We stay at the D/R everytime we come to St. Pete.
Last September we choose this hotel and we were not disappointed!
The room we had (pool and ocean veiw) was spotless! The drapes were as if they were brand new and everything sparkles. I don't understand why others here always say it is dirty because I have never seen anything that wasn't ...

We made a short stop in St Pete Beach after a long cross country trip and liked the hotel beach front location, the fact the hotel was built in the 50's and quite a few guests were senior citizens so we felt the hotel would be quiet and safe. We were wrong!!

The rooms are old and evidence of smoke and mustiness. Curtains at patio door ...

My family and I stayed at the Dolphin during a family reunion. From the moment that we checked in it was all down hill. The hotel was very musty and out dated. The bathroom facilities did not work properly. We could not use the sink because the fixture broke. We called the front desk about it but no one came to fix it. We were there for 2 days and ...

I remember staying at the Dolphin Beach Resort in 1997, in a 1st floor room that opened on to the beach. It was clean and quiet, and I remember it being a pleasant experience. 10 years later, I am throughly disappointed. We had another room in the first floor, this time facing the street. The first thing that greeted our nosees upon opening the ...

My wife and I stayed at the Dolphin for a weekend getaway to celebrate both of our birthdays. I reserved a first floor room that opened up onto the beach but when we arrived to check in, they told us at the front desk that it was just a request; they couldn't guarantee it! Once I demanded the room I reserved, the hotel decor was dated inside ...

I stay in St. Pete two or three times a year. The Dolphin was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed at on the beach. Our room was one of the most expensive. However, there was mold on the bathroom ceiling, the toilet did not flush properly, and the air conditioner unit was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think. The hallways smelled of ...

I have stayed at the Dolphin four or five times over the past few years. My family uses it as central location to visit my Dad who spends the winter in Florida. This is not the Hotel Danieli in Venice believe me, but it has several positive features - the rooms are a good size and the beach front rooms are great - kids can walk right out to the ...

Had the displeasure of staying here in May 2006. Room was dirty with stains on bedspreads and floor and smelled very musty and moldy. Homeless person's cart was parked outside the access door leading to our room. That access door was propped open 24 hours a day, with a piece of old wood, so virtually anyone could walk into the interior ...
