"Talk about service! Spindrift went above and beyond from check in to check out. We had such a lovely stay we had a hard time leaving.

Room was super clean and even with a street view it was super quiet. Fireplaces and a personal sauna in the room? Amazing! Everyone was super helpful and beyond hospitable, would definitely...
