The motel rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was super friendly. Since there is a kitchenette, it would have been nice if there was coffee provided and some basic condiments, salt, pepper, sugar etc. Would definitely stay there again.

Nobody at the office, just a phone number. It was 5pm. Impossible de trouver notre chambre. Nous avons téléphoné au numero affiché. Un agent nous a indiqué ou trouver notre chambre, non sans difficulté. La chambre indiqué était déjà occupé. La suivante n était pas prête. Finalement après avoir ouvert plusieurs portes nous avons trouvé une chambre « prête. Forte odeur d humidité a l intérieur. Literie en mauvais état, cheveux sur les draps. Oreillers et matelas sans house de protection et sales. Coin cuisine avec micro ondes sale, frigo, pas de plaque de cuisson, des casseroles sales, le reste ok. Aucun rangement (étagère, tiroir….). Chambres/appartement sans luminosité. Tous les appartements/cottages sont ouverts avec les clés sur la table a l intérieur.

Stunning view, great owner.
The island is great, the location of the hotel also. There view is stunning! There are a lot of accommodations outside (pic bic table, 4 or 5 BBQ, a shower outside, a kitchen counter, you can really cook outside). In the room, It was clean but a little sticky. A full cleanup with TSP would correct that. The Owner is great! He loves the area, he provides great recommendations. We followed all his recommendations and we have great memories.

I recently stayed at the Blue Dolphin Inn, and it was a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was inviting, and the innkeeper was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The check-in process was straightforward, although you have to drive a bit further down from the inn to reach the check-in spot, which is on the left-hand side marked by the distinctive Blue Dolphin sign. Despite this, the overall experience was fantastic, and we're already planning our next visit. We'll definitely be back to enjoy the hospitality and charm of the Blue Dolphin Inn. We want to see all the places back to its full potential there in Grand Isle. Favorite place to come as a kid.

They were friendly and easy to deal with. Everything was clean and well maintained. Beds were nice; tv in each bedroom. They made it a breeze to check in and out. I wont look any further than the Blue Dolphin.

The beach access was a highlight, the bed incredibly comfortable, and the outdoor cooking setup was fun. Place was a bit small and the couch/futon somewhat uncomfortable but really not a big deal. Enjoyable and relaxing for sure!

Cozy, well maintained rooms on the beach
These on-the-beach, cozy, elevated-off-the-ground rooms are great for casual visits. The individual rooms for sleeping in our two-bedroom had exactly enough room for one person to get into the bed, but nothing else. There was a futon-couch in the main room along with a small kitchenette there.

Great place for a getaway
The room was clean and very neat it had everything we needed for our weekend getaway. Very quiet area and everyone was super nice and friendly. Only down side is if you have someone with mobility issues this wouldn’t be a good place to stay as I didn’t see a ramp for wheel chairs or walkers. The bathroom a great size and super clean. If you’re a shortie like me you will need to jump up to get in the beds 😂 they are high so you have room to store items. I love how close you are to the beach, the fishing and swimming. Overall, it’s a great place to have a relaxing getaway with or without kids. I will be booking with them again.
