I stayed at one of the patio with beach view rooms and that was pretty cool. The pool and bar area were also nice. The building itself, hallways and rooms are outdated but they will be renovating in a few weeks and I am excited to stay again when the renovations are done.

For the money, the Dolphin is worth it. You’re on the beachside of Gulf Dr. and you can walk to many places. There’s plenty of cabanas in front of the hotel on a nice stretch of beach.
