Very nice property, with a good-sized common area. Great views of the coastal dunes and sunset. A bit strange to need to provide a cc# by phone at check-in to obtain the door access code.

We had a great dinner just down the street at the Sea Harvest with family . It was a beautiful evening out so we shared a bottle of wine enjoying the sunset on the property out back . The whole property and Sheba the owner was very inviting and comfortable to be around , we had a wonderful time and will definitely stay again.

Still not accustomed to a property with no personnel present. But once we got past the call center and digital locks, the room and living area were cozy and quiet. Very glad we found this.

Clean & quiet
I did not see any staff present during our brief 1 night stay
The parking could be better. They apparently allowed a kayak boat trailer to take up one of the very few parking spaces near our room so we had to park on the street in front of the hotel which I was not anywhere close to our room.

Oh Captain, my Captain! Moss Landing is such a hidden treasure, and this was an amazing way to spend the night! The view, the soaking tub, the bed, the decorations, the viewing deck... it was all wonderful to experience! Watching the birds and the otters in the Slough was spectacular! It was quiet and people were respectful of the quiet times. The tub filled up and the water was so hot the entire time. The bed was a little hard, but I slept like a rock!
The Innkeeper was delightful, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area! The snacks, treats, and beverages that were available in the common room were great options. I cannot wait to come back to this place again!

First of all, getting in was a pain. You can’t check in till 4:00 and the code didn’t work on the door. We had to wait some time and 3 call backs to finally get in. The room was super cute, quiet and comfortable. There is no shower, just a large tub, which is fine, but the water doesn’t get hot hot enough to fill it and be warm. All in all, we had a great time watching the birds, seals and otters out the big front windows.
