Meh.

Budget hotel for under $100 and it was ok. Bed was comfortable and sheets were clean. Room was fine, but the bathroom was worn and tatty... torn shower curtains, and grungy bath. The shower never got hot.... only lukewarm. Room smelled of cleaning products. Heater smelled of burned plastic.

Good except for one thing

I would stay again: it had what I wanted for a decent price: minifridge, microwave, quiet room, good size bed and full bath. Also liked eco-friendly shampoo and soap. One missing thing - I chose it because I like a bathtub (there was no hot tub). But there was no plug for the bathtub (I solved that in my usual way)

We always enjoy or stay here at the Pelican Inn. Manager provides amazing customer service and she even remembered me after only staying with them once, months ago. Booked a room with a fireplace this time and it was warm, quiet, and relaxing. Exactly what we needed. Definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing stay at a great price.
