Inn At Moss Landing Point

10/10 Excellent

"This property presents as almost new. The rooms were large, very clean, and well appointed. The staff were all professional and very good communicators. The property location was very close to the highway and in an area that seems a little rougher than expected from photos provided online. We had a great breakfast at a restaurant across the street before continuing our travels."
