One of the Best Hotels In Monterey

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!!

My husband and I stayed at the Spindrift hotel in Monterey to celebrate my birthday in April. Upon arrival we were greeted by the most wonderful staff. Diana from reception and Alex from valet took such wonderful care of us from check in to check out. The room was quite honestly breathtaking.. the views were like no other. We also loved the very special touch of the Wine and Cheese reception every day from 4:30pm- 6:00pm The location and views of the hotel, the charm and cleanliness, and as mentioned the helpfulness and personal touch of the staff made our stay truly special. We won’t forget it! Shan & Shane

My family and I stayed for 2 nights for my birthday and this was by far the best hotel experience we've ever had. The staff was so friendly and attentive and the views were out of this world. We had our own beach area right next to our room which was heavenly. Will be staying again.

Was a lot of kids this time. Usually quiet but was lots of kids, got better on Monday

GREAT views

Bro this stay was amazing. The staff are very friendly the breakfast was amazing and light so it didn’t make you feel sluggish walking around can’t wait to go back

Awesome boutique hotel that we've stayed at for years. On cannery row, of course, and we get a room with a view. Saw otters playing this morning in the water.

My husband and I stayed here for a night on a road trip down the CA coast. This is a fun location, great to walk around the shops and waterfront. The room was incredibly nice, very comfortable beds, too. This hotel doesn't feel like all the others... it has some character, which we loved. We loved the fireplace, and were suprised to find the sauna, haven't seen that in a hotel before... pretty cool. Here's a pic of the cute complementary breakfast they delivered to us in the morning. Would recommend staying here!

What a neat hotel hotel with great views. There's no air conditioning in the rooms but with opening windows and a fireplace it adds to the ambiance.

This is a wonderful place to get away to, the valet guys were great, the bell hop also very helpful, we didn't ask much of housekeeping, but the one thing we asked for was taking care of quickly, the also have a FREE continental breakfast 😋, we had a variety of food, including cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit and pastry, with coffee, orange juice and milk. The front desk was busy, but we didn't notice ANY delay, if i had any issue, this is really a stretch to say issue, is that check-in could have been a bit more flexible, it's 4 o'clock, but they did take our bags AND put them away for is while we had a beautiful lunch , but that's not really a complaint, but when you're coming from far away, and tough can't judge how bad traffic may be, it would be nicer to have an option of early check- in, i was hungry so there were plenty of options to utilize some free time, like a said, scraping the bottom of the barrel to find one.
