Strong drinks and comfy bed
3 star hotel.
Bedding and bed was the best feature along with their strong drinks.
The facility was clean and the staff was nice. The staff is only there for a limited time each day. The one side of the hotel has a lot of noise from the road and the other has a lot of noise from bands. If you like to party, this is your place. If you are looking for peace and quiet, I’d look elsewhere.
This is my second year staying at this property. It is clean, comfortable and the customer service is excellent. The pool is well kept and heated. The onsiteTiki Hut bar/restaurant has great food and we really enjoyed the live music. We will return and recommend the Dolphin Key to others.
Quaint and original vintage 1960s motel. Large, clean rooms. Easy parking. No elevator.
Meghan was great and arranged late check in.
The tiki bar is a lot of fun and we enjoyed the live band and had good food. The music is loud and right downstairs so be warned if you’re early birds but it was all closed up before 11pm.
Meghan was so welcoming. No hitches. The only thing I would change was the towels. They were too small and rather thin. But on the whole this was an excellent stay. I would recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Nice for the money, but temper your expectations.
Nice accomodations for the money. Really small TV with only Roku. We had to log into our home account to watch any TV unless you wanted to watch reruns of Perry Mason. We don't watch much TV but this was abit anoying.
The stay was great and I would recommend this property for anyone who is looking for a no frills, clean and affordable. I stay mostly in higher end properties but this was a golf trip with my son. Perfect in and out (we parked right outside our door) and spent the money we saved on nicer golf courses in the area. There is great food all around I will stay again
The building clearly shows its age and no longer meets modern standards. The facilities are outdated, with several issues: the windows do not close properly due to damaged seals, the water in the sink drained very slowly, and the air conditioning was excessively loud, making it difficult to relax. Overall, the property is in need of renovation
The room was clean but the hotel is older and there was a strong mildew odor. I was unable to stay due to a mold allergy. I wish I could have used this hotel since the location was great and the pool and tiki bar looked inviting.
Older motel with great upkeep. Only addition would be to have a microwave in the room. The restaurant tiki bar had wonderful food and service staff. Would definitely stay again!
