One of the Best Hotels In Monterey

This is our second visit to Monterey, on our way to Big Sur for a retreat at the Esalen Center. Because of our first experience, we chose to stay at the Spindrift Inn again…for a total of three nights (one on our way to Esalen, and two nights prior to flying home). This hotel is remarkable! The accommodations are superb…right down to the bay window with binoculars to watch the sea otters playing in the ocean (my favorite activity)! The staff are incredible! When we checked out the first night, they asked if we had any requests for our returning stay. They provided chamomile tea, extra bedding, and even a couple designer chocolates with a handwritten “Welcome Back” note in our room. I highly recommend this Inn for anyone wanting a special experience.

Everything about the Spindrift was AMAZING!! Thank you for such a great experience.

The people who work there are great, always accommodating and friendly. The restaurant was the best in the atea

We had an ocean view with a fireplace and I wish I could move in to that room. Seeing otters outside your window and being able to sit on the bench/reading nook as I deemed it, was perfect.

My husband and I reserved a room with an ocean view- the reviews convinced us it was amazing. Weeks after our reservaton, we found out our son was coming to Monterey for a night. Via the telephone, the reservationist, Diana, was amazingly patient- as in the middle of it I had to double check my the date when my son was coming. She offered me two rooms, 2 price points with different views. Once I made my selection, she asked more questions to help me get the best room ! Her kindness and thoughtfulness was SO wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend reserving the room through the Spindriff rather than the online companies. Diana, with your patience and thoughtfulness, you need a 10 STAR rating!

It’s always such a pleasure saying here. The staff is really great ! And the ladies up front are beyond amazing. They really take care of their customers. The rooms are so comfortable and cozy . Such a romantic place to be . With walking distance to many eating places and shops to explore.

It has been one of my favorite inns to stay at. We always try to get oceanside view and its worth it everytime. The beds are incredibly comfy to us and the pillows as well. The blankets keep you warm even with the windows open when going to bed, unless your significant other hogs the blankets. The staff is very friendly and accommodating with any request. Definitely coming back for another vacation at the Spindrift Inn

The staff was very helpful and friendly. They really couldn't have been nicer. The room had an amazing view, and with the windows opened, it was pure magic. The food from the restaurant that took care of room service was delicious (Ahi Pokè Ceviche). The included wine and cheese hour was very welcoming. My girlfriend and my first overnight trip couldn't have been better. I literally have no complaints about my stay here.

Everything was perfect from the beginning. Valet staff & bellman were quick, friendly & efficient. The front desk people were excellent and very friendly. The room was fantastic. Right on the beach. Nightly happy hour was an unexpected bonus. Breakfast delivered to the room was great and on time as ordered. Being able to stay longer

Location! The views! Walking distance to everything! Free breakfast brought to my room! Free wine and cheese!
