The Dolphin Inn

Such a cute hotel in a beautiful location!

The Pacific Motel is a pearl. Fresh, stylish and friendly. Charming hosts. Unfortunately, Cayucos can't quite keep up. But the motel is worth a stay.

Friendly welcome from Ryan the Surf. Loved the marine/coastal-themed rooms which reminiscent of a design hotel. Some beautiful looking Taschen coffee table books such as the History of Skateboarding and local handsoaps are quality touches in the residences. A quick pint of IPA in the Salty Tiger with a gallimaufry of local characters in tow, led to cracking conversations about viticulture and Ireland and, naturally, more sampling of the draught. Some very cool snapbacks in display throughout. The Pacific Motel has the best branding font I have ever seen on a hotel trucker’s cap. Boom! Just book it.

It’s nicely updated and in walkable distance to the beach, cute shops, and local restaurants. I had a comfortable king size to slumber in. The only thing is that the walls are thin so you can hear the conversations of your neighbors. The latch on my bathroom door didn’t work.

Love everything about this hotel and the owners were around and super nice
