“A lovely surprise on Moonstone Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

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 special. The rooms are absolutely charming, with wallpaper, fireplaces and small sitting areas. All guests were invited for wine and cheese in the evening, and a full hot breakfast in the morning, at no additional charge. It was so nice to sit in the charming dining room and enjoy the company of the other guests. We were visiting off season, but Moonstone Beach looked beautiful, and the town of Cambria has several nice options for dinner. Overall, a nice place to stop for a night or two.

Room Tip: You can ask to overlook the beach, and see a nice sunset, although the road is between the inn and t...

“Breathtaking Views....Wonderful Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

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 great. All I can say is I'm very happy that I did. I'm looking forward to staying here again in the summer. Keep up the good work!

Room Tip: Book an ocean view room

The manager, Chuck was very helpful and supportive in giving us the best the inn

“This is the hotel to stay when you go to Cambria!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

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 add the complementary wine tasting and desserts at evening served in the dinning room and the continental breakfast! Definitely the best place to stay if you visit Cambria!

“The Perfect Getaway!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

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. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Pelican Inn. Thank you from two tired parents that have now been revitalized by your great hotel and our special night out.

Room Tip: Get a room with a balcony and watch the sunset over the water from your room.
