!

A perfect stay — our room was clean and comfortable, parking was a breeze, mini golf was SO MUCH FUN for adults and toddlers alike, and the owner/operators (I think?) were absolutely lovely and above-and-beyond helpful. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice place to stay. A little dated but overall very comfortable. No microwave and the fridge never turned on. Other than that it was fine. The family enjoyed mini golfing next door and the front desk staff was very friendly.

We were in Ft. Bragg for a family wedding. The Emerald Dolphin Inn was clean, comfortable and the room was very, very nice. The location was just across the street from a grocery store which was very convenient.

Quaint family owned motel. Cute and fun little mini golf course attached and video games from the 80’s.

Rolled into Fort Bragg CA with no Hotel plans and knowing nothing about the place relayed on Hotels.com and we were not disappointed. Upon checking in the desk person was very nice and accommodating. Our room was clean, quite, overall great. He shared things to do and see and a great breakfast place called “David’s” home cooked style. Oh yes there is a miniature golf & arcade across the parking lot that was super fun for our whole family.

We loved the mini golf course. And the Bounce House for the kids. Our Room was comfortable.... Enjoyed the Lobby Gift Shop! And we drove down by the Ocean Front. The cleanliness of the beds and room.
