What guests say
8.5 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 129 guest reviews
Captain's Inn at Moss Landing earns consistently high marks for its stunning slough views, abundant wildlife, and deeply peaceful setting in a charming historic building — most guests rate the experience exceptional. However, a handful of practical shortcomings temper the enthusiasm: limited service, self check-in, unclear or absent breakfast, and bathrooms with soaking tubs but no showers can catch guests off guard if not researched in advance.
