"Spindrift Inn is your best choice in Monterey if you have your heart set on ocean views. Right on Cannery Row, this boutique hotel is perfect for a couples trip as you can watch the sun sink into the Pacific Ocean right from your room. Plus, it’s an easy walk to all the downtown Monterey restaurants, so you can easily roll yourself back to your room after dinner. Ocean view rooms start around $300 a night midweek and $460 a night over the weekend." - allison green
