Blue Dolphin is one of my favorite places to go when I’m visiting Cambria. The staff is always amazing and the rooms are always clean and the beds are extremely comfortable. I love being on Moonstone Beach and I love all the hotels with the Cambria Inn collection the breakfast served is OK, if you’re looking for a gourmet you’re not gonna get it, but it fills the tummy to start your day. Did I say the staff is great. ?

We visit Moonstone Beach at least once a year and have never had a bad time. We've stayed at various properties and Blue Dolphin was a great place to stay. The location was excellent, the breakfast was very good and I love that they deliver it to your door. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was rather warm (fans were provided, but there was a heat wave) so I think next time we'll go ahead and pay the extra for an ocean front room. However I must say that our room was large and very comfortable. AND they have Fox Sports West, so we were able to watch the Dodger games. That was definitely a plus!
