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.

Somehow my reservation went through twice. I didn't realize this until we checked in. Multiple people on their staff went above and beyond to help me only get charged once, despite there already being two pending charges on my credit card. Plus, their cancellation policy is 72 hours. But they saw what happened and quickly made sure that I was taken care of. On top of that, the view was amazing. The room was awesome and I can't wait to go back.

The receptionist was so helpful and nice. She did all she could to make our anniversary a happy one. The views from room and rooftop were amazing. Even a bottle of champagne was waiting for us at our room. Got to see the Sunrise🌞 Thank you. See you next year!

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!

It's not very often the pictures don't do a room justice. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by how nice our room was. The entire staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!
