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.

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. 😊

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.
