“The Opposite of Plain”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 26, 2012

My dad came down to visit in February and stayed, for the second time, at Captain Moe's. Barring a nuclear winter or zombie apocalypse, I think he will be back.

Moe's is more B&B than hotel, more natural than sterile, and more social than anonymous. Wireless internet and laundry were included, and the download speed was pushing 10 Mbps, so that solves a few problems right there. If you're not from around here, you can ask them anything and get a clear and independent answer, something that's hard to find at a hotel of any price.

It's not decorated as a hotel, certainly watering that many plants would drive the maids insane in a full size hotel. It's like a really comfortable terrace/garden in the communal areas, and there's only a handful of rooms so communal often means just yours.

Breakfast and coffee is a big plus, as are the people providing it. Just friendly and intelligent and kind, not a complicated formula nor need it be. If this sounds good to you, you won't be disappointed.

“wonderful stay...relaxing and interesting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 21, 2012

My wife and I had a great relaxing stay at Captain Moe’s this past February. Superb hospitality, as noted in other postings. We didn’t feel anxious about wandering around Mazatlan at all. We bicycled, walked and bused around all areas of the town and never once felt unsafe. The reports of violence are misleading...as one expert commented, “the Beach is not the Border”.
I recommend a stay at Moe and Dorothy's as a great antidote to the bleak Canadian midwinter blues syndrome.

“A great stay - I keep coming back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 27, 2012

I came back for the relaxed, warm and comfortable feeling I get when with Moe and Dorothy. The breakfast is great, with many choices - enough to last all day! The location is excellent - close to the Golden Zone, buses, etc. At the same time, it is quiet, safe, clean and comfortable. Often my breakfast would last for over an hour, talking to other guests, and a variety of others that might drop in for a coffee to visit Moe and Dorothy. Lots of information on what's going on and where to go. If you are looking for something other than an impersonal hotel room, this is the place for you - I highly recommend staying at Capt. Moe's.

“Great Hosts and a Beautiful Setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 27, 2012

We stayed at Moe and Dorothy's for two weeks in January 2012. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Mini-fridges were available in each suite. Breakfasts were varied and the food was excellent. There was always fresh fruit, granola, rolls, or do-it-yourself eggs in the outdoor kitchen. We couldn't have asked for better hosts. Moe & Dorothy have a relaxed attitude and are very flexible in meeting people's different schedules for breakfast and their food preferences. Each day there is a cast of characters who come by the courtyard of the B & B for visits. It is a mix of quirky personalities, a shared sense of fun and pure theater. And then there is the resident dog, Zoey. This wirey Jack Russell will shamelessly attach herself to anyone who looks like a meal ticket. If her people leave she begs to be taken care of and will make herself right at home in your room. In all, Moe and Dorothy's is more than a B & B, it is an experience. Tacoma Chef

Room Tip: If you have a choice, ask for an upstairs room

“I can't thank Moe and Dorothy enoughfor the hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2012

I can't thank Moe and Dorothy enough for the wonderful hospitality they showed me during my 25 day stay for dentistry in Matzatlan. They make the best breakfast's ever! They even accommodated my specific eating limitations because of the dentistry and treated me like a King. Moe made me belly laugh with his hilarious stories of his Kentucky childhood, his days as a river boat Captain on the Mississippi and roaming the Florida Keys and Caribbean. If you are the Grinch or grouchy- this won't be the place for you. I would recommend staying at Captain Moe's to everyone- I left there feeling like a part of their big fabulous family; and truly miss Moe, Dorothy and the daily Breakfast Club
