Lovely hotel with great beach location for wonderful walks/jogs. Nice, large room included separate sitting area with fireplace and patio. Great, friendly staff, yummy full breakfast and free wine/snacks reception daily. Super clean. Cons: Room was warm - had to open slider or use ceiling fan. Bed was bouncy but we heard they're replacing them in March 2012. More

We spent a night at the Pelican Inn in December during our drive up the coast. We were heading to Hearst Castle in the morning, and we chose it because it was only about 10 minutes away. The Inn is across the street from the beach, amid a row of other small hotels and inns, but this Inn is very... More

I stayed here with my girlfriend a few months ago. All I can say is WOW! The staff was extremely accommodating, the breakfast exceeded my expecations, and the room was comfortable. We actually stayed here a couple years ago and can notice the difference in ownership. I almost didn't want to book here again since our last stay wasn't that... More

The manager, Chuck was very helpful and supportive in giving us the best the inn could offer and being sure we were happy with our accommodations. Breakfast and afternoon wine and cheese were great! Staff was friendly and helpful. Clean and neat. We will return with friends. More

I have stayed in the Pelicann Inn hotel twice and had an amazing time! The room is big with comfortable beds and great ocean view! The last time I stayed, the jacuzzi wasn't work for a couple of hours and they got us an upgrade to a suite with ocean view! Great staff! And of course, I can't forget to... More

My wife and I got to stay at this fantastic hotel for a much needed parent's night out! We had a balcony with an ocean view, wine tasting right after we checked in, and the best breakfast at any hotel we have ever been at. The hotel is directly across from Moonstone Beach and we saw the most amazing sunset.... More

We have stayed here for the last five years. Each time we come back the place gets a little more depreciated and it becomes less of a deal. There is no attention to detail, the towels are threadbare, the furniture old, and when you return to your room and turn on the TV ( not a flatscreen ) you will... More

Great friendly staff, great breakfast, they are starting a remodel this year which should make things look even better. Gas fireplace is nice amenity for damp foggy mornings. Stay in an ocean view room it is worth the extra money. We stayed for a week and it was worth it. Moonstone beach is wonderful walking everyday. More
