One of the Best Hotels In Monterey

Beautiful hotel room and views Fireplace smell was so welcoming and heart warming Staff were fantastic Room was adorable and the breakfast they provided was lovely

I almost don’t want to write a review because I want to keep this place all to myself! The view from our room was breathtaking. The room itself had a dedicated seating area facing the ocean with large windows. The bed was a little challenging as it’s a lot higher than I expected. The hotel is older, but the charm and cleanliness make it a must stay. The staff were helpful whenever we needed something. When we come back, we will definitely choose to stay at the Spindrift again.

The room was beautifully decorated. I loved breakfast being delivered to our room. The happy hour wine, cheese, & crackers were a nice touch. The hotel was walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the aquarium.

Perfect location for visiting Monterey’s magnificent aquarium; welcoming sunrise over the ocean; fireplace in the room. Nice continental breakfast in the room. Nothing to dislike!!

Everything including the staff was top notch! Highly recommend

Perfect location

Everything was great

I gave this hotel a five star rating based on the Hotel staff and our room experience. The Hotel was rebuilt in the 1980's but has been well maintained. Some of the bathroom fixtures, mainly faucets are showing there age. The room was extremely comfortable and the view was truly wonderful. We had a corner room on the 4th floor. The noise level was very quite. The bed was a pleasure to sleep in. Continental breakfast was served every mourning in our room, which had a small table perfect for two people. We enjoyed the room so much that we spent quite of bit of time just relaxing in our room. Car parking was taken care of by the valets. Also, we used the gas fireplace to remove the morning chill, from the ocean air coming through the window opening we would leave opened during the night, while we ate our breakfast. We will most definitely be returning for future stays at Spindrift Inn.

Though I'm a California native, this is the first time I've been to Monterey. I went to visit a friend who lives there. I don't get away often so I LOVE to treat myself to a nice hotel and a room with an ocean view when possible is always a must! When I saw photos of the ocean view rooms at the Spindrift Inn, I knew I had to book. And the hotel, the service, and the rooms did not disappoint. Though Cannery Row was packed when I arrived (late on a Saturday afternoon) I was able to park right in front of the hotel to check in, and the valet took my car away. The person who checked me in was friendly and kind, and even offered me a glass of wine as I checked in during their nightly wine and cheese reception(!) The room ... it looked just like the picture, and it was beautiful! A huge window seat that overlooked the water, a sitting area with a fireplace, and a beautifully appointed bed. It was a larger than average room with a nice size bathroom (I always want a nice bathroom), and a plus was a full length mirror in the wardrobe closet. Fill out the continental breakfast menu and hang it on your door in time the evening before, and your breakfast is brought up to you in the morning on a silver tray. I sat in my window seat, munching on a croissant and coffee, while finishing some work, and it didn't feel like work at that moment. My stay at the Spindrift Inn couldn't have been better, and I plan to stay there whenever I make my way up to Monterey -- it is a gem on Cannery Row!

This was an anniversary trip. Beautiful hotel on the beach, ocean view room, windows you could open to listen to the waves, and a fireplace in the room. Service was very good. Recommendations for dinner was a small local place that was very good. The staff were very friendly. We very much enjoyed our stay and plan to return.
