The guest rooms all have either ocean views—complete with loveseats to cuddle while you contemplate the currents—or overlook Cannery Row, and there are wood-burning marble fireplaces to warm you up after a day of ocean breezes. Just be sure not to miss out on the daily complimentary wine and cheese in the lobby from 4-6pm. You don’t even have to leave the property to get a bite to eat at the hotel’s Paradiso Trattoria, which serves seafood, pasta, and has an oyster bar with a pretty impressive variety of the slippery suckers.

Without sounding too much like a press release, we’ll agree that the Inn enjoys the perfect location in Monterey, right on the water, and just down the street from the world-famous aquarium and the Cannery Outlet Stores.

To celebrate the new design, the Spindrift is offering guestrooms starting at $149 per night on weeknights ($199 for an ocean view), and $179 on weekends ($229 for an ocean view) now through March 31.
