4/10 Fair
May 18, 2025
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.

Beautiful Hotel
Our riim was so beautiful and comfortable. The complimentary wine/cheese in the early evening was an awseome extra touch. The location was perfect for a visit to Monterey. The staff - especially the valets were so helpful. We asked to store our luggage for a few hours and instead they went ahead abd put it in the car for us. Would definitely stay here again.

My stay was perfect and accommodations were beyond what I expected.
The staff was professional and in all my years staying at Monterey Hotels this boutique vibe is truly what I had been missing.

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!
