We enjoyed the room and bed was wonderful. Was surprised there was no air conditioner though. Weather did cool later for sleeping. But that will be a consideration next time we come that way.

It's everything you'd want from a stay on Moonstone Dr. It's literally across the street from the wooden walkway along the ridge overlooking the beach, and there are easy stairs down to the beach. The hotel is well-landscaped, the room was indeed a suite, and a nice little balcony where two can sit and watch the sunset. Buffet breakfast was slightly above average, and certainly acceptable. Small critique is that water pressure fluctuated while showering, and we had a few momentary bouts of cold water. But it's a minor issue.

From the moment we arrived to checked-in, we were greeted with professionalism and outstanding customer service from Chris. He made us feel comfortable from the first hand shake to handing us our keys and cookies. The landscaping of the grounds was beautiful and the rooms very clean and comfortable. The view and proximity to the beach and boardwalk can't be beat. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and the staff were warm and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again and recommend the Pelican Inn and Suites to our friends and family.

Beautiful beach view

Ideally located right across from beach - which has a really great boardwalk - we loved walking daily. Great Breakfast. Thin walls, could hear neighbors, bathrooms/showers need updating. Close to Hearst Castle, plenty to see do in Caycous, Morro Bay and especially San Luis Obispo. Staff was wonderful.

No not again

My first impression was ok to good. The room looked clean and well appointed but quickly changed when I realized there is no air conditioning. There is a lovely fireplace in the room but no air conditioning. Staff said open the window it will cool off tonight. This is true but the screens weren't secure and if you want it cool you have zero privacy. The toilet also wouldn't flush and since it was a Sunday so it wasn't fixed. So I can't recommend it.

Close to the beach, close to Hearst Castle

Pros: Location, style, convenience and cleanliness.
Location: The town of Cambria is darling although we were only able to have burgers and beers at the Cambria Pub and Steakhouse. Hearst Castle is about 10 min.
We only stayed one night, but wished we had more time. Hotel room was modern and well designed. Room was quiet and bed was comfortable. Loved the decor. The breakfast was great, with eggs, waffles, fruits etc. which we love due to convenience and it allows us a chance to start our day happy! The evening wine/cheese offering was a nice touch. This is located a very short drive to the Hearst Castle, which was our main purpose for the trip. We took a walk along the wood boardwalk along the beach which was directly across the road...oh...and free parking!

Heaven!!

Pros: Comfortable clean room, excellent breakfast and other amenities.
Cons: Should have more rooms with an ocean view.
Location: Same as above
My favorite hotel of all whenever I need to relax, I know that Katherine and Christina (front desk) will do their best to accommidate me. This is paradise, all staff employees do their best to spoil you which is exactly what I am seeking when I take a needed vacation. Romantic..., long quiet walks, beautiful ocean views, peaceful solitude. Beds are comfortable, yummy ample breakfast. What more could someone ask for? This is where I go to reflect on my life. Prior to good times or bad, that I know I must deal with each one. I come back refreshed with positive energy.

Favorite Places

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
We love staying at the Pelican Inn. We always have an ocean view in the second building which faces the parking lot and ocean. We even have our own resident sea gull that visits us at the wine tasting hour. The breakfasts are good, the wine and cheese tasting fantastic, and the late night desserts yummy. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
