The king ocean suite was beautiful, as was the view. We even lucked out with a rare warm Cambria night! The only bummer was no real glassware and our tv wasn’t available until the morning, we use it to distract our dogs but all went well. It was a lovely stay.

Overall , the management was nice but we had a slight issue with the floors and walls not being cleaned in our room. The manager said he would take care of it first thing the next morning. My family and I left until the next afternoon and came back to the room still not cleaned. We had to leave again so that they could clean, and the cleaners still did not clean the floors. It's a cute place but probably won't stay there again.

The property was clean but the room wasn’t cozy (all hardwood floors). You would think that paying $450 for an oceanfront room would equal a nice bathroom with a door that closes but the bathroom pocket door was difficult to open and close. It kept getting stuck on the railing. It didn’t close. The bathroom also needs a remodel. Overall, property was nice as were the grounds so it was but disappointing. I don’t think we’ll stay again.

My wife and I stayed here for a couple of days and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is right across the street from the beach and only about a five minute drive from downtown Cambria. Our suite was spacious, clean and well appointed. The blackout curtains were a little tired and need to be replaced and were also hard to open but other than that, the room was great. There was a desk in the room, but the chair that was placed in front of it was not appropriate in height, so the desk itself was a little high when you sat in the chair. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool, but it was nice and in the back portion of the property. If you like wine, they do have a tasting room right next to the lobby. Highly recommend staying here and would not hesitate a return visit.

Pelican Inn and Suites is a beautiful hotel across the street from the Pacific Ocean. Our suite was lovely with a fireplace, comfortable king bed, balcony with ocean view, microwave, small fridge and coffee maker. The bathroom had a jetted tub and good water. The suite was spacious. It's an easy walk to Moonstone Bar and Grill and not too far to the town of Cambria on foot. The area is gorgeous right by the beach. Pelican has a pool and a hot tub. This stay the pool was not very heated. Before when we stayed here the pool was nice and warm! A relaxing stay here though with lovely walks on the wooden cliff path.

Just ok
It was clean and the only real problem was that the shower head didn’t put out enough water to wash off the soap! It is getting older and has seen better days. And we probably got the worst room in the back of the hotel because we got in late. The couch has been there too long too!

Old, kind of odd place. Small flies in bathroom and loud plumbing. But good price, great location, and as a sole female traveler I felt safe. My room was clean and comfortable. Nice to have coffee maker, fridge, and microwave.

Just okay. $1,000 for 3 nights
The pool filter was really loud. Almost drowned out the traffic on highway 1. Maid service was non existent. Never changed the towels. Furniture is out dated and not very comfortable. The only thing this place had going for it was the location. The ocean is right across the street.
