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.
