Couple Getaway
It was a nice hotel. The bed was comfortable and it was right across from the beach. There's no breakfast offered at the hotel, but there's place that offers breakfast and coffee nearby. The only problem was housekeeping didn't do a great job with a couple of small things. Overall it was a nice stay.

Nice stay at Pelican Inn
Great stay; helpful staff: amazing view from our oceanfront room. The only drawback (and it’s small) is they couldn’t get the fireplace to work. Would have been great anbiance. Loved our stay.

No Glam Just Comfort
My husband and always stay at Pelican. Love the convenience of the hotel and the sunsets are amazing. We try and book the patio rooms for a better view. Worth the extra money. However, the rooms are just OK. No frills. The beds and pillows are extra comfy. Rooms seem outdated and the bathrooms never seem to be cleaned enough! The front desk, Carmen, is always extra helpful and a sweetheart too.

Good Stay
We always have an enjoyable time at pelican Inn. They are always friendly and will help you with whatever you need help with. Clean. The only thing is they do not have a breakfast anymore. I think that is a big drawback. Also, they could hang rods next to the sink for hand towels to be placed instead of having to place them on the countertop.

Greeted by lovely Carmen who offered an early checkin. She was so friendly and accommodating. And Assistant GM couldn’t have been more accommodating, friendly and generously offered us to contact him for any need we may have. It set such a special note for our wonderful stay. We’ll be back.

Time by the ocean.
We had an amazing stay. The front desk staff was fantastic. The location is perfect. We were comfortable and the room had an amazing view. Everything was super clean and it was great to have a tasting room onsite.
