The room was clean, had fireplace. The location of the hotel was also great, near del monte shopping center, which was great to grab your morning coffee n quick breakfast before you go on beach or wherever you plan for. The only thing I don’t like is their hair dryier but other than that the staff, parking, location, cleanliness all were 5/5.

From the check in it was uncomfortable, my guest not only had to park on busy street we were followed to our cars by the manager to tell us ( again ) to move her car. The room had very bad repairs to ceiling, bathroom etc. I work in home improvement so I was really shocked by the carelessness. Also no maid service, so no fresh towels or dumped trash. I not sure whats up with this place.

I enjoyed staying at Pelican Inn. It was comfortable and quiet and staff were helpful and friendly. Check in and check out were easy. My only quibble would be the safety deposit, whereby $100 was held and released. It was paid back within 2 days and didnt present a problem to me because i had underspent on my holiday and had the funds. Had this not been the case it would have caused me some issues.

Not My Favorite

I got to the hotel and the woman at the front desk wasn't very kind and extremely slow. After getting to the room i was surprised to see the fire alarm dangling from the wall and the light on the bedside had its on/off knob ripped off. The bathroom was a whole other story, the shower curtain had mold on it. I was expecting a quite room (since it advertised that it is soundproof) but it really wasnt the neighbors seemed to be “banging on the walls” a lot and you can hear everything in the room above. I wish the room was better, I will not be staying here again.

There were good and not so good things about this Inn. I would never stay here again, however. The good- the bed was nice and to our liking. The temperature and lighting were good. The check in process was simple and easy. It was close to restaurants, breweries and the Tesla supercharger. The bad-- the last thing we wanted to have to worry about was parking after a long drive and day on the beach. When we got back at 10pm, all the spots were taken. We had to wake up at 6am the next morning to move our car. The room was clean but it was so incredibly aged. Things were falling apart, the wallpaper was peeling, the bathroom was old and needed to be repainted. The towels were cheap and torn. The shower towels are the size for a small child, not a grown adult. The room smelled like my old past dorm from college. The toilet paper was the cheapest quality one could buy. If you're here for a night, it's passable but anything longer, I would pick somewhere else to stay. There are plenty other Inns and hotels on the same street.

Wonderful area close to everything, so that was a huge plus. The room was ok - i’d book if you plan to be out most of the day. Room smelled like cigarettes and the tub was a little rusty. The guy working at the front desk was extremely rude, told me that I was making his day difficult when I went in to ask a question. I won’t be back for that reason.
