“Our dog loves this place as much as we do!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

This isn't an inexpensive motel by any means, more like little cottages, especially if you travel with your pet. They have wood burning fireplaces, a small kitchenette, decks, spectacular ocean views from many of the units and very friendly staff. You can take a private path over to Van Damn Park and take walks and hikes from there, or scoot across the road to the beach and watch the birds foraging where the river meets the ocean. The on site restaurant is great, and you have a golf course at your fingertips!!! What more can you ask for? Hope for sunshine as opposed to fog which is pretty prevalent for the area. But, that is why everything is so lush and green, even during a winter that has been pretty dry.

Room Tip: I would rather not have the units closest to the road, but there are only two of them so just ask.

“They did it again!”

Little River Inn is by far one of the best hotels on the entire West Coast. We had not been at Little River for awhile. My wife and I needed a quick get-a-way as we only live 1.5 hours away. The rooms, food and beverages are the best. Good quality products, selection of menu items and very well prepared. The staff is outstanding and we always especially Susan in the bar. She is effecient, friendly and always has a smile on her face, even when she is very busy. Little River Inn offers very good value.........you just cannot beat it. Yes, the views are exceptional.

“Location, location, location! A million dollar view.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

Spent 3 nights last week and it was phenomenal. Since the weather was so beautiful (in the high 60's and sunny) that added to it. The rooms like right out onto the ocean about 200 yards away so the view was exceptional. The rooms were a tiny bit "tired" but it does look like they are doing some renovations. I had a wood burning fireplace with limitless wood..As the evening got cold the fire was wonderful. Two chairs and a table just inside the picture windows and chairs on the deck outside made it perfect for reading a book, watching the fire, or staring out into the ocean. If there HAD been whales, I would have seen them from the room. Highly recommend this place as one for a personal or couples retreat. Also had a facial in their spa by Laurie -- which was heavenly. Only 2 miles to Mendocino for daily jaunts or a little activity. I'll be back!

Room Tip: The single story rooms get more sun.

“Beautiful Setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We arrived just as the sun was going down and we had the perfect sunset over the ocean to enjoy from the deck off our room. The views were fantastic. We loved our extra large room. It was very comfortable and had ample sitting area and lighting for reading and a small bistro table to eat our breakfast at the next morning. Loved the large spa tub and the fireplace worked to perfection. The bed and bedding was excellent and we had a great sleep each night. The only improvement we would have liked is to have a breakfast provided in the cost. Little River is very deserving of the outstanding reviews.

“A perfect family vacation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

Just got back from a family reunion , where we stayed at Little River Inn. The view from our porches was spectacular, the food in the restuarant was great and all the staff was very friendly and make the vacation special for us all.
Definitely a do again vacation!

Room Tip: Ask for the second floor suites- they have a better view of the waves
