Little Inn By The Bay Newport Beach Hotel, Newport Beach

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were modern and comfortable, but not quite the beach inn vibe I was hoping for. The service was attentive and caring, although there were a couple of hiccups. The location was convenient but a bit noisy between busy roads. Dining options were lacking, but the facilities were decent overall.

The hotel's location is fantastic, steps away from the beach and within walking distance of great restaurants. The rooms, though cozy, face a noisy street with bright lights at night. Despite this, they are quiet, clean, and modern. The service was pleasant, but there were missed opportunities for extra assistance. The bustling location, while convenient, can be loud due to street traffic. Overall, a great value for a clean and modern hotel near the beach.

The hotel is in a convenient location within walking distance to many attractions, such as the beach boardwalk and restaurants. The rooms were initially lacking amenities but received an upgrade to a nicer room upon persistence. However, the bottom floors are not preferable for future stays. The service was attentive and caring, though housekeeping could use improvement. The location is excellent for those wanting to be near everything in Newport Beach, but it can be quite loud with street traffic. The dining offered was satisfactory, including cookies, adding a small beneficial touch.

My stay at the motel-style hotel wasn't exactly the beach inn experience I was hoping for. The rooms were clean and very comfortable, with wonderful bedding and a great shower. However, some aspects of the service felt questionable, like when someone took a photocopy of my husband's credit card, which seemed dodgy at best. On the upside, we did eventually get an upgrade to a nicer room with some persistence. The location was excellent, within walking distance of everything Newport Beach has to offer.
