  Para viajar al pasado...

  El hotel está muy bien ubicado y cómodo, he leído muchas críticas de que estacionar era complicado, no fue mi caso, no utilicé el valet parking y lo dejé en la avenida pagando el parking hasta las 21hs creo que a partir de ahi es gratis hasta las 8am, de lo contrario el hotel te cobra por este servicio y el parking.- Todo el hotel es de ensueño como si estuvieses en una casa antigiua, realmente muy bien cuidado, al que le gustan las antiguedades va a quedar maravillado, nosotros utilizamos este hotel como descanso de Los Angeles a San Francisco de modo de hacer el Big Sur y las 17 millas, las habitaciones con vista al mar son de película, la verdad describirlas son un lujo para los ojos, tienen todo los servicios que se necesitan, todos, el hogar, TV, WFI, caja de seg, cafetera, sillones increibles, sin palabras, las camas son fantásticas!!!, la limpieza perfecta. En el lobby por la tarde sirven vino con quesos, perfecto!!! excelente y de categoría.- Ahora bien, con todo esto expuesto, puede ser que no haya baño en el lobby!!!!!!, es increíble, llegué al hotel luego de manejar todo el día, y tenía necesidad de ir, y tuve que esperar a que me entreguen la habitación¿?...trate de hacer memoria y no recuerdo un hotel sin baño en el lobby, por otro lado nadie hablaba castellano...¿?, insisto un hotel que aspira a un nivel determinado debe contar con empleados que hablen al menos dos idiomas, por último el hotel incluye desayuno, realmente el mismo es muy muy muy malo, termine desayunando en otro lado, hay una casa de té en Pacific Grove muy linda. En resumen, si te gustan las antiguedades te lo recomiendo,por supuesto el precio del hotel es alto, sino busca otro....el Intercontinental parece muy bien ubicado y bueno, sino buscate algo por Pacific Grove, ceo que es más accesible.-

  Precioso y confortable hotel en frente del mar

  Justo al lado del acuario (que hay que ver sí o sí) y delante de la preciosa bahía de Monterey, este hotel es confortable y acogedor. El servicio es fantástico, con una atención constante pero no estridente. Las habitaciones tienen mucha personalidad y la chimenea es un complemento ideal para una noche romántica. Ofrecen queso y vino al anochecer, que no pudimos probar, y el desayuno en la propia habitación por las mañanas, que no es especialmente destacable pero sí abundante y correcto.

  Realmente romantico

  Es un hotel muy pequeño enfrente de la playa.Realmente es el sitio perfecto para un fin de semana romántico.Donde todo esta cuidado al detalle. Me encanto la sensacion de poner la chimenea mientras degustas un vino californiano y ves el mar por la ventana. El pueblo también es muy bonito y tiene muchas atracciones turísticas

  Great Staff, Great Location, Glad they are remodeling!!!

  Spindrift Inn 652 Cannery Row, Monterey, CA 93940-1021 This is a very quaint older hotel located on Cannery Row. Yes, the same Cannery row that is the title of a John Steinbeck book. It sits right on the ocean. I will start as I do with all my reviews. I do this to assist the travelers to make good choices with all the information possible. I also want to share the information with the owners and managers of the places reviewed so that they can run the best business possible. To start with they were beginning a remodel as we were leaving. They are taking advantage of the Covid closure and said they were remodeling. I know that the last night we stayed we saw them hauling out the old mattresses. We were also told that the beds were being replaced. I honestly slept like a baby but would love to see the curtains over the bed go away. The Spindrift Inn is old and dated. My wife called it quaint and slightly aged. She also referred to it as European and Victorian. I am confused about which of those are accurate, but we both agreed that it is in desperate need of updating and cleaning. Remember I am very picky about hotels. The first thing I noticed was that the room is small, and it was musty. Next were the dirty floors and the Victorian style things (curtains) hanging above the bed. Musty I figure is because it sits on the ocean and I have some grace for that. If you want a good ocean view you will have to pay for it. The front desk refused an upgrade because I was a long Term stay (6 nights). They did give me a corner room on the 3rd floor. It had a partial ocean view which was very partial but a true statement. I did get to leave the window open and hear the ocean at night. It was very nice. Most of the windows are painted shut, but there was a nice window seat. I wont waste too much time with the curtains over the bed because they are removing them. Smart move. I even tried to kill a spider that just found its way back into the curtains hanging above my head at night. Yuck! The Hardwood Floors are beautiful but need to be refinished. They were scuffed and very dirty. The room over all just needs a fresh coat of paint and a good cleaning. There were two nice chairs and a footrest, but again they were completely filthy. There is a gas fireplace that was a great touch and nice to sit by in the evening. Oh, before I forgetThe management has to do something with the heater controls! It was confusing! We had a good laugh when it came off the wall and the batteries flew out, but it was frustrating to say the least. It is also programmable. The programable part is horrible as someone set this thing to heat when I did not want it too and freeze us out the rest of the time. You need to put in a simple thermostat switch. I do not believe that there is air conditioning since it sits on the ocean. I would like to see all of the windows fixed so that they open and I could get a nice breeze flowing threw the room. The continental breakfast was delivered daily and wonderful. The lady that delivered it was so sweet early in the morning and the food was very fresh. During our stay we had fresh fruit, toast, coffee, juice, hard boiled eggs, and cheese. All the food was fresh and delivered right on time. We filled out a card and hung on the door each night. There was not daily room cleaning due to Covid restrictions, but they gave me a trash bag and towels every couple of days. They told me to leave the trash outside the door and they were very good about keeping the halls cleared of food trays and trash. The staff at the Spindrift Inn are very friendly and accommodated any of our needs. I even had my son come to the hotel and they were gracious enough to park his truck for the hour he was visiting. There is a valet only parking and there is a pretty high charge for that daily. Make sure you account for that in the total room fees. There is a fridge that is very small and no microwave! Overall, the hotel is in a great location, has great staff, and it appears they are going to clean and remodel. I will be back to see how it turns out. I would recommend asking for a remodeled room and pay for the ocean view. I hope that they paint the whole place and refinish the floors. We also ate at the attached restaurant Lalla Oceanside Grill and it was great. I will review that separately. Here are my ratings. Remember 5 is the best. Location 5 stars, Cleanliness 3 stars, Friendly Staff 5 stars, Breakfast 4 stars, Value for the price 4 stars, overall rating 4 stars.
