I recently stayed at the Spindrift Inn for a quick, much needed getaway. The views were such a wonderful part of my stay. My window looked directly over the water, which was incredible. The complimentary breakfast was the icing on the cake. I loved how simple the process was — just fill out the card, hang it on the door and relax. No dealing with the coffee maker or trying to clean it before brewing. Room service arrived on time each morning with a fresh carafe of hot coffee, fruit, pastries, or whatever I ordered. The first day, the pastries were warm and toasty. On the other days they arrived cold, so I’m not sure if the warming was standard or just something they did on the first morning. The room itself was comfortable, but it did have a stale, pet-like smell, especially around the nightstand area. The nightstands also had sticky residue from previous guests, so both could have been cleaned better. Those were the main drawbacks. As for the front desk staff, I had a very pleasant conversation with one of the women working the late shift. She was funny and easy to talk to. We had a nice chat about Monterey. The rest of the staff were nice, though I think a couple of them could be a bit warmer and more personable. Overall, I enjoyed my stay! Tranquil views and the historic Cannery Row experience make the place worth visiting.

Beautiful room, spacious and clean. Fireplace was a nice touch. Bathroom clean and good shower pressure. Nice toiletries. Wish they had liquid body wash in addition to bar soap (but that’s a personal preference). Great central location. Continental breakfast had a lot of choices and is delivered to the room. Nice pastries, fresh cut fruit was perfect. This is our 2nd stay at this hotel, now our Monterey favorite!

Menu was small and limited for breakfast. Fireplace was nice along with staff. Room was somewhat clean. Chairs arm rests were filthy dirty. Bed was like a rock. View from the window was great except the neighbors room could look into your window if you were =on the nook.

Room location extremely noisy. Bar across the street played loud music until 2am. Staff was unresponsive to my notification. Our room was not nothing like the photo on the website. It was small and unimpressive, not worth the cost at all. Very disappointing!!!

Beware! This Hotel has no Air Conditioning and there is a bar directly across the street blaring loud music with a line of loud drunk people waiting to get in. This was really bad our first night which was warm so that we had to have windows open or be very hot. Our second night was cooler so that we could close the windows which shut out the noise fairly well. Also, the bar was less packed and loud the second night.

We had a great stay at the Spindrift The hotel had a boutique feel and made the guests feel welcome, with lots of personal attention. All of the staff was very accommodating. Rooms were quaint & clean & adorable. The in room breakfast was so convenient & just enough to get you out the door while getting ready. The wine & charcuterie in the late afternoon was a nice treat & high quality. Would definitely stay there again & would recommend to others.
