One of the Best Hotels In Monterey

The hospitality service workers were excellent and kind from the start of our stay. My girlfriend and I got into the area from San Jose. Hours before our room was ready. Their was a valet service to take our bags and park our car safely. While we relaxed, went to eat and have fun at the Monterrey bay aquarium for a bit... There was glasses of wine and a charcuterie Board of cheese and crackers there for guests when we came back to check in officially. The cheese was great, wish they had pepper jack. But that's just me being greedy. The room itself was lovely, cozy. And quite when needed/wanted. Especially since it was can be loud with the doors to the balcony open. The balcony of our room faced the main street (cannery row) which is perfect for us. We love people watching. Especially with a fireplace lit next to us. That was heaven, when we wanted to go to sleep. It was dead silent once we closed the doors to the balcony. No sound whatsoever from the street. Great wall mounted TV that we didn't even use. Just was happy to relax in that bed. Those pillows were very soft. The biggest surprise was the complimentary chocolates they gave us when we checked out. Not only was it unexpected. But those chocolates were amazing, absolutely to die for.

Oceanside room was really great, fun spot on the coast

The staff was very helpful & friendly. The view from our room was exceptional. We loved watching the marine life right in front of our windows. The Spindrift hotel is perfectly located on Canary Room & just a short walk from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Super nice and elegant hotel in Monterey. Amazing ocean view!

It’s our go to place to stay when visiting Monterey - Ocean views and friendly staff

Terrific location, wonderful ocean view, staff is fantastic

If you’ve looked at this hotel more than once and thought about booking it, stop hesitating and book it. The location is breathtaking. Spring for one of the ocean view rooms. You will not regret it. This hotel makes hanging out in the room feel like a luxury. The room has a unique charm that breaks the status quo of modern, cookie-cutter hotel rooms. I’ve seen reviews where people call the curtains “oppressive,” and after staying here, I believe those people simply can’t see character. Everything was meticulously cleaned, and coming back to the room felt like home. The only thing that could be improved was the continental breakfast. It is pretty basic, and the pastries were far from fresh-baked. But hey, there are so many amazing breakfast spots in Monterey that you can enjoy the coffee and head out in the morning. We saw seals, sea lions, otters, and whales from our room. Bring a pair of binoculars. You won’t regret it!

Hotel was immaculate! Service was top tier. Told them it was for our 9year anniversary they sent a bottle of wine to our room for free and sent some yummy chocolates and a card with it. They have a cheese and wine mixer at 4:30pm. Their breakfast was simple cereal, hard boiled egg, yogurt, coffee, milk, orange juice, and two small pastries. They allowed us to keep our car with the valet even after we checked out so we didn’t need to pay for parking at the garage while we explored cannery row. You could order room service from the Mexican restaurant downstairs. The location was phenomenal right in the middle of of cannery row.

The staff were all very nice and welcoming. The room was great and service was amazing . Perfect location for a family. We will definitely return and recommend this hotel.

My wife and I spent the last two nights of our honeymoon at the Spindrift Inn, and we were absolutely blown away by the experience. When we arrived, the staff informed us that they had upgraded our room. Look at the photos of the hotel - this is exactly what it looks like, yet the photos somehow don't do it justice - our room was STUNNING. When we walked in, we found a chilled bottle of champagne waiting for us on a table next to an unbelievable view of the Pacific Ocean. They had also placed a hand-written note next to the champagne congratulating us on our marriage and wishing us a wonderful honeymoon. I had mentioned when booking that we were celebrating our honeymoon, but I never expected such thoughtful touches. We literally didn't leave the room for the next two hours. We just sat together on the window seat, sipping champagne, watching the ocean just outside our window while the fireplace crackled beside us. It felt unreal. My wife actually cried when she saw the room because she was so happy and overcome — and, frankly, that’s about the only kind of crying a husband ever wants to cause. For a man who isn't a natural planner, those tears were perfect on so many levels. Yes, this is a pricey place, but it was absolutely worth it. Everything exceeded our expectations. The staff wasn’t just professional and competent; they were genuinely warm, helpful, and friendly throughout our stay. If you're looking for a romantic getaway or celebrating something special, I cannot recommend the Spindrift Inn enough, and if anyone from the Spindrift Inn is reading this review, please let me take one more opportunity to offer a genuine THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Y'all are awesome!!
