Communicating with staff was very difficult. We couldn’t hear or understand them on the phone and had to do text only, which was also difficult. We had to give our information several times before they would give us a room code. They were located 20 minutes away. That being said the property was unique and well appointed. We liked the glassware and ceramic coffee mugs. The common room had pastries and extra keurig coffee and cream. The views, hikes, birds were amazing. The property is right on the salinas River. I probably wouldn’t return because things were so confusing.

Me & hubby stayed here to celebrate my husband’s birthday & our anniversary we had the king bedroom (high seas) with the Salina river view. This is a cute little place outside the city that provides amazing getaway.
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

The inn is lovely and in a great location. Visitors should know, however, that they no longer serve breakfast, they no longer have staff on site, and that the reviews that criticize their lack of WiFi are correct.

(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.

Our room overlooking the river was as good as expected, the shared deck was nice.
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.

Captain's Inn at Moss Landing: What a Delightful find on Orbitz, the \"last room\" they claimed, the Sanctuary, out front with view of the river/ slough, with the ocean and its sounds just beyond the berm, perfect for we bird lovers. But in all honesty, any of their rooms are probably \"the best\", I'm sure!
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!

This hotel is a short drive to Monterey or even Santa cruz. It's not your average hotel where you wonder if the people are on vacation or if they're actually living there. It's right on the water which is near the Elkhorn Slough. You might see otters in the water and there are a variety of birds right outside of your window. The room was super cute. You have access to the shared kitchen and dining room in the house on the property. I will definitely be staying there again.

Great location just off the coast

Quaint hotel in great location. We took a trip from Sa Fran down to Bug Sur & really enjoyed this hotel. Very cool house with fantastic surroundings including terrific run in room. We would definitely stay in this spot again in the future.

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

We love Captain’s Inn at Moss Landing. It’s immaculately clean and so peaceful. We love the riverfront rooms where we can watch lots of wildlife in the quiet mornings. We also love the convenience of having a kitchen in the property where we can go in & out and use the hotel’s plates/cups/utensils. We love our short walks to the beach or the marina.

Get the upstairs room!!

We stayed 3 nights in the suite Hide Away.
There was repeated notes about quiet time and this was where people can relax. We are light sleepers and were looking forward to the peace and quit.
The first night we didn’t get any sleep due to the upstairs people walking around, getting up to use the bathroom, dropping things.
Housekeeping is on the other side of the bedroom wall. We almost canceled out trip, but decided to give it another try. Thank goodness no one was upstairs the rest of our stay and housekeeping wasn't working late into the night.
It was quite peaceful, and exactly what we needed. The area is very unique and tranquil.
We would definitely stay there again, all of the rooms are interesting and I think the boathouse rooms would be my next choice.

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.

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!

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.

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.

This property was definitely unique. However, the bed was extremely uncomfortable (way too firm) and very high off the ground since we slept on a mattress on an actual boat. There were stepstools to get onto the bed on either side. And the bedside tables were normal size so you had to reach down almost 2 feet to put your belongings on the tables. Also, the water pressure was poor and the water heater must be for the entire unit because there was hardly tepid water when I went to shower in the evening.

It’s a beautiful property and I love the wildlife and the surrounding area but otherwise I wouldn’t stay there again.

Also, you should know that it says that there’s a refrigerator in a microwave in the listing however it is in a common area and you have to put your name on your food in the refrigerator, so that was inconvenient. If you wanted a late night snack, you had to go out of your room, walk across a small parking lot, unlock the main building doors and go into a common area to use these amenities.

The left me outside

They never let me through the front door. After spending 30 minutes at the front door talking to someone on their \"red phone\" i finally gave up. They have nobody on site to assist so if there are any issues, you are at the mercy of the mystery person on the phone. That peron in my case was incompetent and rude. You have other choices of places to stay, i suggest doing so.

First stay

The place was extremely clean and sanitary. Thats honestly my biggest requirement. It was easy check by calling a 24 hour receptionist and they text you your room and code to get in. Lots of cool decor (bed was sitting on a boat trailer, etc) and THE VIEW was amazing. I spotted a lot of birds and even an Otter floating by.

Booked through Expedia, and all communications sent to me through Expedia about check in and other info. No mention of needing to call the inn and provide my credit card for a deposit. Received a call from someone who was very uncertain and asking for my credit card number which felt like a scam. Refused. Still no msg on Expedia about needing to provide further information to get code to check in. Called the number provided on Expedia and got the same story so provided my credit card number. Other than that everything was easy.
