Great hotel
Spent 2 days here and got the room with the ocean view. The staff was really nice and helpful. This hotel is also about a 5 min walk to the aquarium which is where I spent one of my days.

Property is beautiful and in a great location. Unfortunately our room had a leaky sink in the bathroom which caused the floors to be wet and we had to have towels on the floor. Thankfully we just stayed one night.

Ok stay
Overall the hotel was exactly as advertised. Amazing view on the ocean,walking distance to everything including the aquarium which was fun. Only thing I didn’t understand was the billing I’m used to hotels putting a refundable deposit on your card not sure why theirs was $1000, seems odd…..

Getaway
We had a bay-view room, and the view was amazing. The waves were crashing right below us. I would not stay here without a bay-view room. The hotel is centrally located in Cannery Row. There is a minimal continental breakfast, but it is only served in your room (read tip). There is no dining room. There are no ice machines but they will bring it to your room (read tip). There is no parking lot, only valet (read tip). The front desk was always friendly and they did have wine and cheese hour. A pet peeve of mine with all hotels; why are the beds so high? It does not mean comfort. The room was very spacious, but needed a larger table for breakfast.

4/10 Fair

Huge Fail
Where do I start... I booked this hotel room for our honeymoon. I had called ahead of our arrival to ask for an ocean facing room. Upon arrival we were told sorry, you booked through a third party. Our room facing the street was very loud at night, the bar across the street was heavy with partying people into the bar hour. The rates were high but we figured based on the photos that it was going to be a romantic and beautiful stay. Imagine our surprise when the room lacked from what the photos depicted... The room was very very small... The shower was horrible, zero water pressure. Bathroom was dated and filled with rusted fixtures in the shower. The decor was super dated. No amenities, no ice, no vending machines to even grab a water The front desk staff acted as if we were bothering them, rude and not welcoming at all. The fireplace in the lobby when not lit filled the lobby and hallways with a very off putting smell of smoke, when I mentioned it to the lady at the front desk she didn't seemed interested at all. It was so heavy in the air, I asked if she was sure something wasn't still lit. Best part of this stay... the valet boys were all darling and very helpful Worst part..$1250.00 for three nights. Super disappointed.

One of our absolute favorite hotels in NorCal. Happy to bring friends visiting from Australia to Monterey and stay at The Spindrift. Pricy but the views are world class!

The staff is fantastic! They’re very helpful, and seem happy to help. When we asked for things like ice or extra coffee pods/sugar, they brought them to our room very quickly. The views from this room are so incredible. The hotel provides binoculars to watch the sea life. We saw so many seals! The only “negatives” I have, and they’re so minor, are just that the skylight windows desperately need dusting, and the cover to the heating grate is hanging loose. Absolutely fabulous, though!

Amazing hotel, spacious room. It was warm the day we got there and there is no a/c. Windows do open and offer a nice breeze just wish they had screens. Bed was very firm if you like that. Bay view was gorgeous!!!!

I like, very much, that they serve breakfast and bring it to your room. I do miss, though, the full breakfast like we had the last time we stayed here instead of a continental one. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I also like the Valet parking option. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are roomy and very clean. They knew it was our anniversary, so they brought us a bottle of wine with a note and it was in our room when we first walked in. Very nice! Hope to visit again soon.. lovely place.

The breakfast was always late and not very good. The front desk was not efficient and we waited more than 30 minutes for our valet parked car. The room was nice. The bathroom ok. Bathtub shower combination was fine. I prefer separate shower stall.

This was perfect for our three-generation visit.
We came for the aquarium as my grandson had never been. We also wanted to spend some time on the beach. I just wanted a hotel that would feel special and wouldn't require driving or walking long distances.
