Wonderful hotel and views!

Wonderful hotel! We've stayed many times and it never disappoints. It is pricey, but worth it, especially the ocean front rooms!

10/10 Exceptional

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!

This was an anniversary trip. Beautiful hotel on the beach, ocean view room, windows you could open to listen to the waves, and a fireplace in the room. Service was very good. Recommendations for dinner was a small local place that was very good. The staff were very friendly. We very much enjoyed our stay and plan to return.

Very Cozy Hotel

Stayed there while attending Monterey Jazz Festival. Very nice location. Parking could be better. I decided to valet park. Beautiful ocean views. My wife really liked it. That's all that mattered!
Cozy ocean view room.

4/10 Fair

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.

Beautiful hotel

From the moment we arrived until we left 2 days later our stay was wonderful! The staff greeted us upon arrival, our room was very clean & comfortable with an amazing view of Monterey bay! The valet were very helpful & as we were checking out they graciously allowed us to store our luggage & car while we visited the aquarium. Breakfast was included in our stay & was served to us on a silver tray! Thank you Spindrift for your hospitality! We highly recommend this hotel to anyone!
