Perfect location to beach, shopping and dining. Check in was easy with number lock on door… they sent code the day prior. Very cozy, felt like I was staying at a beach house instead of cookie-cutter hotel. Parking was easy and on site. I would definitely stay there again.

We had a very nice stay at Pelican Cove. The room was spacious and decorated beautifully. The fire place was a wonderful added feature to take the nip out the air at night. Two things I would change is (1) the arm chair and chase lounge. They are were filthy with holes, rips and tears. Although they were white, they appear to have never been cleaned. (2) Install a new shower hear. The shower was like trying to bath under the bathroom faucet. Other than those two issues, the facility was amazing.

We loved the location, neighborhood, charm of old school facility. The room needed rug cleaning and some things did not work (lights and fan). The fact that there is no person on site except a cleaning person is problematic. I mistakenly left some items in the armoire when we left and there is NO WAY to speak to anyone to arrange retreiving them - phone number does not answer - I submitted a note on the website “contact us” page, but no response. Very frustrating.

I booked at the Pelican cove because I wanted to stay away from the Resort that my conference was at. I loved it. Peaceful, clean and safe. I want to go back on holiday.

The inn has self check-in that was so easy. I was in the La Jolla room. The room is very large with lots of windows and a fan in one, a mini fridge, a sitting area for makeup outside the bathroom and two chairs for lounging. The bed was comfortable with lots of pillows. The gas fireplace kept the room warm. Someone in another review mentioned hearing trains, but I only heard one once. The room was at the front of the property facing the street and it was very quiet. I will definitely be back. I took the train from Los Angeles into Oceanside and it was a $5 Lyft ride to the inn.
