Blue Dolphin Inn

Nice and clean. Easy set up. Spacious family suites, clean bathroom and shower/tub. Cute breakfast restaurant on site. Nice pool, nice woodsy area out back! They were very accommodating for some last minute changes I had to make to my reservation. Would recommend and book again!

We needed to stay in a hotel for a night before we had access to our vacation rental. We have been a part of Wellfleet for decades, now that we are older than dirt, we vacation here. I wanted a simple place and tried The Blue Dolphin. For me, the place is filled with memories of families staying for their vacation, swimming in the pool, and eating at the restaurant. (The present restaurant gets rave reviews, but we got croissants from PB Boulangerie. We had a breakfast picnic outdoors, and it was lovely. Our room, 124, was in the back, and perfectly quiet. The bathroom was updated, and clean, but had an old fashioned high up jalousie window that I loved. The beds were fine. Everything was fine. The parking lot this morning is filled with cars from NY, NJ, Missouri, Mass. I'd stay again in a heartbeat.

This is one of a number of similar motel-style properties along Route 6 on the way to Provincetown. They are all variations on a theme, offering budget accommodation, at a price which reflects this. Visited in May 2025 and there were very few guests, due to it not being peak season. Therefore it was quiet and the rooms are set back far enough from the road that there was no noticeable/excessive road-related noise. The welcome on arrival was very generic: neither friendly nor unfriendly, so nothing to really report there. The room itself was a little tired but generally as described - definitely not 5* accommodation but then it is not marketed as such. Some minor issues included: being unable to get the shower to work, a couple of towels had (what appeared to be) make-up stains on and the room was very warm on arrival. A lick of paint and some improved lighting would not go amiss in refreshing and uplifting the room somewhat. The door to the room, while it did shut, was clearly not flush with the doorframe so this would be draughty on a cold night. (It didn’t look like it would take much to kick the door in from the outside, so this is a consideration for those who are very security conscious.) Overall this property served its purpose for a 1 night stay and the price paid (approx $80, mid-May 2025) was reasonable. However staying for an extended period may be a little depressing as it is quite isolated and requires a trip in the car to the nearest amenities etc. Unable to comment on how this compares to other options along Route 6 but suspect they are all pretty similar, so find the one with the things you need at a price you’re willing to pay would be our advice.

Always well kept and great family owned business

Great clean)

Cottage-like atmosphere Pleasantly surprised with this cottage-like motel. Loved that all rooms are ground floor and have a private little patio. Roomy. Convenient to areas of interest I like a firm mattress but this mattress was not the most comfortable. Used washcloth hanging in the shower when we arrived. Heater was very noisy.
