Starting will checkin, Carmen was so sweet and friendly as well as patient in answering questions. The property was clean, quiet and right across from the ocean. The room was quite large and the patio had a partial ocean view. The room coffee was top quality as well

The only negative thing I have to say is that the internet is really bad and slow. In this age, internet should be fast and reliable. Other than that it is a nice place to see with awesome views.

Needs some updating. It’s a basic older motel. Pool very small. It was fine for one night. It was nice to check in early.

Very comfortable bed

The Pelican Inn was very well kept and the bed was the best I've slept in for a very long time. It was fluffy yet firm. The sheets and comforter were crisp and clean white. The negative would be how loud the mini refrigerator hummed and the lack of text back from front desk. It took until the next day (original text sent at 140pm) for a vague response as to being asked to upgrade the Internet service. And then another question was not answered at all. They also do not seem fond of answering the phone. Why have texting service offered if the staff ignore it.

When we arrived we were put in a room that was not what I had paid for. Super small no A/C ( there is no a/c at all) and the ceiling fan didn’t work and it was facing the driveway. I went to the lobby and told the young lady about it and she had no problem switching the room to what I reserved in the first place. Bed was comfy but the room itself is very old! It was not clean, dirty floors and unclean shower and tub. Water pressure was very low, hard to rinse out my hair. Oh and No elevator! We were upstairs and I have a really difficult time with stairs. We will not be staying there again. Parking was hard

Beautiful landscaping and exceptional customer service. Super friendly!!! Disappointed that the jacuzzi tub in our room was disabled and the property hot tub was luke warm. Pool was freezing. But we enjoyed our stay overall. Room was so spacious and loved the huge fireplace!

The staff was nice. Room was clean with the exception of dirty door jams and edge of room door. The cost was a bit much for the condition of the room: broken sink handle, broken sliding screen door, broken counter where the fridge was stored, broken shower bar hooks.
