    • Very clean and comfortable. Great position. Lovely staff
    • Neat and clean.
    • Staff were super friendly. Space was clean spacious and modern. And very very affordable

    Cons -

    • Noisy plumbing . Turn bathroom taps on and noisy. Could hear neighbouring taps also late at night.
    • NA
    • Overpriced. It was the most expensive hotel we stayed at and double the price of any others (which were all in better condition with bigger bathrooms). The bathroom was tiny with the step being a trip hazard. There was a kitchenette but no sink. The air conditoner did not provide enough cooling as it was not near the bed.

    The room was clean (when we 1st checked in) and in a good location - easy walk to all the cafes and shops. Pool towels were available. Shampoo, conditioner and soap provided in the bathroom.

    Staff was welcoming and rooms are very clean.

    Our room was not serviced/made even tho I left the cardboard message to please service/clean the room. We came back and had to go get fresh towels, more sure why our room was skipped.

    The stay was excellent. The location is great, very close to the market. The room was very clean and tidy, with good space for a family. Everything was comfortable and well maintained.

    Nothing at all. We loved everything about the stay.

    The pool and the cute cabana and the proximity to everything.

    We stayed at the Pelican Motor inn 4years in the row and we always enjoyed our stay.

    This time we stayed 6 days, 5 nights, and we the rate we got charged given it was over NYE, I would have appreciate to have the bathroom and room clean and vacuum at least every second day.

    Pool, fun branding

    Tiny room, thin walls, overpriced, no sink in the room , interiors dated need an uplift.

    9HenryPosted on: 12-23-2025

    Nice place to stay, very friendly staff! Great location, close to some great eats.

    You can sense it's slighly aged, but carpet seems new which was nice and plush. Tiny things like some rust around the shower head plate which could be an easy fix with a wire brush.

    Clean, quiet and close to town centre.
