Quiet wetland views off Highway 1

Captain’s Inn at Moss Landing keeps things calm and nature-forward, set right on the Old Salinas River Tidal Channel with views over Elkhorn Slough wetlands.

A secure, contactless check-in with smart-lock access codes helps preserve the quiet, private feel.

    The inn overlooks Elkhorn Slough, turning mornings into easy wildlife watching.

We enjoyed our stay at the Captain's Inn. The historic building was charming and the staff was helpful. We especially liked the little dog and turtles.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Enjoyed our stay. Property is a bit old but it’s unique. Our room felt a bit cluttered and the bed had what felt like an older saggy mattress under a memory foam pad. Sleep-able but not super comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful hidden gem, close to Big Sur, Carmel & Monterey for a little less money. We loved the cleanliness, amenities and spacious room. The walls are pretty thin as it’s an older building but other than that we were happy with the deal.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.
