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.

Beautiful hotel

From the moment we arrived until we left 2 days later our stay was wonderful! The staff greeted us upon arrival, our room was very clean & comfortable with an amazing view of Monterey bay! The valet were very helpful & as we were checking out they graciously allowed us to store our luggage & car while we visited the aquarium. Breakfast was included in our stay & was served to us on a silver tray! Thank you Spindrift for your hospitality! We highly recommend this hotel to anyone!
