Pros: Location. We've stayed here numerous times. Not many places in California that you can walk across the street from your hotel and be on the beach.
Cons: We were surprised that this room did not have air conditioning. Open window and ceiling plan made up for it tho'.

Great location to watch the...
Pros: Staff were just lovely, friendly and helpful. Wonderful view and a fabulous walk along the coast on their doorstep. Get up early, it's worth it. 5 minutes drive from Hearst Castle. Good option to stop at Cambria.
Cons: No air con and the hall was fabulously cool while the rooms too warm. No duvets which is a pity. The rooms could do with an upgrade for the money. Breakfast was very limited and served on paper plates but this is due to local water restrictions. Book dinner in local town as the restaurants have very long waiting times.
If these things don't bother you stay here, it looks the nicest in the area and the staff are wonderful

Clean, comfortable, friendly.
Pros: Friendly, helpful staff. Very good customer service. Great location across street from Moonstone Beach. Breakfast buffet was a great bonus. I will definitely stay there again.
Cons: Pool was closed, but guests had access to pool at sister property 2 doors down at Fog Catcher, which was better situated than the pool at Pelican Inn. In one of ourrooms the coffee maker wasn't working, but the other room's did. Coffee was available to take away from the breakfast room, so no need to panic.
Pros: Great location, very nice, friendly staff that made you feel like your dealing with a family business and not like a large corporation that makes you feel unimportant and like a number and not a person
Cons: Everything was excellent.

Disappointing & over priced
Pros: The hotel is located right on a popular beach. The area is quiet and perfect for couples. There is sight seeing and shopping minutes away from the hotel.
Cons: The room was equipped with a gas fire place which must have just been for looks since there was no way to turn it on. The thermostat that controlled the air conditioning must have also been just for looks because there were no vents in the room that would allow for air flow. There was water damage around the bottom of the walls and door in the bathroom which made sense because the bath tub was smaller than the one I have at home. This room was supposed to be a king suite. Very disappointing.

Looking forward to coming again!!!
Pros: The partial view was a little patio that you could see the ocean from. The breakfast and staff were great. The location was peacefully quiet with an accessible beach and Boardwalk.
Cons: A barrier between the patios would make it more private. Instructions on how to turn on the fireplace would help us old folks.

Pros: The staff were so pleasant and friendly upon arrival Judy made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was indeed a "real" breakfast with bacon,eggs,potatoes as well as the usual fare of fruit, yogurt and cereal. Coffee was always available. Nice.!
The bed was very comfortable and we were able to get a good night's rest.
We had a firepalce in our room although we didn't use it as it was fairly warm.Really liked the ceiling fan.
Location was awesome, with a lovely beach directly across a small road in front of the building.

Run down and way overpriced...
Pros: Location of the property.
Cons: We paid for suite but had a room a little above Motel 6 quality.
The door handle on our closet was literally hanging by a screw. The window screens were bent allowing bugs to get in. One of the fans had a faulty switch. The sliding glass door did not lock and the security bar used to hold it shut was also hanging by a screw.
The worst and most disgusting issues was I found dried human waste (poop) on one of the robes. I brought this to the managements attention and nothing was done other than a note from housekeeping saying the problem was fixed and two extra pieces of chocolate shaped like vacuums were left with note.We should've been given a free night minimum for the robe issue.
If you care about customer service and complaints, feel free to contact me. I have no plans to ever stay at this facility again.

Do not recommend
Pros:
Cons: Checking into the hotel. we were informed that there were no bell boys, so we had to carry our luggage all the way up to our room.
The real nightmare was the breakfast. The breakfast menu was incomplete based on an argument that the cook had not arrived yet. There were not even eggs served. By 7:30 AM, there was still no update on the breakfast service.

Very good
Pros:
Cons: There was no instruction about having to use the fireplace as the heater. The thermostat didn't say. So we looked for a heater duct for central heating. Finally, The service tech that came to the room told us. The ceiling fan cut out. It worked, then it didn't work. Since the ceilings were tall, it was assumed that having it on would circulate the heat better. We got cold. But, they told us at the desk to leave the fireplace on while we left for dinner ( again, something in the room could have explained all of this). In the end, we did get warm.
There should be some hooks for clothes and robes in the bathroom.
The expensive bottled water was way overackaged and seemed out of place. Domestic water that is more sustainable and, better yet, complimentary would have been better.

Pros: Friendly staff, very comfortable, spacious room, and incredible towels. A few good suggestions by staff for eating places and amusements. We will more than likely stay at the same inn or another managed by the same company. They are first rate!
Cons: I'm always a bit sore after sleeping in a firm bed. Not much I can do about that, as most hotels are choosing firm mattresses these days. Also was charged an extra fee for one day, but the charge was reversed on checkout.
