Review Guidelines
Basic Review Guidelines:

Your review should focus on specific aspects of the business you are reviewing. Do not simply state you liked or disliked the business - be specific.

The best reviews include not only whether you liked or disliked a business' products or service, but also why.

DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS!

Do not mention competing company names in your reviews. Focus on the company you are reviewing, and if you wish, leave a review about the other companies on their directory listings.

Do not comment on other reviews - respect their position and write your own, but do not argue with others.

Do not use profanity or post spiteful remarks.

Do not write a review that is less than 50 words in length. The goal of a review is to share your experiences with a particular company - very short reviews do not accomplish this.

Do not post phone numbers, email addresses or URLs.

Do not post inflammatory reviews - stop and put yourself in the shoes of the owner of the business you are posting about.

Do not post many reviews about one business. Doing this will cause all of your reviews to be deleted.

Remember, you are responsible for your words.

it is what it is
By an NCBeaches Guest on 5/30/2007
most of the other reviews are accurate - this is indeed an old motel that needs renovation. but its in a great area and is extremely affordable ($150 is affordable for peak season in the OBX) - especially with limited pet-friendly options in the nag's head area. its right on the beach and close to restaurants and attractions. the SUPER friendly and accomodating staff makes up for the basic rooms and pool area. i'd recommend it if you're a low-maintanence person just looking for a place to crash in-between beach and outdoor fun.

Not Fancy, Just Bare Necessities
By a Guest Reviewer
The Dolphin is one of the oldest motels in Nags Head. Yes, it is quaint that way, it is also small and worn that way. Can't be on the Outer Banks that long and not have been flooded from time to time and battered by hurricanes.

But, with that being said, if you are a bare necessities traveler, The Dolphin will work. It's on the beach. Central to Nags Head and Manteo. It's clean, and the staff is full of southern hospitality. I once was traveling to stay here and got held up in gridlock on the Baltimore Beltway, I called the staff at The Dolphin and they accomodated my late after hours check in. Great people.

A good place all in all. Note: Not fancy at all. Just Bare Necessities.

I like it!
By a Guest Reviewer
I have been staying at the Dolphin at least once a year for about 4 years now. I love it. It really has the look and feel of Old Nag's Head (which I'm sorry I missed!) The people running it are really friendly and quick to help if there is a problem. The location is outstanding. Right on the beach. And the fact that my dog can stay with me now is great! No little shampoos or hairdryers in the wall, but plenty of clean towels and daily housekeeping. I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Not good for kids, pets or elderly
By a Guest Reviewer
We stayed at the Dolphin and the room had a serious mold issue. The air conditioning drained into the room. The toilet was not securely bolted to the floor. The office staff were dishonest and strait out lied to us when we had an issue. I suggest you pay in cash if you stay here and keep your receipt.

good choice if you are traveling with a dog
By a Guest Reviewer
From the shower to the room to the parking everything about this motel is small and old.The staff are friendly and hard working.The location is excellent.Ask for a room in which the carpet has been removed as the motel was flooded in a storm last year.If you have a portable air cleaner,take it with you. Overall this is a good choice if you are traveling with your pets and just need a place to sleep and shower.It's close to everything.
