Pelican Cove Inn

10/10 Excellent
"It was a self check in/out which was very convenient. You can text the staff and they are very responsive. The place is very quaint, older but very well kept and clean. The only thing that was difficult is the parking is very tight and small area so we had to park about 2 blocks away. This was the only negative experience. The bed was very comfortable and there is no AC but our room had 5 fans throughout so it was not an issue on a 78 degree day. It was quiet and we had great water pressure and the La Jolla room we stayed it was very spacious."
