Top Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute Hotel Reviews

Captain's Inn at Moss Landing

8/10 Good

"I wasn’t comfortable with the self check in process. I wasn’t aware of it. I must not have looked at the ad properly. The place was deserted and in a desolate location I did not like that and felt at risk, but the amenities were fine and the room was cute. It’s just not my cup of tea."

Inn At Moss Landing Point

10/10 Excellent

"I travel frequently to the Monterey and Moss Landing area from the Central Valley. My primary reason for visiting the area is photography. I like the ease of parking right in front of the hotel, easy highway access and location right by Moss Landing Harbor. The hotel is very clean, smells fresh, staff are very friendly and service exceeds expectations every time. Beds are comfortable, rooms are always clean and room service is daily. The ac and heater is nice and quiet and the boutique store and self service pantry is extremely convenient. They even had items with local marine life themes for sale."

Coastal Valley Inn

8/10 Good

"More clean and satisfactory from desk to customer"
