Exceptional stay, highly recommended
Pros:

Beautiful boutique hotel, perfectly situated, reasonably priced considering the area, with exceptional staff. Really felt like we had concierge service, especially with the valet parking option

Cons:

Would like it if they put screens on the windows, otherwise amazing. The ocean view king rooms are literally stunning

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and the views were amazing.
Pros:

We had a sea view and that was amazing, nothing like falling asleep to the sound of waves.

Cons:

The only real complaint was the price, but that is to be expected when staying by the water.

We loved our stay at the Spindrift.
Pros:

Anything that didn't work was fixed within minutes. We stayed for a week and were pampered and spoiled by all staff members. A wonderful experience.

Cons:

A wider selection for breakfast would be nice. But most people probably don't stay a whole week.

Not worth the price
Pros:

Proximity to the aquarium, cannery row.

Pros:

location was nice connected to a small beach

Cons:

staff was ok. when you check in they seem very happy and tell you they have a wine gathering in the lobby for guest to come and enjoy between 4-6pm. 2nd night we were there we walked in after a day of walking around and decided to take advantage of the wine tasting there was 3 of us adults and it seemed like they had an issue with giving us each a glass of wine. i wasn’t sure if maybe we were supposed to all share one glass but in no shape or form were we intoxicated as none of us had consumed any alcohol the whole trip other than the 1 glass of wine given. the rooms were very humid the air conditioning if they have any does not work at all. i would probably not stay here again which was unfortunate because the reviews were high and we were looking forward to it.

Lovely room in a vibrant part of town with Carmel a short cab ride away. Will stay again.
Pros:

Lovely quaint room

Cons:

Valet parking was just street parking without worrying about the meter. We did the street parking and because of the timing it cost us $2 overall for the stay rather than the valet price.

Not a quiet retreat
Pros:

Proximity to shopping and restaurants.

Cons:

The beach has public access and there’s no enforcement on noise ordinances. Screaming kids on the beach. Not that I don’t like kids, but when you go to relax and not being able to open windows because of the loud noises make it non relaxing. Other areas that could have been controlled are the hotels methods of keeping clean, they started vacuuming at 2 am!. This was insane, and the opposite of a quiet stay.
