Pelican Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to spend a few nights. The place was clean. the staff were very attentive. Location was superb. The breakfast no so good. Only a couple of things and coffee available. The coffee was not great at the lobby, but it was good and strong in the room. Breakfast, If you do not get there early, there may not be much left over. I will stay there again in the future."

FogCatcher Inn

4/10 Poor

"Very disappointed with our stay at Fog Catcher, staff was not very welcoming or friendly I’m talking about the front desk staff. Main pool was closed that was disappointing, the mini blinds need be replaced they are very old and horrible to use ours in room 904 are pretty much broken. Ice machine was to small and the area were the ice machine located was very dirty spider webs everywhere. Couldn’t even get a cup of coffee in the morning iether there was none made or there was not enough coffee made, we have stayed at other locations on the same street and they were by far better, we definitely will not be back to the Fog Catcher needs improvement that’s for sure.
