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.

We stayed 2 nights. The 1st night we had a patio room facing the ocean. The patio is a little below ground level so you can only see the ocean when standing and people walking by, there were many, would look into the room. It was a very noisy room. The 2nd night we moved to a second floor ocean view room and it was very nice.

It was okay. The best part was we were 1 minute walk from the beach and in the room we were able to see and hear the waves from the room window (it wasn’t ocean view), but the cushion to see out that window wasn’t to clean (so I asked my husband to go to the car and grab our blanket from the trunk so I can sit down and read with that beautiful view and sound) and the fireplace wouldn’t turn on.
