I have referred friends to this place and its great. You cannot go into this expecting 4 or 5 star accomodations, but if you really like quaint and close to everything than this is a perfect spot. I use the bikes and take walks or runs, its perfect for the one who likes to work out. more

the room was basic but had everything you would need. it was clean and had a good size bathroom and comfy beds. it was excellently located 1 minute walk from the beach and a couple of minutes walk from the pier and bars/restaurants. it is on the corner af a few busy roads but when the windows were closed in... more

This place is awful. I was told that it was on the beach, and it's not. It's on a very busy street with a liquor store next door. The front desk person was rude and not truthful about the price. We were quoted $120, but had to pay $160 because we shortened our reservation. The room was small and seemed... more

I flew out to California from New Jersey to attend a wedding in Newport and had booked a stay at the LIttle Inn by the Bay months in advance. I based my decision on price and location and even referred the hotel to 3 other couples who were attending the wedding as well. However, when we arrived at the hotel... more

We negotiated a price with the front desk, which was a feat in itself as the receptionist was difficult to understand and seemed more preoccupied with something on his computer screen. The pier and beach was a 10minute walk away, but other than that there seemed to be little else to recommend of this area. I guess being out of... more

This is the worst motel i have stayed in. The rooms are old,dirty and smelly too. The staff seem not to care about our inconviniences. Quite rude i would say. We asked for directions and front desk didn't even know where she was. We were offered COLD muffins. Bike were okay. The motel needs urgent remodeling... more

The room was clean, the staff was very friendly and although the room was small, we still had room for my daughter's porta-crib. Very nice to have a fridge and microwave in the room too. The location is the best selling point though - literally a short walk to the beach! People who gave this little inn a bad review... more

Found this hotel via the AAA website. I was going on a budget trip (accomodation wise) and found this little gem of a place - for the price. My friend and I frequent costa mesa/newport. My friend had previously stayed at the travellodge, for about the same price -$100. I stayed there one night, then went to the little inn... more

Okay, it is small. BUT just think. The ocean is in walking distance. You can walk to balboa. The bay is to your left and the ocean is to the right. Many nice resturants. You can leave your car there at the hotel and walk arounnd. At first when we got there we were like... Um, are you serious. But... more
