Check-in was quick. The room was acceptably spacious and clean, matching my expectation. It had fridge and microwave, so I walked to the Safeway a few blocks away, and that took care of my meals during my stay (3 days). Location is convenient to nearby beaches, Newport and Balboa. I spent a morning to walk all the way to Balboa and come back before checking out. I didn't rent car, so I used Orange County Transit Bus. Highway 1 is like 20-30 min casual walk away. Not very convenient, but the neighborhood is safe, so the stroll was pleasant. Once you hop on the bus, it takes you up or down the Hwy1, so it is very convenient. Another bus has a station 1 block away but not taking you along the Hwy1. Presumably I could take buses (not direct, bus transfers needed) back to the airport, but the bus closest to the hotel doesn't run on weekends, and hauling my luggage to take the Hwy1 bus is not practical; I had to use Lyft.

I like the location of the room. The décor of the room. I like you had a balcony and a hot tub. The young lady at the front desk was very nice and she even knew my friend. We had a birthday there and does every year and goes there during the year. She recognized him which I thought was pretty cool.

The only complaint was when I walked barefoot did the room. My feet were kind of black from dirt. So I had to get a towel and wipe my feet before putting on socks and shoes.

Room was a little small but for an overnight stay for a couple, it worked out just fine. Liked the balcony and the weather wasn't too cold, so we spent most of the time out there. Nice tv and comfortable bed. Pricing was fair and walking distance to restaurants.

The bathroom had some areas that weren't cleaned well. From the photo on booking.com, the room looked as if it was suppoed to have a separate spa tub in the room, next to the tv; however, we had a jetted bathtub instead. One of the lights in the room was flickering, so the room wasn't well lit but again, we spent most of the time on the balcony anyway. Parking was a little tight since it was a small inn.

Great location on the Balboa peninsular within walking distance to the beach, bars and restaurants. A lovely beach vibe to the area and the Little Inn was just that, fitting well into its surroundings with parking on site.

The Inn is between 2 busy roads so take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. A 200 dollar deposit was taken which took longer than it should have to be refunded after check out.

Location is steps away from the beach. My husband and I grabbed a cup of coffee and pastry from the donut shop across the street the morning of our check out (one night stay only)!and enjoyed them on the beach. A quick walk and relaxing retreat. The property is older so it is small, but there were no amenities we were without.

I’ve read reviews where guest complained of noise. The location is located on a busy street frequented by cruisers and beach revelers. They were not bothersome as I anticipated we’d experience the same. The evening was quiet, the activity on the streets do significantly slow down, and we were visiting during the heart of spring break. Guest reviews also complain the rooms were too small. This is not a resort. This is an Inn. A little Inn as the name of the property implies. We checked in fully aware after researching the property and its location. The Inn met our needs perfectly and was a great price for a weekend getaway with the beach so easy to access.

Great location close to ocean, pier, bars and restaurants. All within easy walking distance. It was also spotlessly clean and bed was very comfortable.

My air-conditioning unit was perhaps a little noisy but didn’t impact my stay. The hotel is on a busy (ish) street so if you plan to stay in your room all day then you might find it a little noisy.

The location was great, close to restaurants, shops and not too far from the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful! The room had been recently refreshed also.

The heater/cooler in the room was older. It did work but it had trouble keeping a level temperature, but everything else was great so who could complain ! We did have to pay to park but it was reasonable and worth it.

Location is great! Walking distance to Newport pier, restaurants and bars. Room was small but very clean and comfortable. Perfect for a couple. Could hear traffic from street as it is right next to window but just left the tv on and it was not a problem. Slept great! Didn't get a chance to borrow the bikes or beach gear but nice to know it was available.

Charge for parking kind of sucked...I get that it's the beach but when you are a guest at the hotel and they have their own parking it would be nice to not have to pay. But not a deal breaker, would definitely stay here again!

Room was small, no place to set up your luggage, Cockroach walked across the center of the bed spread within 15 minutes after arrival. Floor never got swept in 4 days. Front desk not manned at night.

Move above statements here.

I loved the amenities of the room since it had a very comfortable bed, a refrigerator and a microwave (which is rare). The location was awesome to get a break from work. You can walk to the beach, the pier, tons of restaurants, just really nice.

I really have no complaints except that if you check in early, there is no secure place to store your luggage.
