Inn At Moss Landing Point

10/10 Excellent
"This is just what we needed for relaxation and a good night's rest for several nights after a stressful period in our lives. We do think they should have mentioned that there's road traffic noise in many of the rooms... And when we discovered this (and later noticed that they provide free ear plugs), we asked if we could be moved. Thankfully, we were accommodated and got a room that provided us a quiet night's sleep (without earplugs). But the highlight of staying here was that every staff member at the front desk was so friendly and aimed to make our stay feel home. They provided free warm popcorn at night delivered to your room if you wanted. They took an interest in our day trips and what we were experiencing. And we loved that we were this close to Moss Landing for whale watching!"
