This quaint motel has been renovated and was very nice. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. The staff was very friendly and gave us wonderful recommendations on restaurants and area attractions. I would recommend this hotel to others.
The owner was great and very welcoming! Location was great too, we were able to walk to downtown Monterey within 15 minutes and really close and proximity to some great coffee places and bakeries. The rooms were big and clean and the bathroom was nice. The bed was slightly uncomfortable, but I am picky when it comes to beds. Overall, really great place will stay again if we are ever back in California.
The room was very large and clean. The property was well kept and convenient. The flower boxes were beautiful. The owner gave us all kind of tips for things to do and restaurants. We would definitely stay again.
Have stayed there before a few years ago. hasn't changed which is both good and old but bad. Furnishings are still older but workable. Patio is a nice touch but so would a jacuzzi. There is room for both.
nicely updated room, very clean. Not within an easy walk to downtown but the rates here are $100-$150 cheaper per night than other options closer to downtown. Would stay again.
The staff greeted me right away and were very kind and helpful. The site was clean and the bedroom was fresh. This was a very pleasant stay and I would come back to the Pelican Inn. It is a short drive to the beach and Cannery Row (maybe 5 minutes through the cute downtown area).
Great motel for a great price! Very clean and near the main area of Monterey. I would definitely stay here again. If you stay here, I recommend staying on the top floor if you can because the ceiling is thin and I could hear the neighbors above when I stayed on the bottom floor.
My room was big, spacious, clean and amenities were all there…only drawbacks are weak wifi at certain times and upstairs guests sounded like a family of sumo wrestlers.
My only complaint is that the bathroom sink was clogged and wouldn’t drain. It would immediately back up as soon as you turned on the water. Other than that, the place was perfect for what I needed it for. It was close to everything, comfortable, affordable, and safe (as a female traveling alone). I was hoping to check in a little bit early, but that costs $45, so decided against it. It’s nice to know it’s an option, though. I would stay there again.
the price was good. parking was very convenient and adequate for all guests. the manager was happy to accommodate our needs. quiet neighborhood. housekeeping was good. we were on the lower level, and not bothered by upstairs neighbors...mostly. early every evening there was one loud thump-we agreed someone must have dropped a large coconut-then quiet again. we walked the neighborhood in the evening and found it charming and well cared for.
Parking lot is a little small and when I arrived in the middle of the night the lot was full. Next day there was no problem parking. The room was CLEAN, bedding smelled nice and freshly washed, and I easily fell asleep. They accommodated my middle of the night arrival which I was so thankful for since I didn’t arrive till 4:00am and was EXHAUSTED from driving all night, and there is no staff to check you in. But since I was staying multiple nights they were able to find a solution. Very thankful and would DEFINITELY recommend this motel.
