"We recently stayed here and first and foremost, Annette at the front desk was extremely nice and helpful all the way. She provided us extra towels, coffee and creamer, gave us pointers (and maps) to where to go next day for a hike and much more! The hotel is nicely located and pet friendly which is a plus because we brought our fue baby as well.

"Older no-frills motel on outskirts of town but well maintained and clean. It wasn’t fancy but the price was right. Only issue was we asked the front desk if our room would be serviced and towels changed while we were out for the day. The gentleman at the desk said “yes, of course.” When we returned that evening, housekeeping had not been to our room. My friend went to the front desk to tell the gentleman on duty and he didn’t seem concerned. He just pointed to a cabinet in the lobby and said “there’s more towels over there.” No apology."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Elkhorn?
The best area to stay in Elkhorn is along the Elkhorn Slough, particularly near Moss Landing, for convenient access to wildlife viewing and coastal activities.This area is centered around the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve, a critical wetland habitat. You'll find accommodations that offer direct views of the slough or are just a short drive from its access points. The main road through the area, Highway 1, connects visitors to various points of interest and local eateries.For nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers, staying near the slough is ideal. You'll be minutes away from kayak and boat tours, which are excellent for observing sea otters, harbor seals, and numerous bird species in their natural environment. The proximity to the reserve means early morning wildlife sightings are easily accessible.Couples looking for a peaceful coastal retreat will appreciate the tranquil setting. Many accommodations in this region offer a quiet escape with opportunities for scenic walks along the water or visits to nearby beaches like Moss Landing State Beach.
When is the best time to go to Elkhorn?
The best time to visit Elkhorn is during late spring and early fall, specifically from April to May and September to October, when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities.During these months, you'll experience mild temperatures and less fog, which is ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the Elkhorn Slough. This period is also excellent for wildlife viewing, as many migratory birds are present, and marine mammals like sea otters and harbor seals are active. It's a great time for couples or solo travelers interested in nature photography or kayaking.Summer, from June to August, is also a popular time, though you might encounter more coastal fog, especially in the mornings. Despite the fog, temperatures are generally comfortable, making it suitable for families looking to enjoy the outdoors. The Elkhorn Slough Safari tours are a popular option for families during this time, offering opportunities to see wildlife in their natural habitat.Winter, from November to March, offers a quieter experience with fewer crowds and opportunities for storm watching, but it can be rainy and cooler.
