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. 😢

Very disappointed!

We paid more than we usually do for a Hotel, but it was near the water so we took it. The Hotel has no air conditioning so it was warm at night. There was a fan so we had that going. Used only a sheet as more was too much. I slept two hours then I was too warm to sleep. I went to sleep at 4:00 am and was awaken at 7:15 with construction going on. A very loud drill and hammering. We paid way too much for this room to be awoken so early. Also, the toilet would run, shut off and start again after a bit. The two chairs facing the fireplace were so hard you couldn’t sit on them. When we told the young Lady at the desk about all this, she didn’t seem to care too much. She said the workers are to start at 8:00. I said they didn’t, it was 7:15. She also added that because we booked with Hotels.com we couldn’t get our money back. We told her we didn’t care we just wanted to leave. I’m sure she didn’t care. I’ll never return to this Hotel again.

Nice place to try once

Great relaxation spot however, no microwave in the room and when I asked staff if I could use their micro they said they didn’t have one. Also, i would've likes a screen door that i couldve enjoyed the fresh ocean air at night.

We enjoyed our stay from check in to check out! Upon arrival the staff was kind and helpful. We loved how clean and cozy our room was and all of the extras that made it feel special- like the drinks/snacks hour in the afternoon and the breakfast delivery to the room. We were celebrating our anniversary and overall had a lovely experience. Definitely recommend staying here! We will be back :)
