Most beautiful place in CA!
We stay at the Spindrift when we come to Monterey and wouldn't stay anywhere else. It is the most beautiful Hotel on Cannery Row. The staff is amazing and the views are breath taking. We LOVE this place and will come here for the rest of our lives!

Wonderful Hotel
My wife and I have stayed here over a dozen times. This is the best and most convent hotel in Monterey. It is simply wonderful. There were a couple of minor issues, but the hotel staff promptly resolved the issues to my satisfaction.

Good Stay in Monterey
Great stay. Paid extra for upgrade for a room with a view of the ocean. The view was great, but next time I'll try to pay less ahead of time. Great service, good breakfast.

Honest review
It has been one of my favorite inns to stay at. We always try to get oceanside view and its worth it everytime. The beds are incredibly comfy to us and the pillows as well. The blankets keep you warm even with the windows open when going to bed, unless your significant other hogs the blankets.
The staff is very friendly and accommodating with any request. Definitely coming back for another vacation at the Spindrift Inn

Best location, and great charm
Amazing location right on Cannery row over looking McAbee beach. Guest Service is great and attentive. From valet, bell to front desk, and wine hour, everyone was great. Complimentary breakfast delivered to the room and nightly wine and cheese hour are added bonuses. Fireplace in the room and great view of cannery row, can’t beat it. Love the charm of the hotel and in room robes. Will be back
