One of the Best Hotels In Monterey

We went here for a romantic getaway, and were so pleased. The place looks fine when you enter, but the room was magnificent. Gorgeous fabrics, tasteful details, a very romantic atmosphere. They have free wine and nibbles every evening in the reception area, where you can sit quietly, or mingle with the other guests. It is just a block walk to the aquarium and is set with beautiful views of the bay. Close to everything, yet feels very private. Staff were great. Had fun watching the seagulls and ocean critters.

Elegant hotel with wonderful and helpful staff! Well appointed room with terrific views of the ocean. Walk to Aquarium and dinner. Can't wait to return. Staying right in Cannery Row is a wonderful mix of old and new resting on the shore.

Our favorite hotel, period. Super cute and unique. Staff are amazing and accommodating. Location is perfect and walking distance to everything. Not a bad room in the place with amazing views. Great place to spend a special occasion, a getaway weekend, or a full vacation. We just keep coming back to Spindrift.

This place is amazing. Its right in the heart of the Canary row. When we arrived we were greeted by the reception and they were super nice. The lobby is roomy and very beautiful. Sooo...off to our room... it was super cozy with a fireplace that actually works and day window sitting ...ooook... so for the price you pay i'm was happy with what we had so far...BUT.... they razzled dazzled us with a turn-down service and continental breakfast delivered to our room at a time we requested!!!! whaaattt??!!!. This place roooocks!! you get soo much for your money....oooh did i mention they have wine and cheese for happy hour... don't think twice about staying here!!

Amazing service! So convenient! Highly recommended staying here if you have the chance.

This place was amazing. The views from the windows are gorgeous. The room itself was beautiful. We had a nice simple breakfast delivered to our room each morning, along with an actual newspaper. We enjoyed eating right in front of the fireplace our room. But nothing compared to the view. We were right at the water's edge. I would love to spend an entire week here.

So happy a friend recommended this great inn. We had a beautiful room overlooking a small quiet beach. Opened to listen to the water and gulls. A nice fireplace that we used, the evenings are quite cool even in August. The rooms are filled with antiques and charming small touches that made everything extremely comfortable. Easy walk to most of Monterey's attractions and easy parking when we left to explore more of the area. Highly recommend!

A luxurious inn in Monterey. As we checked in, they were preparing a wine and cheese reception for guests from 4 – 6 PM. We took our wine to the rooftop terrace that overlooked Monterey Bay. We stayed in an ocean view corner room. Sitting on the cushioned window seats and using the binoculars in the room, we watched the otters and herring gulls in the bay. The room was comfortable with a log fireplace, two lounging chairs and luxuriant robes. When I called to add a second room, as we travelled with our son and daughter-in-law, I was asked if we were celebrating anything special. Our son and his wife had recently married, so when they arrived in their room they were greeted with champagne and chocolates. I felt that was an extremely thoughtful gesture. A continental breakfast was delivered to our room the next morning. It was relaxing to eat and look out over the bay. One reason I chose the Spindrift Inn was its location in Cannery Row which we toured the evening before. Spindrift was our daughter-in-law’s favorite of all the places we stayed during our trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco. We would definitely stay there again and perhaps longer if we are in the area.

This place is exactly as advertised. I was quite pleased that the “king room ocean view” is actually dead center oceanfront (room 306), I’ve never stayed right on top of a beach before!! I also booked my reservation quite late, less than one week prior for a busy thanksgiving weekend so I was quite pleased that we got such a nice room. This past Saturday when we checked in, the hotel staff was having problems with their electronic key system so they actually couldn’t issue any keys until later that evening. However, we were always escorted up to our room and the staff always apologized for the inconvenience. I really didn’t mind, especially since they had such a nice complimentary wine reception in the lobby! Breakfast delivered to the room was also great, so getting the ocean view room is definitely worth it. Another reviewer mentioned that the room can smell of smoke even if you don’t use the fireplace, which is true. The smell was overwhelming at first, not sure if it’s coming from the restaurant next door or lingering from the fireplace from prior use. I can’t take off any stars though, I loved this room too much. I will be back soon!

Great place staff is very friendly and helpful love the fire place in the room. They upgraded us to a ocean view and sent us a bottle of Champagne. The room was nice the bed was very comfortable we also enjoyed the wine and cheese in the evening sitting downstairs by the fireplace.
