Had a great stay!

We had a great stay! The was a faux pas with the hot water, so we didn't get to soak in the glorious tub at one point but we did get it resolved and it was worth the wait. We loved Moss Landing; everything we needed was there or close by and everyone we encountered was very pleasant.

There were three of us staying in the Dock Holiday room which had a full size refrigerator and stove. Really enjoyed the deck. They are kinda strict about only people staying on property hanging with us, so might be good to know if you are staying there.

The Inn is located in the perfect spot, the rooms are a bit outdated, no A/C. Very nice views, I purchased the romance package as it was for our anniversary. When we arrived I was going to surprise my wife, but i was surprised myself. There was nothing there. I called in and they said they would deliver within 30 minutes. The point was to have everything there by the time we got there. I just requested to cancel it, they insisted. They did deliver even though i told them not to and they even said it would be free of charge. They did refund the majority but not a full refund. I would say, there are better places for the price in the area.

We truly loved this place. We enjoyed our stay here and for sure we are looking forward to coming back again. Loved the view every morning. We enjoyed bird watching. One thing though, would be nice if the rooms had their own fridge and AC. But regardless this is a lovely place to stay. Loved the staff too. 😊

This hotel is a surprise. Simple appearing on the outside, our room was a hidden gem on the inside. We stayed in one of the rooms facing the slough, and it was wonderful. We had a beautiful view of the bird life flying back and forth, various critters appearing and and marine life in the water. The room was clean, compact and well appointed. The bed comfortable, shower excellent and our space was quiet. The highlight is the amazing view. We could have spent all day sipping wine, reading good books and taking in the sights from our windows. Highly recommend. Robin
