Amazing location. Loved the ocean view room
The water from the tap tasted bad that I noticed later in my study that they had provided a glass container of bottled water.

Room was nice, well appointed. Location was great--right across the street from the boardwalk of sorts that was a walking path above the beach.
Breakfast was only ok. Nice to have something, but only a little better than nothing.
Also, the floor in our room and quite obviously the room above us was not carpeted. Beach location, so understandable. Unfortunately, the guest above us didn't get there steps in outside so they proceeded to walk back and forth across the room for an hour in the evening which was quite annoying given the lack of carpeting.

Here’s the updated version with that added naturally:
We stopped for a night at Little Sur Inn during our road trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and it was a great choice. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and very convenient for a short stay. We especially loved the cozy fireside in the room and the comfortable bed — perfect for resting after a long drive.
The inn overlooks the Pacific Ocean, offering an excellent view and refreshing sea breeze. It was a pity that it rained the night we arrived, but we were fortunate to enjoy the beautiful ocean view and sea breeze the next morning before checking out.
A simple breakfast was included, which was more than sufficient to start the day. Although we arrived late due to traffic and the front desk was already closed, the team had clear instructions in place. We were able to call the duty manager, who guided us on how to collect the room keys smoothly. The process was very helpful and stress-free.
Overall, a pleasant and comfortable stay — highly recommended for road trippers looking for a reliable stopover in Cambria.
Weather aside, the outdoor seating could be enjoyed more in better conditions.

EXCELLENT location. We had an ocean front room on the 2nd floor. Amazing views from glassed in balcony.
Only heat in the room is from a fireplace that's difficult to control the temperature. The room was always too hot or too cold (leaving the door ajar). Must be super HOT in summer with sun setting on the room and no AC.

Breakfast was just continental, but very good danish and beverage options. The size of the room was really good, with a full size dining table and 4 chairs. Loved the proximity to Cambria and Moonstone Beach.
There was a guest staying above that was stomping around late at night and early in the morning for both nights of our stay. I tried calling the front desk, but it was after 9 pm, so no one answered to help us.

The room was really nice. Beds were a little tall for me to get into but were extremely comfortable. Daily service of the room was excellent and we enjoyed the amenities (i.e. microwave, large refrigerator).
Breakfast was ok but a little sparce. Our friends down the road had a full breakfast room with lots of great choices.

Perfect location, just steps away from the ocean and boardwalk! Gorgeous view from our oceanfront room and patio. Spacious and clean room with a gas fireplace. Friendly staff and yummy pastries/muffins in the morning. Large comfy chairs in the room, too!
We would have preferred a firmer mattress.

The breakfast buffet was simple but had all the necessary items.

Super Clean, decent rooms. On moonstone beach. Nice staff and service
Breakfast was meh! Rooms facing Sea Chest could use black out curtains as the mini-blinds keep the room lit throughout the night

Very basic breakfast option and a little pricey
9.0 / 10.0
large room spacious bathroom well stocked with necessities. Towles were soft. I appreciate your ecological consciousness
pillows were way to soft, needed all 4 to myself to sit up in bed.
I paid the highest price to get an ocean view and really, I could only see the ocean if I sat in one specific dining chair at a table. Not a good value when I could get a regular ocean side room at a different hotel for 1/3rd the cost

Very clean rooms, comfortable bed, nice and spacious room setup, and right next to the boardwalk and ocean. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. They even have complimentary electric car charging. I would definitely stay here again!

Staff was friendly and informative. Room with an ocean view was clean and quiet. Bathroom was clean and nice. Closet space was ample. TV, fridge, coffee/and coffee maker nice, microwave good.
Continental breakfast of juices, coffee, yogurt, fruit, cereal were good. Muffins/danish from "Linns" were of a prepackaged qualilty. Went in town to The French Pastry shop which has much, much higher quality baked goods.

Beautiful spot across the street from the beach. Within walking distance of a wine bar and within a mile from downtown Cambria that has some great shops. There’s also a great sandwich place in the town. Close to Hearst Castle too.

Over 8 days of traveling & sightseeing, we stayed in 6 different hotels/motels, & Little Sur was definitely the best of all of them !
Nothing, unless you want to let us stay there for free?

We enjoyed the proximity to the beach , to the promenade, to the elephant seals and to Hearst castle. The beds and spacious room was comfortable. The breakfast was adequate but i could envision a toaster or toaster oven warming the bread/pastry as a nicer feature offering some warmed items .
All was good.

Gorgeous view. Good size room and bathroom. Comfy bed.
Breakfast was mostly pastry and sugared cereals. Wish there had been some plain toast or bagel.
Comfy bed, but the bottom sheet was too short to be tucked in and kept coming out.

Superb location with beautiful views, staff were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. Room was spotlessly clean. Comfy beds. Relaxing stop off for 2 nights whilst driving Pacific Highway from San Francisco to Santa Monica.
