Nice staff at front desk. I stay at the Pelican Inn quite often & I love the hotel. But it’s about time to give the inside of the room a little TLC. Otherwise no complaints.

Pretty rude staff at the front desk… instead of being nice I got a lecture about my misinformation and was told off to other guests in the process of them telling other guests how the rules are supposed to be. I wish the owner or staff were more kind to the situation since this was my first time booking a room in a different state.

No Don’t!…

I never heard anywhere that as a disabled person you not be allowed to back into the parking spot! I was told this after 24 hours when I accidentally locked myself out and went to the office to get a new card. The office attendant (I am assuming he is the owner and he spoke with an Indian/pakistani accent) told me that I need 2 go & change the direction of my car in the parking designated parking spot, which is mind U much tight than the average disabled designated spots & is the only 1! When I asked if he is asking me, telling me or demanding from me to do that he answered: “You have to”… ! I told him that I am legally & legitimately parked in the spot and that it is easier for me to reload my car which is next day by 11am latest. He continued 2 tell me that tomorrow I can back it back up 1ce I start reloading my car. He started a long story about that in the past people sat in their cars… ??!! I told him that my car will stay as it is! Without a 2nd blink of time he said “Than don’t come back here again!”.. So I answered back, telling him; that he can not pay me enough 2 come back! The carpet was very dirty! The shower over tub was not operating properly so I was not able to direct all the force of the water to the shower head. When I checked in it was not enough for him to have the make - model and color of my car; he made me get back out- walk 2 my car & get the license plate number; despite my car is parked in the only disabled spot in their parking lot.
