One of the Best Hotels In Monterey

A boutique hotel located in the middle of Cannery Row, overlooking the bay with a small beach. Our room was an ocean view queen room with a fireplace. You get a continental breakfast delivered to your room every morning and if you want it, the attached restaurant does room service. You have a coffee pot (Kuerig) and refrigerator in the room, with real glasses, wine and drinking, as well as a wine opener. There is a window seat (windows open to enjoy the breeze and sound of the waves), and supplied binoculars so we were able to enjoy watching otters and seals play. Sadly no whales sight this time.

Stunning views from inside the room, right at the beach in the middle of cannery row!

My husband and I love coming here. It is our quick, little, romantic weekend getaway, when we can’t travel too far, but need an escape. The rooms are quaint and cozy and clean. I especially love the open windows to the ocean and sitting near the fireplace while listening to the waves. They offer a complimentary, small, in-room, breakfast every morning. It’s not a full menu by any means, but is a nice little touch. Staff have always been very friendly and professional.

Great location on Canery Row. Within walking distance of the Aquarium and shops.

The staff was helpful and attentive. We had a beautiful room with an incredible view of Monterey bay.

Best sleep ever. Ocean view the best, sleeping to sounds of waves the best.

Great location and amazing staff. Nick at the front desk was a lifesaver!

The hotel is well located in the more historic part of cannery row. Building seems old but well renovated. When you walk into the room, you’re welcomed by beautiful decor ! . We stayed in an ocean view room and it’s worth every penny. The hotel is built above the beach and the waves were crashing below us and could be easily be heard throughout the room. The room came with wine glasses and a corkscrew , which helped us enjoyed our ocean view with some wine. The biggest surprise was that the fireplaces are actually fully functional ! We enjoyed watching TV by the fire and also listening to the waves. Our stay was magical !

We first visited The Spindrift for our honeymoon in 2012. We hadn't been back in 14 years. While some thing have changed with the times, the hotel and the views are just as beautiful as they were. Definitely one of our most favorite places. Hopefully it doesn't take another 14 years to get back again!
