Ocean wave sound all night, relaxingGreat breakfast and wine & cheese hour
DeniseRoom was so small, my husband couldn’t stand up on one side because he would have hit his head. Had to stand on bed to get my ocean view from window! Outside back patio had such a strong stench couldn’t even sit outside…

- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.

- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about The Blue Dory Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at The Blue Dory Inn?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Blue Dory Inn allow pets?
Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.
Is breakfast included at The Blue Dory Inn?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does The Blue Dory Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Blue Dory Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at The Blue Dory Inn?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book The Blue Dory Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
