The toilet was so loud it could wake the dead , two nights in a row someone took a show and the notice was so loud at 3:30 am for an hour, then the tissue holder full of rust on the bottom and the the silver fish in the bathroom was ti much for me. Because i went though Expedia they can't refund me any money. They did offer to bring us back as VIP guests. No thanks.

Very comfortable bed

The Pelican Inn was very well kept and the bed was the best I've slept in for a very long time. It was fluffy yet firm. The sheets and comforter were crisp and clean white. The negative would be how loud the mini refrigerator hummed and the lack of text back from front desk. It took until the next day (original text sent at 140pm) for a vague response as to being asked to upgrade the Internet service. And then another question was not answered at all. They also do not seem fond of answering the phone. Why have texting service offered if the staff ignore it.

When we arrived we were put in a room that was not what I had paid for. Super small no A/C ( there is no a/c at all) and the ceiling fan didn’t work and it was facing the driveway. I went to the lobby and told the young lady about it and she had no problem switching the room to what I reserved in the first place. Bed was comfy but the room itself is very old! It was not clean, dirty floors and unclean shower and tub. Water pressure was very low, hard to rinse out my hair. Oh and No elevator! We were upstairs and I have a really difficult time with stairs. We will not be staying there again. Parking was hard
