We spent a night at the Emerald Dolphin Inn on 7/18/08. My 13 year old loved the miniature golf & arcade after a day of sightseeing. Our dog was OK w/ the open field next door, but bigger dogs loved the open space. The room was nice, but it did have a pretty strong cigarette smell (although it was non-smoking... more

My daughter and I were on vacation and wanted to play golf at the Emerald Dolphin during our visit to Fort Bragg....but we always stayed at another motel....so, we decided to give the Emerald Dolphin a try and we were very pleased we did. The room was very reasonable. We were able to check in as soon as we got... more

Meh. There was nothing horrible about this hotel, but nothing to recommend it either. We had a room that has an odd lack of furniture (a little refrigerator doubled as a coffee table), internet wireless did not work. The exterior was great, had a lot of character. But the room was pretty so-so, the price was average, and the location... more

This hotel is one of the most pet unfriendly hotels that allows pets. Pets are not allowed to be left in the room unattended even in a kennel, Also dogs are not allowed on their putt putt golf course so if you have a dog you can't use their golf course. We were under the assumption we could bring our... more

This property is privately owned and owner-operated, and the pride of ownership shines through. The large room was extremely well-appointed (marble countertops for a $79 room rate!?!), clean, and pleasant. One of the owners was at the desk the night I stayed and offered detailed and cheerful help with everything I asked. On a pricey stretch of California coastline, an... more

We were excited it was our fist trip to Fort Bragg we took extra days off of work to enjoy our mini vacation. We stayed at the Emerald dolphinn inn which was a big mistake. They did not have HBO movie channels in the rooms like they said, the arcade/ golf course was not open the hours they said it... more

The king bed room was large and very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The location is good, just south of the Noya Harbor bridge. The 3 nights for the price of 2 nights Sunday through Thursday deal made the room a good value for me as I am retired and have week days free. The Continental breakfast was very... more

The resort was very nice. We had some very noisy neighbors upstairs. After going to the office and requesting a change in our location, the man suggested we wait a while, so we did. After waiting a while, I went back to the office and requested to be moved. I almost begged the man to move us, but he was... more

I come to Fort Bragg often and the only place I stay is at the Emerald Dolphin. It's immaculate and very comfortable. Loved the location to the ocean and mini golf next door. Friendly and helpful staff. They DO ALWAYS help with any requests I have. I would tell anyone coming to Fort Bragg or Mendocino that many higher priced... more
