One of the Best Hotels In Monterey

This is the best hotel at Monterey where a room with the direct sea view won't cost you a small fortune. We keep staying at Spindrift every time we come to Monterey. The hotel building is rather old (nearly 100 years old), but it was renovated around 2010 (if I'm not mistaken), so it is fine in terms of comforts. Hotel provides you with a continental breakfast delivered to your room, but it is very very basic (though alternatives are all pretty much Mexican-style breakfasts, which are heavy on calories). They also have a daily happy hour with wine-cheese-crackers for the guests -a nice prelude to your dinner in one of very good local restaurants.

Great hotel and rooms right on Cannery Row. Will be coming back again. Right next to restaurants and scenic views.

Just returned from an amazing stay and our first time at the property. Looking for a romantic getaway the Spindrift did NOT disappoint! Gorgeous views from our ocean front room with a cozy fireplace. The staff is amazing and the wine/cheese reception was great as well as the breakfast in bed! Quiet and serene it was fantastic and can’t wait to go back!

Spacious room has a quality, old time feel and a lovely view of Monterey Bay. They provide binoculars that are great for watching sea otters and seals. Our room had a working gas fireplace for heat. Parking is very limited, valet parking $35. The staff is friendly, courteous, and helpful. For the complimentary breakfast, they deliver breakfast to your room, which is lovely. They recommended the Lalla seafood restaurant next door, but we found that the dishes were too heavily sauced, obscuring the delicate flavor of the seafood. We had a much better meal at the Fish Hopper, a short walk away. The area includes many interesting shops and has access to a small beach so you can dip your toes into the Pacific. There's even a Ghirardelli's Chocolate shop, complete with ice cream where we enjoyed a non-dairy hot fudge sundae. We would definitely go back to this hotel if we're going to be in the area.
