My husband and I stayed here for a few nights at the beginning of June and had basically no problems. They took away breakfast a little early but there is a McDonalds next door. We could also hear traffic at night but it didn't bother us so much that we couldn't sleep at all. This hotel isn't directly on the... more

I picked this Motel because of the closeness to the beach, free beach cruisers and price. I don't require a fancy hotel but a clean one would have been nice. The minute we arrived I asked about reserving 2 bikes - oh, they don't have bikes anymore - this was advertised on the website when i made my reservations 3... more

This hotel was almost uninhabitable. I stayed there with my teenage girl who almost left when we saw the room. The only window in the room faced a busy street, and the vertical blinds would not close all the way so people could constantly see in. It was also next to the louf ice machine and a corder liquor store.... more

I booked a reservation there 5 months in advance of the Newport Beach City Birthday Bash. I booked one of the big rooms in front with the sliders. When I got there to check in, the gentleman said that room was not available. I said "I booked it months ago, and you called me to confirm it yesterday." He said... more

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

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
