It’s a shame that one reception staff ruins this review. Don’t know his name, buts African and wears glasses (I’m African too, just in case). He was unreasonably rude to simple questions about dinner times that I asked in a friendly manner. Not acceptable. By the way, breakfast was 08.00 - 10.00 on weekdays. The pictures of the Pelican Hotel on Hotels.com aren’t accurate- probably photoshopping. Furniture and flooring are generally old. The bathroom is the best space in my room. The hotel is located on a busy road outside the beach, so it was noisy at night time.

Excellent!

Pros: Perfect location for hanging out on south beach. Whether to just sit at their cafe downstairs just people watching or take a stroll across the street at Muscle Park, you have a variety of fun activities to choose from. Complimentary American breakfast between 7-11AM and a free drink (5-7pm) was included with our reservation which made they stay that much more enjoyable. Shower pressure was good which something I always take into consideration when booking a hotel. Just make sure to adjust that hot water valve carefully or you will get burned as that hot water was scolding hot. Hotel staff are very friendly and accommodating. Cons: View from the room was not the best (i.e., staring at a side of the adjacent building) unless you book the beach view rooms. Complimentary breakfast was limited to only (3) options although they had several other items on their menu. Some fixtures in the bathroom shelf were broken/falling down. Valet parking had been excessively long wait times (20-30 minutes) even though their wasn’t anyone else getting a car as the parking garage is 2 blocks away. Despite the latter, I still give them 5 stars as me and my wife still enjoyed the overall experience and weekend getaway.

Beautiful place with some of the most welcoming staff! The ocean view queen bedroom (big bamboo) was quite comfortable and had an amazing view. On top of the looks, the complimentary perks were very generous. Free breakfast, daily cocktails, and beach chairs/towels were much appreciated. Would stay again!

Lovely bones but the room in which I stayed is in dire need of a refresh. Probably hasn’t been touched in decades, and sadly that shows. Also a very strange man on reception who wasn’t particularly friendly.

Definitely, there was No Beach View

Loved the location in the middle of the art deco district. All staff were pleasant & helpful. Meals at restaurant were delicious.

Reception staff was awesome. Older barman was really friendly making sure I knew about comp drink 4-7pm. Santos my waiter was super attentive, efficient and friendly during my evening meal. Wasn’t too happy when busboy took my table light and replaced it with broken one while I was still seated during my meal. My good light he gave to another table! Countless times I found it very difficult to get in and out of the hotel with an older man (maitre d?) trying to solicit diners on the sidewalk every time… sometimes chatting with friends or other waitstaff. He knew I was a guest of the hotel and made no effort to step aside each time. I was not greeted at all when entering or exiting the hotel by him. Besides that, I loved my room and the location of the hotel.

Lovely hotel; good food, drinks and breakfast. Friendly staff, clean room, safe area and directly opposite beach Will be back

Nice gem!
