We stayed here at ...

We stayed here at the beginning of February and found the hotel everything g a boutique hotel should be. Our room was on the 3rd floor with a bay window seat with direct ocean views and what views they were! The continental breakfast being delivered to your room at your chosen time was a nice touch and the valet parking made arrival stress free. Every staff member was friendly and helpful and it was truly a wonderful stay - we will most definitely back. PS: we are hospitality consultants usually brought in by owners to turn their property around from massive resorts to small BnBs so we might be less forgiving than other travelers

This was my favorite ...

This was my favorite hotel I stayed at on this last trip! It was awesome! Great shower and water pressure. Windows and seating right above a small beach and the bay! It was the best. I could have sat in that window for days! Located right on cannery row, great service, staff was friendly, clean large rooms, fireplace. They even have binoculars in the room for you to look out at the bay. I had fun watching little otters swim around! Recommend this place 100% I will be coming back and it's my new favorite place to stay. Valet parking, great staff help with luggage, awesome location, perfect views. Delivering breakfast to your room right now due to COVID. Was fantastic.

Overall a good hotel ...

Overall a good hotel if you are aware of all the nuances and downsides. The staff were nice and welcoming. The hotel is made in an old fashioned style, it’s an old hotel which hasn’t been redecorated from old times. Some of the things were worn out completely like bed linen and had wholes in it. It did not affect a one night stay but spoiled the impression a bit. They gave us a complementary bottle of wine and a couple of candies for the special occasion. The room has a gas fireplace inside. The rooms were pretty spacious and the bed was large. The breakfast was underwhelming. They put the cheapest yoghurt which did not taste well, the egg was overcooked and the egg yolk was almost green. There was no mean offering at all. The bathroom was typical Californian style, i.e no shower handle, had the curtain and was not exactly easy to use. Overall I think the hotel is overpriced - there was nothing too bad for a one night stay - maybe it makes sense to pay for a room with a sea view but probably not for a regular one unless you are into that old fashioned style. I’ll leaving a borderline 5 star review mainly for the large room and complementary wine/sweets but it could as well be 4 star review too for the reasons above

I have never had ...

I have never had a better experience at a hotel. From the incredible staff, to the beautiful room, every detail makes you feel special. My wife and I stayed for our 25th anniversary. We will never stay anywhere else when we come to Monterey. Right on Cannery Row you can walk to most everything. The valet parking removes the stress of trying to find a space. Beds are comfy and the rooms are gorgeous. (We got an ocean view with a fireplace). Due to covid the continental breakfast was delivered, and wonderful. What more can I say, this trip was definitely the best we have ever taken to Monterey thanks to the Spindrift Inn.

We stayed here for a night and it was spectacular. The corner room has great views of the ocean and the beach underneath. The gas fireplace adds just the right amount of coziness to the room. Staff was pleasant and breakfast in the room was wonderful. Definitely coming back again
