The Spotlight on Pelican Inn & Suites

Beachfront Comfort Just Minutes from Cambria Music Events

Modern rustic charm meets coastal serenity at Pelican Inn & Suites, located on scenic Moonstone Beach Drive in Cambria. With sweeping views of the North Pacific Ocean and uniquely decorated guest rooms, this oceanfront hotel offers a peaceful yet convenient home base for music fans exploring the Central Coast. Each room features a fireplace, microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker—perfect for cozy nights after the show.

You’ll also enjoy thoughtful amenities like free WiFi, cable TV, a seasonal outdoor pool, and a soothing spa pool. With concierge services and a 24-hour front desk, your late-night needs are covered. Plus, popular attractions like San Simeon State Park and Hearst Castle are just a short drive away.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the quiet beachside location that’s still close to Central Coast venues in Cambria and nearby towns. After a night of live music, retreat to the soothing sounds of the ocean and relax by your in-room fireplace. The 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze, and there’s ample parking for those driving in from shows.

Food and Drink Options

While there's no full-service restaurant on-site, each room includes a microwave and fridge—great for late-night snacks. Morning-after recovery is easy with an included continental breakfast. Plus, there are several walkable restaurants and cafes along Moonstone Beach Drive for pre- or post-show meals.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself offers a peaceful vibe perfect for winding down, but you're just minutes from Cambria’s wine bars, lounges, and pubs. Whether you're after a glass of local Pinot Noir or a casual beer with live acoustic sets, you’ll find options close by.

What People Say

Guests rave about the ocean views, cozy fireplaces, and superb location near the beach and local attractions. Many mention the friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere, calling it a perfect retreat after a busy day of sightseeing or concert-going.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the decor is a bit dated in certain rooms, and the seasonal pool isn’t always available during colder months. However, most agree these are minor trade-offs for the views and comfort offered.

Overall a decent hotel but...
