Great ocean view and close to everything

Overall, we had a great stay with ocean view and decent accommodations. The staff team was very accommodating and helpful. We had some issues with coffee makers but they provided us with coffee while fixing it. We could not turn off bathroom fan so had to close the door. Very close for kayak rentals.

Charming get away

This was a very special place to stay. The staff were all super friendly. The room was nice and clean. We booked an ocean view room and it had a great view. It may seem just a tad outdated .. but I think it was charming and pretty well taken care of. I wished we had spent more time there. Also the in room breakfast was a really nice touch.

A Beautiful View from Spindrift

We had a really pleasant stay at the Spindrift Inn. We mentioned that we had just gotten married, and they sent a bottle of wine up to the room, plus got us in prior to the listed check-in time. The view over Monterey Bay we amazing, and we saw numerous otters/sea lions/distant whales during our stay. Unfortunately, the windows opened only a few inches (not at all like the pics on the website, see pic comparisons below), and were quite dirty. We actually spend a fair amount of time trying to clean the windows with Windex wipes in order to improve the view. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom was sufficient. We got food from the downstairs restaurant Lalla one night and it was delicious, especially being able to eat while watching 7 otters on the water below our window! Staff was very pleasant, especially Diana at the front desk. We will stay here again.
Much different from the actual functionality of the windows, which was a dissapointment
