My wife and I stayed here on our first trip to Montery and it was a great experience. The oceanview room we booked was very spacious and elegant. The views were great and the fireplace was nice to have available. Also, the hotel delivers free breakfast to your room, which was good. In the early evening, free wine is served to guest downstairs. ...

Had a blast!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/15/08
I'm not extremely picky, so I might not pick up on the minor BS that some other reviewers complain about! Personally, I truly enjoyed my 2 night stay!! Location is excellent, near Cannery Row and the aquarium!! Views are incredible if you're facing the water. Fireplace is awesome (if you know how to use it!). Highly recommend Spindrift Inn!

Great location
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/07/08
The service was great, the entire time. Location was awesome. We walked to the aquarium, bars & food. We were able to watch the seals & otters from our window. Our room definately had an "old" feel. Beds not comfy. But the rates were well worth it. Location, service & value will have us coming back.

Pleasant discovery
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/25/08
As a last minute trip to escape a Sacramento heatwave, we booked a two-day reservation at Spindrift Inn without huge expections.
Boy were we pleasantly surprised! Immediate valet service, immaculate and cozy suite filled with the fragrance of the wood burning fireplace. The view was spectacular and the room was very quiet. The location was ...

Not worth the cost
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/19/08
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 10pm. The breakfast is The ...

STAY HERE WHATEVER YOU DO

The next time I am in a dentist chair,this is the place that I will think of to take my mind of the needles and things !! Fantastic Four poster,open fire with an endless supply of logs,superb breakfast delivered to our room,free cheese and wine by the open fire in the lounge!!Clean ,cosy and very comfortable.Fasinating time watching the sea otters and seals from our Hote room window.would recommend and stay again. Tim and Dawn Mannion (UK)
Our overall experience was good and we did enjoy the view of the bay. Listening to sea lions bark all night was different from the traffic noise we're used to hearing back home but there are some similarities. We fed the sea gulls from our window and it was fun watching them fight over the pieces of bread. My only gripe is the tub was slippery, ...

A wonderful place to stay!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/26/07
I wanted to take my wife to monterey for her birthday. So I decided to splurge a bit and get a nice room. Boy was I glad I did!! The Spindrift Inn was a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful decor, wonderful staff, and a great location! I can't believe the other reviews that had a bad experience.(Maybe some better planning would have helped ...
Our room was exquisite, right on the water with a window seat looking out onto the bay where we watched the sea otters every afternoon (without benefit of the thoughtfully provided binoculars!) after enjoying a complimentary glass of wine downstairs. We didn't take the car out of valet the whole time we were there--the Spindrift is convenient ...

What They Won't Tell You...!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/23/07
What they "won't" tell you after their aloof, 20 minute scripted welcome is that the hotel is directly accross the street from a very popular bar which has live bands and music until 2am! Clearly heard throughout the night and in our room. Kept us up till it was over. The fireplace was also broken and the logs would not light. The ...
