The inn has self check-in that was so easy. I was in the La Jolla room. The room is very large with lots of windows and a fan in one, a mini fridge, a sitting area for makeup outside the bathroom and two chairs for lounging. The bed was comfortable with lots of pillows. The gas fireplace kept the room warm. Someone in another review mentioned hearing trains, but I only heard one once. The room was at the front of the property facing the street and it was very quiet. I will definitely be back. I took the train from Los Angeles into Oceanside and it was a $5 Lyft ride to the inn.

I booked at the Pelican cove because I wanted to stay away from the Resort that my conference was at. I loved it. Peaceful, clean and safe. I want to go back on holiday.

Perfect location to beach, shopping and dining. Check in was easy with number lock on door… they sent code the day prior. Very cozy, felt like I was staying at a beach house instead of cookie-cutter hotel. Parking was easy and on site. I would definitely stay there again.

The Inn was quite nice. We liked that it was two blocks to the beach and close to downtown. We were a little surprised that there was no air conditioning.

This property is a gem. It is very nice, safe, and quiet at night. We slept wth our windows open and the temperature was perfect. The only caveat is it is not far from the train track (which is true of the sll of the beach towns in this part of CA), so if you leave your windows open, you will hear the trains. This however is also a feature due to it is easily walkable from the coastal express train. Restaurants, 7 eleven, and the beach are all within a 2-5 minute walk. I give it 5 stars.
