The location and grounds of hotel are wonderful, quiet and peaceful. The room itself was disappointing: Sink was clogged, took good 15 minutes of manipulation to make it work. No hot water in the shower, just warm and in our “romantic shower for two” one side of shower wasn’t working properly Cheep microfiber bedding Not very clean, we had to have our son to wear shoes all the time, because after one hour of barefoot his soles were super dirty. Shower had hair on the wall and bathroom baseboards are super dusty. Soundproof is bad too, we stayed on the lower level and could hear everything what was going on above us, and people weren’t loud just doing regular things.

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.

I regret booking here. We stayed in the old blue house, which creaks and kind of smells. There are no staff on site, so although they put in writing everywhere to contact them, what can really be fixed via phone? When checking in, my daughter needed the bathroom desperately. The check in agent on the phone would not give us the code to get in the room until after i gave my credit card. I had prepaid, mind you, so why not respond graciously so my daughter could go to the bathroom? Also, he was hard to understand. When we got into the room, the window was open and it was cold and damp. If you like old rooms and antiques and want to be left alone in the fog and drizzle to write a book, maybe you will be happy here. I was not.

This property is located on Moss landing, which is about 25 minutes to the Fisherman’s wharf. It’s located right off the Salinas river. To go to the beach you just need to go over the bridge and dunes. Ocean by this area has strong current. Don’t recommend getting in water. Inn is in Quiet location with minimal traffic. Everything is virtual, including your check-in. No one is on staff. They offer cereal and danish for breakfast. Coffee or tea. No refrigerator in room, but there is a refrigerator everyone can use. You just need to label your stuff in frig. no ice machine. But they do provide some ice. Internet is a little bit spotty. Inn has Nice romantic, vibe, and relaxing getaway.

This place is really nice. The only downside is it is REALLY quiet throughout the building. And there's a "quiet time" from 9pm to 9am. I mean it is QUIET and the walls are pretty thin. So (if you're a considerate person) you're basically whispering if you are talking with whoever you're sharing the room with. Like not even using an "inside voice" because you feel like you're going to bother other guests. We didn't even turn on the TV at night because we felt like others might hear it even at a low volume. That's a bit of an inconvenience. But if you're a quiet person/couple it would probably actually be ideal.
