We had a lovely clean upstairs room which was perfect for our needs. The parking was very conveniently located near our room. The owner at check in was super friendly and informative about what we should see in the area. The restaurant we had chosen for dinner was only a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Overall, we had a terrific stay at the Pelican’s Nest.
