Roomy enough to accommodate 5 of us. But bathroom needs upgrading—no water pressure. Nice view.

HOW is this property rated at 8.4?! That is absurd! What kind of snobby, overly picky guests are writing this crap? My girlfriend and I found Pelican Inn clean, welcoming, comfortable and a perfect place to enjoy the quaint town of Cambria. If you are planning on traveling to Cambria and are considering Pelican Inn but are a little reluctant because of the low rating, take the risk. It's not the Four Seasons, but Pelican Inn should easily be rated 9.4. Thank you for such an amazing stay!

I didn’t feel the front desk was friendly! They are so concerned about the 4:00 check in. One of the front desk employees didn’t really make eye contact he was just too busy! The window seat covers were really stained and dirty. I asked the front desk for wine opener or glasses I could purchase. There weren’t any on site nor did they recommend where I might find the items. I walked next door to another hotel of which I was able to purchase glasses and wine opener. I have stayed at this property before the front desk staff were always pleasant and helpful.

I had ordered a room with a balcony with ocean view.. but I got a room with a window ocean view.. ask front desk to try to accommodate and find with balcony with partial full ocean view and I would pay extra but they said they couldn’t accommodate me.. I came from the Central Valley where it’s been triple digits and really just wanted to relax on a balcony with ocean view and feel the breeze and clean air

Beautiful beach access across the road. The rooms at the rear of the hotel are noisy from the highway noise and had no balcony or view of any kind. Not what I was expecting for the price I paid. Disappointing

I reserved a room about a month before my vacation. When I arrived I was told they didn’t have my reservation. the expensive ocean view room I booked was now full. So they gave me a cheap room with a view of the parking lot they had available. They told me to request a full refund from Expedia. Expedia reached out to them several times and the hotel never got back to them to approve the refund. I have also reached out to the hotel and no one has gotten back to me. Beware… this hotel maybe selling expensive rooms and then placing you in cheap rooms.

Not worth the money even for the view...
Check in was quick and pleasant. I entered the room and saw dust on the TV table. I saw mildew on the grout in the shower. The outside has a wonderful view of the ocean BUT the patio is covered in bird poop. The birds are nesting in the overhang. The drapes to the patio had some holes. The floor inside was clean. The coffee maker didn't have a carafe. I would not rate the motel a 3.. It really at best is a 2.5
