    Perfect quiet place to get away for a bit. Comfortable, private, and full of charm.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The room was a lot smaller than what appeared on the website. The bed had a space all around it…mimicking that of a boat. This made climbing in & out of it rather unsafe & cumbersome…. We kept hitting our feet on the corners since the room was so small to walk & the space was tight. I see potential fall risk! However, our stay was very comfortable & the quiet, serene ambience is exactly what we needed to relax. The kitchen downstairs always had water & some small snacks for the visitors. The best part is that the management answered prompt to our questions & were easily available on the phone. Highly recommended this place & will absolutely return when visiting Moss Landing

    Additionally, the place for breakfast has all the appliances needed to prepare your own breakfast

    This a relatively small B&B-like type of business and may not have all the conveniences of a big hotel but it compensates in charm and amazing experiences with the local flora and fauna. The staff is really really helpful!

    (I did trip over a giant nail on the front lawn and fell - so I hope they remove that nail. I let them know.) When you arrive, you have to stand outside and call a remote person who immediately asks you for more money as a deposit against possible damage. Fine. And the facilities are clean and expansive and have a lovely view. But it’s unnerving to come on a long trip to find a locked door. It’s not welcoming. When we had an urgent need for WiFi and the innkeepers’ messages didn’t help, they sent us an 800 number so someone could help us. That’s unacceptable. Your lack of WiFi is not my problem to solve; it’s yours. Otherwise, we had a lovely time. Great views, great suite, comfy beds, etc.

    I am 86 years old and in a written request via Expedia asked to have a ground floor room. Before I got there I made the required call to doublecheck with the Inn and learned they put me in an upstairs room and there are an usually amount of old wooden stairs and no elevator that I had to carry my luggage up one stair at a time while hanging o to the railing. Although they had a room available on the ground floor the Inn representative refused to move me. When I got there I learned there is no human on site. Guests have to pick up an old last century phone on the front porch and call to get two codes to unlock an entrance door and your room door. The bed was very comfortable but the bathroom was extremely small with a toddler height toilet that was annoying. And I couldn’t get the cell phone charger to work. Seniors, I advise you to avoid this Inn! Also, Moss Landing has almost become a ghost town. Most shops are out of business and the famous Phil’s Fish Market restaurant in the mariina has moved to Castroville after losing their lease. Looks like city government in this once great tourist town is extra stupid!

    there were no surprises here. This is kind of an iconic inn. The mattress and pillows were just OK. The room smell a little musty. There is no thermostat although the fireplace generates a lot of heat. The amenities are terrible. I wouldn't stay for more than two nights.

    Beautiful sunset and many large seabirds you could see from the room. The nautical theme was very nice. The wifi was intermittent. Sometimes it faded out for a short period of time.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Was very quiet and nice place

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Love the telescope for bird watching! Spotted a lot of different species :)

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room was clean. Needs some kind of counter space in bathroom. The room had a lovely view of the Elkhorn Slough. Fun to watch birds.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Everything was great, only issue was our room didn’t have a shower only a soak in tub.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Loved our view of the Old Salinas River, the warmth of the fireplace, and all the authentic charms of Moss Landing.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Beautiful hidden gem, close to Big Sur, Carmel & Monterey for a little less money. We loved the cleanliness, amenities and spacious room. The walls are pretty thin as it’s an older building but other than that we were happy with the deal.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The kitchen has a microwave, toaster, communal fridge, ice packed ready to go, and all the cutlery and crockery you need. We got dinner in the Thai place up the road (splendid)and had leftovers the next day, everything we needed for our take away dinner was there. Breakfast bar is a bit scant, but we weren't there for the food. Lovely little place, would certainly go again if I could afford it, this was a special occasion and it was perfect.. Beautifully located to explore Elkhorn Slough and whale watch out of Moss Landing and a beautiful beach is a short walk away.

    Good accommodation, I felt bath tub tap fittings would have been better .

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The owners of this property are so friendly and kind! If you like nautical decor like we do, you will absolutely love it here! Don't hesitate to book!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Wonderful view, lovely rooms. Would book again.

    Every detail was thoughtful, SO comfortable: the high King bed with luxurious bedding, gas fireplace, larger multi-headed shower, nice bathrobes, even TWO suitcase racks... and the wall-of-windows view. The kitchen dining area in the main house was better than expected, with some bonus amenities. We enjoyed this Inn and tiny quiet Moss Landing very much. HOW to enter this property! My main frustration, again, is with Orbitz, as after reading the Congratulations! for making our reservation, we did not see their additional 3-4 emails about HOW to enter this property. Upon arrival, we had to call the number found on a sign, which hooray! was answered by a live person. Frustrating that we had to give all our same info to him, which Orbitz already has! We don't have to do that in any hotel! The gentleman was very patient, and finally we had the Codes to the Public areas and to our room. And my, what a room! Worth it!

    Location. And they tried to make the decorations attractive. Extremely overpriced. Also, a strange and ridiculous number of requests for information, warnings about liability, and duplicate requests. Also, the couch was not made up, despite a phone call during which I was assured it would be all ready. And the message about where the linens were was incorrect- we did not find them until the next day. Not fun.
