  • Excellent rooms.
  • Nearby Bar/restaurant Neighbor is very noisy late at night.

“Great location. Great Room, friendly staff, as well as good service, nice continental breakfast. However, bar/restaurant nearby is very noisy.”

  • Very few due to the cost.
  • To many things to label.

“For a property that charges as much it's not worth it. The view is great if you can see it from the dirty and fogged up window pains. Two the standing lights did not function. The wood they advertise is so wet/moist that it is very hard getting the fire to stay burning. No bell service or real guest service beyond 10 p.m. The break fast is the same as what you would get at a Quality Inn but you can't have too much or they charge you more. Even the continental breakfast at many other budget hotels is better and it's all you can eat. The corner rooms are placed near the stairs entrance which is used allot for wood and when the door closes it wakes you right up. Remember these corner rooms are the best and most expensive they offer. Also the website shows the north side of the property is brush and nice scenery but in fact that is a touched up photo, the remains of a collapsed building and the parking lot of the El Torito restaurant is the view. Also don't sleep with your windows open past 8:30, the noise from the people on the public beach is pretty focused and loud. All in all a great concept and local and condition of the hotel makes the cost hard to justify and it will leave a bad taste in your mouth.”

  • In-room Fireplace. Sound of ocean was very calming.
  • Requested luggage cart. Never came.

“A charming, romantic getaway for you and your significant other! Located in the heart of Cannery Row, the Spindrift Inn provides access to everything that is Monterey! Great restaurants, shopping and sweets all within walking distance! Nightly wine and cheese in the lobby was a pleasant way to meet fellow guests and share some great company! We're looking forward to a return trip!”

  • Staff went above and beyond the call of duty.
  • Needs plumbing repairs and elevator need to be fixed?

“The Spindrift Inn was amazing. Although we did encounter a few challenges with the plumbing and the elevator, these were situations that the hotel was actively working on and really had no control over. Recent storms had caused many problems with plumbing etc. in a lot of the hotels. The staff upgraded our room to an ocean view to make our stay even better and the food at the restaurant next door (also used for room service) was outstanding! I will never forget the room or the outstanding customer service!”

  • This hotel was absolutely beautiful first class, but pricy.
  • They werent able to provide us with 2dl beds, they had them, however, wanted way too much money extra.

  • We immensely enjoyed the complimentary continental breakfast and wine reception, as well as the in room fireplace.
  • I enjoyed everything about the spindrift inn. A little pricey, but worth the splurge!

“We needed a romantic getaway, and the spindrift inn was just perfect. Located at the center of Montereys cannery row, we were surrounded by shops, restaurants and views. The hotel is right on the beach, and our evenings included a glass of wine we snuck up to the rooftop. The gas assist fireplace was quite romantic, and I took three bubble baths during our stay. My honey and I turned off our phones for the weekend and never once turned on the television. I love this place, we will definitely return.”

  • The fireplace in the room was a really nice touch, since the sun does not shine much in Monterey.
  • The beds were extremely uncomfortable. Rooms smelled like old fires.

“Room was noisy and bed was horribly uncomfortable. Water trickled out of shower. I would not recommend this hotel.”

  • Location of room overlooking the ocean.
  • Too expensive for what you get.

“What the hotel has going for it, (if you get a room on the ocean side) is the view. Since I didn't want our night stay to be a bad one, I paid it. The price was way too expensive for what we got and I will not go there again.”

“It was wonderful and we enjoyed the service we had. Maybe for non wine drinkers they could offer something else non alcoholic.”

“We enjoyed our stay very much and found the hotel to be centrally located for the entire Monterey area including Carmel. The hotel staff worked hard on a special request to change rooms to accommodate our extra luggage.”

  • Great location, comfy beds, great view of the bay.
  • Room was not ready when promised, staff seemed uninterested in problem.

“One of the closest hotels to the main strip on Cannery row. Beautiful rooms and nice bathrooms (shower was a little weak). My room was not ready when promised and they kept moving the check in time - other than that my stay was wonderful (Ghirardelli's right next door!!)”

  • Nice and cozy, nice ocean front location.
  • The receptionist was not willing to provide information on alternative parking locations. 5$ vs. 20$ per day difference.

“Nice little bed and breakfast hotel for a romantic get away, if you can afford it. However, for a little more money, you can get into a real four star hotel with all the services.”
