Don't go here. That's the only advice I can give you. In decades of business travel, I've never had as bad an experience as this. Arrived at 1:30 PM and wanted to see if I could get in the room early as I had to catch a shuttle to an event in Big Sur at 2 PM. I was told check in time was 3 pm, but that if I wanted to pay for an extra day, I could have the room now. So the rooms were ready - but it was a cash grab. I told the desk clerk I understood the check in time, but that I had a shuttle to catch and just needed to drop off bags. He repeated the "we'll charge you." I was angry with how ridiculously anti-customer that was, realized the argument would go nowhere with a hotel like that, and turned to go. "That is ****ing ridiculous," I said as I walked out the door. The clerk then banged on the seedy little nighttime check-in window and said through the opening, "Don't come back. You will not be allowed back tonight." I was forced to make another reservation at another hotel, and now have to endure the time sink of protesting the charge through Hotels.com (no satisfaction yet) and then through my credit card company. Pro tip: Stay as far away from this horrible joint as possible -- the Red Lion is a stone's throw away, priced about the same, and is actually a professionally run hotel. Unlike the "Pelican Inn," which is a customer-hostile, smoke-smelling disaster.

Pretty rude staff at the front desk… instead of being nice I got a lecture about my misinformation and was told off to other guests in the process of them telling other guests how the rules are supposed to be. I wish the owner or staff were more kind to the situation since this was my first time booking a room in a different state.

No Don’t!…

I never heard anywhere that as a disabled person you not be allowed to back into the parking spot! I was told this after 24 hours when I accidentally locked myself out and went to the office to get a new card. The office attendant (I am assuming he is the owner and he spoke with an Indian/pakistani accent) told me that I need 2 go & change the direction of my car in the parking designated parking spot, which is mind U much tight than the average disabled designated spots & is the only 1! When I asked if he is asking me, telling me or demanding from me to do that he answered: “You have to”… ! I told him that I am legally & legitimately parked in the spot and that it is easier for me to reload my car which is next day by 11am latest. He continued 2 tell me that tomorrow I can back it back up 1ce I start reloading my car. He started a long story about that in the past people sat in their cars… ??!! I told him that my car will stay as it is! Without a 2nd blink of time he said “Than don’t come back here again!”.. So I answered back, telling him; that he can not pay me enough 2 come back! The carpet was very dirty! The shower over tub was not operating properly so I was not able to direct all the force of the water to the shower head. When I checked in it was not enough for him to have the make - model and color of my car; he made me get back out- walk 2 my car & get the license plate number; despite my car is parked in the only disabled spot in their parking lot.
