One of the Best Hotels In Monterey

I love this place. It’s small, cozy, beautiful and a pleasure to stay at. I do not have a negative thing to say. The staff make you feel like you’re staying at their house - - a VERY nice house. We had a real fire burning (not gas) while windows were open and the waves hit the shore. And, at high tide, the shore was just under our window If you want to creative amazing, romantic memories with that someone special, this is the place to go!!

Spent Thanksgiving at the Spindrift on Cannery Row. Had a beautiful room on the corner of the building with window seat views of both Monterey Bay and Cannery Row. The room was comfortable, clean and lovely. The staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the complimentary afternoon wine and cheese as well as the breakfasts delivered to our room each morning on a silver tray. The hotel is walking distance to the aquarium and the wharf.

As discerning hotel-goers, we were very pleasantly surprised at the exceptional quality of the Spindrift Inn. Pedro, at the front desk, was a gem as he was very warm and helped us with all our needs. The rooms are very clean, with high end amenities, fireplace is a breeze to use and the windows actually open so you can hear and smell the bay! The bed is super comfortable, hotel is quiet and the rooms quite spacious. All employees are very courteous and breakfast arrives on time and is plentiful and yummy enough to satisfy! Some past reviewers complained about the European charm aspect but after staying at many hotels in Europe, this one is definitely a high end replica. Everything worked well, there are many little touches that make it super comfortable and while not modern, it's not supposed to be since it's very charming, personable and quaint. Location can't be beat and neither can the value for what you get! Definitely recommend if you want a truly memorable experience!

My Husband and I stayed here one night in November. We LOVED it! We had a wonderful room overlooking the beach. Charming window-seat, nice fireplace, comfy, cozy bed - romantic all the way around. We had dinner at Sly's came back to the hotel and woke the next day to a beautiuful view and a nice breakfast. What a great escape!
