We celebrated our anniversary with a weekend stay. We enjoyed how quaint the hotel was, the friendliness of the staff, the wine and cheese social hour. The location was fantastic, close to the aquarium, great dining locations and shops. We appreciated how special the staff made our anniversary stay.

Our room was amazing, the staff were all fantastic, and we couldn't have had a better time. This was my favorite experience ever in any hotel, and will be a special place for my wife and I to return for future visits.

Our corner king room with a fireplace was perfect! Falling asleep to the waves was just what I needed. The room was perfect & a charming hotel. I do have to say though, the outside and the beach were underwhelming.

We have been to the Spindrift several times and enjoy the location. The staff is friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean. We enjoy 4:30 wine and cheese in the lobby and meeting other guests. It’s also nice to not have to worry about parking your vehicle as they have valet parking.

8/10 Very good

This is a nice hotel with great views (ocean view side). I took off 1 star due mainly to the breakfast being a little disappointing. The pastries were small and seemed like the plastic wrapped kind you might get at a convenience store, and overall the options were pretty limited.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was a splurge but it was well worth it! The view and the ambiance was wonderful. The location was perfect for exploring the Cannery area of Monterey. I almost wished for a rainy day so we could have had more to time to sit by the fireplace and read. A lovely well maintained classic hotel. Not only were we delivered a continental breakfast but had a long stemmed rose placed on our table.
