Hidden Gem

The Pelican Motel was a little hidden gem in the area. We spent the weekend visiting several state parks and it fit our needs for overnight lodging perfectly. Our room was cozy and clean with updated furnishings and decor. We would definitely stay again if we are ever in the area again.
