We had a great stay at the Spindrift The hotel had a boutique feel and made the guests feel welcome, with lots of personal attention. All of the staff was very accommodating. Rooms were quaint & clean & adorable. The in room breakfast was so convenient & just enough to get you out the door while getting ready. The wine & charcuterie in the late afternoon was a nice treat & high quality. Would definitely stay there again & would recommend to others.

This property was great! The only issue we had was how warm it was in our room. We were on the 3rd floor and had a view of Cannery Row, but none of the windows could open. Not even a slight opening. There was a ceiling fan in our room and a plug in, standing fan but it only blew the warm air around. We made sure the heater in our room was off, but we had a difficult time sleeping with no fresh air or cooler air option. Other than that, it’s a nice place to stay.
