Sydney

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a terrible stay at this property. As soon as we arrived, we found the window to our room broken and open to the outside as well as multiple active leaks in the roof creating deep puddles across the room. We immediately contacted management to see what could be done, and they said they would look into the issues, however we then never heard from them again even after multiple attempts to contact them. They completely ghosted us and did nothing for the issue at all even as the leaks worsened. Even when we tried to ask for housekeeping to clean the floor and receive extra towels as we had used ours for the puddles, they refused to answer and provided no housekeeping (despite housekeeping being advertised as provided upon request). This property felt unsafe, unclean, and the management was absolutely horrible. I am still in disbelief at the fact that they refused to communicate with us after we brought up a genuinely concerning issue.

Do not stay here. Bait and switch. Room was nothing like pictures. Mold, no windows, exposed wires, door lock did not work. No attendant, called to get new room, they said would call back but did not. I left property and went to another hotel. Unsafe and unhealthy.

The property is in a decent location. Easy walk to the beach and great restaurants and convenience store. The street is quite dark after dusk. The apartment is clean but definitely bare minimum as far as decor. We were only staying one night before a cruise. Comfy beds, good water pressure and WiFi so we are happy, but would not want to stay for a week or any type of long holiday.

If you’re looking for a quick stay then this is okay. There is a strong smell of mildew, would not recommend any longer stays more then A day or two. Located in a convenient place but, not as clean as advertised.

I arrived at the Pelican on Oct 29th . After seeing the room I was given ( Room 7), I immediately called their office number provided and informed them that the room did not look as pictured, was dirty , smelled like cigarettes , old blankets/ sheet cover, cob webs, broken restroom drain covers in danger of causing harm, and mold. They informed me that I should stay the night and they will provide another room. A new room was not provided the following day, and the room ended up flooding along with other rooms on the 1st floor. On the 3rd day they informed me that I would be moved to another hotel ( BALI). The Bali hotel was presentable and the staff was friendly , except for the lights being out on 2 occasions I would definitely stay at the Bali again. After arriving at the Bali I realized I had what appeared to be mosquito bites, unfortunately which would not have went away for the next few days as to which I can only imagine came from the Pelican. I would rate Pelican for a 8 on their service recovery as they provided a solution to my concerns. However they did not follow up after I informed them of the bug concern. I would also have to be fair to add that another person that was staying at the Pelican stated and showed me that their room was not as bad as mine. The building is dated and has flooding issues during heavy rain.
