did not like ordering meals on a QR code reader
Stayed 3 nights in May 2023
Response from Terra W - Lodging Manager on May 31, 2023
Kelly,Thank you for rating and reviewing your stay. Sorry to hear that you did not like the QR ordering. While we do encourage ordering this way for the speed and the course ordering experience, we do offer alternative options. For instance, we only implement the QR ordering in the garden patio as a more casual experience. For a traditional dining experience, you can always sit in the main dining room, parlor or bar area. We like to give options and are always here to help.

We loved the Little River Inn. The property is perfectly situated on the coast overlooking the Pacific ocean. The view from the room was stunning. The front porch is lined with rocking chairs which is a lovely place to start or end the day. The resort is special and charming. The restaurant was wonderful. The service was helpful and knowledgeable. The room was clean. Our biggest complaints are that the room was tiny for our family of 4. The cot that was kindly provided was very uncomfortable.

We had a wonderful four-day stay - loved the location, amenities and room. Little River Inn was our base camp for outings to Point Arena, Mendocino and Fort Bragg. We love travelling in the fall, and LIttle River Inn provided all the comforts of home.We will definitely return in the future.

Disappointed
Very disappointed. For the price, it was old and small. The carpet was stained. The Hotels.com description said there were microwaves in all rooms but we had to pay $10 extra for one that we had to call down for. The guy was rude about it too. Also the balconies are not private so you can have people walking by your back sliding door!

Response from Terra W - Lodging Manger on Nov 15, 2022
Jean,I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay.Unfortunately we are not in control of how our listing with Hotels.com appears on their website. We do have the microwaves listed as "upon request" and the fee. You just have to scroll down on the amenity page to find that information. I apologize for the confusion.Also, we do not list the Ocean View Traditional room as having a private balcony. We also have pictures available on Hotels.com that show this room as a shared balcony. We do our best to make sure you are fully aware of the room type and description of the room before booking. We never want our guests to have any surprises when they get here. We want you to fully enjoy your stay and for your stay to meet all expectations.

Beautiful Stay!
Amazing stay! We stayed in a double queen room in the traditional hotel w/the long balcony overlooking the ocean. Compfy beds. Nice rocking chairs on the balcony were a nice place to sit and watch the ocean, read, and relax. The bathroom is a little dated, but functional and clean. There is a full service bar and restaurant open limited hours. Room service is available during limited hours (even bar orders), and was a wonderful plus. There is a wide variety of rooms and cottages to choose from. The stay isn't cheap, but the value is good. The location is A+. We enjoyed our stay, and will be back for sure.
