“A Great Little Find”

Little Sur Inn

4 of 5 stars
Northern California
Dec 2, 2007

Tried to book during Thanksgiving week, but the direct website said there was a 2 night minimum. I booked a single night through Expedia or Orbitz without a problem.

There are lots of hotels/motels on this stretch of beach in Cambria. It is very beautiful here, so it's no wonder. I did not find the area to be overcrowded, although it could be in the summertime.

The Little Sur Inn was a delightful place. There was a light afternoon snack and a continental style breakfast in the morning. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were slightly larger than a normal hotel room.

If you are into exercise, there is a great boardwalk right out the door that goes for about a mile along the coast. Lots of folks running and walking out there.

My only advice is to make sure you book a room in the "upstairs" section. There are about 5 rooms downstairs, and the noise from above can be disturbing. Also, the window of these rooms look right out at parking lot level.

The town of Cambria seems to be very quaint. I can imaging this is what Carmel must have been like before turning into a tourist trap. I wish we had more time to walk around this charming town and try out some of the restaurants.

“A lovable place at an affordable price”

Little Sur Inn

5 of 5 stars
Mola di Bari, Italy

0/1 found this review helpful

I stayed at the Little Sur Inn for a night, having booked a room 15 days in advance and paying 128 $ (tax included, continental breakfast included).
The hotel is just along the Moonstone Beach Drive, not in the town centre but a few feet from the seashore. A couple of nice and good restaurants are in the premises of the hotel and their kitchens stay open until 10pm.

There is a not-attended private parking just outside the building. Only 4 or 5 of the about 20 rooms of the hotel - more costly than mine – have a view of the ocean.

My room - and I suppose all ones - had very clean and new carpets and high-quality furniture: two wooden queen beds covered by white, clean bedspreads; a round table with four padded chairs; a little fridge and a coffee-machine, a chest of drawers, a built-in wardrobe with an iron and a board. To set the room temperature I intuitively used the wonderful fireplace (all rooms have one). The bathroom with marble tiles was wide and very clean, and the quality of bath supplies excellent.
The only drawback I found is due to the fact that the room was in the basement and there was not enough privacy without closing the roller curtains.

The continental breakfast was good, even though I had to clear the table by myself (this is different from the European standard). The lady at the front-desk very helpful and nice and I spent no more than a minute for the check-in and the check-out.

“OK Beachfront Motel”

Little Sur Inn

3 of 5 stars
Charlotte
Aug 6, 2007

NIce location on Moonstone Beach, but there are only a couple of rooms with a good ocean view. Despite the B & B promotion, this is essentially a small. older motel, whose rooms have been reconditioned to be reasonably comfortable, with nice fireplaces, etc. We tried to check in an hour before check-in time, but they said no rooms were available yet, so we went off to visit the Hearst Castle, and when we got back, the only available room was the handicap room (farthest from the beach). Handicap rooms are just not as comfortable for non-handicapped people. The afternoon hors d'oeuvres are nice, and the continental breakfast decent. We paid $180 for the room, certainly not a bargain given the accommodations. Overall, a decent place, but not outstanding.

    • Disliked — Room not what we really wanted; ocean view was poor

“Renovated beautiful hotel, a bit pricie though”

Little Sur Inn

5 of 5 stars
los angeles
Jul 27, 2007

This is a very beautiful updated hotel with beautiful views of the ocean. We stayed at one of the full ocean views for $265. A bit pricie but if you're want to go very special, the price is worth it. We actually saw the partial views and they do look nice and you can actually see the ocean from them. becareful with other hotels we saw nearby where they were so far away from the ocean it seemed hard their partial views could really give a partial view of the ocean. LIttle sur inn had excellent customer service and very friendly. They continental breakfast is much more and their pastries are excellent along with many more goodies! They also have an excellent afternoon snacks delicatessen! I would personally like to commend the front person Bob, because he was sooo courteous and helpful!!!! He was pleased to help us find the best restaratns in cambria as well as other attractions. My only recommendation woudl be that i wish little sur in woudl offer discounted prices during the weekday as other hotels do.
