Top San Carlos Beach - The Breakwater Hotel Reviews

Spindrift Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time for two nights at the Spindrift Inn, the location on Cannery Row is perfect. The valet parking was great as we had been traveling for over two weeks and had accumulated quite a bit. The staff was amazing and whenever we needed the car it was really quick. The daily wine and cheese was a nice touch as was the daily breakfast delivered to the room each am. Would absolutely stay again."

Merritt House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I was part of a conference at the Monterey Conference Center. I arranged rooms for 2 committee members (myself included) and our 4 out of town speakers each had their own rooms. We were all so delighted with the accommodations! The local charm of Monterey was clear in the decor and the garden. The free logs for our fireplaces were wonderful, the breakfast was fantastic, and the staff were all so kind and helpful. Our conference speakers were so happy to be staying in a local Inn rather than a chain hotel... they raved about Merritt House! 5 stars all the way!"
