I booked a room with an Ocean View, and got one with a view of the street. When I called to let them know, they said they had one left, but it would be an additional $150. I was not happy about that, so I stayed stuck! 😡

We love coming to the Spindrift Inn. There were some issues with our room. The clock was only on 4:57 and couldn’t be fixed, the toilet would start running once in a while due to the seal not holding. The windows were very dirty and difficult to see out of them. We were also next to a room that decided to party loudly until 4 AM as we were trying to sleep. We wish you still had feather beds as the bed was uncomfortable for us. We are not used to such a firm mattress. We do still love the Inn and look forwards to coming back.

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.
