Charming get away

This was a very special place to stay. The staff were all super friendly. The room was nice and clean. We booked an ocean view room and it had a great view. It may seem just a tad outdated .. but I think it was charming and pretty well taken care of. I wished we had spent more time there. Also the in room breakfast was a really nice touch.

A Beautiful View from Spindrift

We had a really pleasant stay at the Spindrift Inn. We mentioned that we had just gotten married, and they sent a bottle of wine up to the room, plus got us in prior to the listed check-in time. The view over Monterey Bay we amazing, and we saw numerous otters/sea lions/distant whales during our stay. Unfortunately, the windows opened only a few inches (not at all like the pics on the website, see pic comparisons below), and were quite dirty. We actually spend a fair amount of time trying to clean the windows with Windex wipes in order to improve the view. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom was sufficient. We got food from the downstairs restaurant Lalla one night and it was delicious, especially being able to eat while watching 7 otters on the water below our window! Staff was very pleasant, especially Diana at the front desk. We will stay here again.
Much different from the actual functionality of the windows, which was a dissapointment

This is our second stay here. We love the fireplaces in the rooms, and the robes in the armoires are a nice touch as well. We enjoyed the free continental breakfast served in our room at the time of our choice. We were not around for the happy hour this trip, but look forward to taking advantage of it the next time we visit.

I always love staying at this hotel because of its location and view of the bay. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, they even have a fireplace. I can sit on the window seat and watch the waves all day. The only thing is that they now restrict how far you can open the windows which ruins the full view of the bay. 😢
