What guests say
9.2 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 855 guest reviews
Little Sur Inn earns consistently high marks for its unbeatable oceanfront location, spacious and spotlessly clean rooms, and warm, attentive staff — making it a standout choice along the Cambria coast. The main recurring gripe is the continental breakfast, which many guests found too sparse and lacking hot options, and a handful noted the absence of air conditioning and limited parking. Overall sentiment across these reviews is overwhelmingly positive, with the property's setting and comfort cited far more often than any shortcoming.
