From the historic ironworks days to today's quiet coastal retreats — J & S Surplus & Eagle Iron has been welcoming travelers to the Monterey Bay shore for generations.
J & S Surplus & Eagle Iron sits on Salinas Road in Moss Landing — a stretch of coast that's seen fishing boats, railroad tracks, and generations of travelers pass through. The name comes from the days when iron and surplus goods were the lifeblood of the area, and the spirit of that era still lives in these walls.
Today, we offer both: a working surplus shop filled with unexpected finds, and comfortable lodging for people who want to slow down and experience the Monterey Bay the way locals do. No rush. No pretense. Just a good place to rest your head and browse a shelf or two.
Whether you're passing through on Highway 1 or setting up camp for a weekend of tide pooling and clamming, we're glad you stopped by.
Simple, clean rooms with character. Nothing fancy — just a good bed, a quiet space, and the kind of hospitality that comes from actually caring whether someone sleeps well.
A straightforward, comfortable space — perfect for solo travelers or couples who just need a solid place to park for the night.
A bit more room to spread out — queen bed, a small desk, and a window that looks out toward the road and the rhythm of the day.
Our largest room — a sitting area, a proper view, and the kind of quiet that only comes when you're close enough to hear the water.
The surplus side of the business is where the real adventure lives. Shelves and racks filled with everything from industrial hardware to oddballs you can't quite place — the kind of place where you wander in for five minutes and come out with three things you weren't looking for.
It's not curated. It's not Pinterest. It's honest, it's local, and it changes every week. That's the point.
A structure with real history — not a new build pretending to be old. The bones of this place have stories.
Right on Salinas Road, minutes from the Moss Landing harbor, whale watching, and the best clam chowder north of San Francisco.
No corporate scripts. Just people who answer the phone, remember your name, and actually want you to have a good stay.
Browse the shop before you check in. You might find exactly what your project's been missing — or something even better.
Whether you're booking a room, stopping by the shop, or just want to know what's available — give us a call or send a message. We respond to real people, not bots.
We'll get back to you as soon as we can — usually the same day.
