Overall, the hotel room was decent and the staff was good. Wish parking was better; we came back and all of the stalls were taken when we had room reservation. The staff was able to make parking accomodations

The property was clean and very nice. The only downside was during a four day stay they only service the room once. And the rates were very inflated since it was car week.

The stay at the Pelican Inn Monterey was horrible . First of all if you book thru Hotels. Com or Expedia your surely going to be staying in one of the less desired rooms as oppose to if you’re a full price paying customer you’ll get a better recent remodeled room. This hotel is not ADA friendly no elevator to get to the second floor. Water leakage, dripping water and loud toilet noises all night in the bathroom Owner was very rude and not willing to willing to accommodate I do t recommend this hotel at all

For an older property it was clean and the staff was very nice. The property needs an update but the fact that it was clean and no odors and quiet goes along way with us.

My wife and I checked in about 4pm, we went to our assigned room to unload our luggage and noticed loud music being played in the room below us, I went back into the office and mentioned the loud music and the man at the desk said he couldn't do anything about it. We left to go to an early dinner and when we returned the music was still very loud, I went to the room where the music was coming from and kindly asked them to lower the volumn which they did!

Disappointed

We were disappointed in the Pelican Inn. It is obviously a tired old property that they are doing the best they can with but it needs work. Our room had a king bed and a fireplace but we didn't want to light the Preato log because of all the black soot on the ceiling. Our hvac unit I think had been there forever was incredibly noisy most of the time. The towels we're Motel 6 quality. No coffee anywhere. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable, the shower pressure was good and check in was quick and easy. It is also pretty conviently located. Parking is tight but it's free. I'm sorry to say that I cannot recommend this property.

Disappointed

Not as advertised! They only have an ice machine, no coffee no food. Laundry is 1/2 mile down @ another hotel.The outdoor areas are full of cigarette butts & dog poop. No pets allowed but the owner has a couple. The bbq is rusted & dirty. The rooms are run down, but bed was comfy & shower was good. This place is on a sketchy corner. Turn left and go back streets to your destinations (Montery & Cannery Row) & there's a Dennys that way too.

One staff member on the phone was very snarky for no apparent reason. He seemed to be offended by some very ordinary questions. There was a half done paint job in our room. The property did seem fairly clean but somewhat shabby. Don't stay here if you have other options.
