A Little Inn with big prices for such a poor maintained, roach crawling hotel. Double parking is a nightmare as nobody at the reception knows who is a guest and who is not, so anybody can park at the hotel and block your car. I was at the check-out at 11 am but waited till 1:30 pm to find the... more

The location is great, but that is all this place has going for it. Our stay started by checking into a room with an empty soup can and a half eaten bowl of soup on the kitchen counter. There were dirty towels in the bathroom and the bathroom trash hadn't been emptied. There was mold around the A/C vents in... more

I was duked by the internet pictures. We were in room 13 and it smelled awfully moldy although the room had been renovated. The ventilation was poor. Outside the facilities were not that clean and needed renovation. The chairs at the pool were dirty with the pillows were sitting out in the elements all the time. The windows screens were... more

The name is cute and evokes a bygone era. The place is squallid, dirty beyond imagination, poll as cloudy as the louisianna marshlands, the clients are a nuiscance to the help, especially the abnoxious housekeeper that pushes you out of the room, there are cigarette butts all over the patio, the "continental" is a joke, the TV is hooked up... more

Very good location, good ocean view but terrible customer service. They did not give us the room front door key and we were waiting one hour at night for the security to open the door becuase they don't have any person in charge at nigth. Later we couldn't sleep for the noise and at the end they charged my credit... more

I stay at A Little Inn every 3-4 weeks on business. I stay there because I can excercise on the beach in the morning and evening, and it is a quiet pleasant little place to stay. Like I have said before, it is not the Ritz, but the rooms are clean, the staff is nice, and it is steps from... more

There are many mixed reviews for this inn, but I personally thought that this place is well worth the money. Their staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Their furniture is not new and updated, but everything is in working condition. It is right on the beach which was great and they provided beach chairs. There is little selection for breakfast,... more

How dissappointed we are!! I had even looked at the reviews off this place, I can not believe how there was mold on the air vents in the bedroom and also living space. How on earth do they get away with charging $169 per night!! Even the pull out couch (that my daughter was going to sleep on) had a... more

We have been staying at the Little Inn for the past nine years with the exception of last year, our stays have been great. Our new Manager and his staff were overly friendly, made us forget about the last years experience. Rooms were upgraded, staff was more than helpful with any small problems that arose. If you are looking for... more
