Simple, quaint, elegant boutique hotel.

Quiet elegance, cozy ambience, restful and relaxing property. The heated pool feels like home. The sporadically placed seating invites you to enjoy a moment of tranquility. Each room is designed with Spanish influence. Beds are high quality firm and pillows are feather. Bathrooms are quaint, and provide all the necessary cleansing needs. The fitness center is small but provides all the necessary equipment for a good workout. Hotel staff deserve 5 stars as they are always pleasant, helpful, and genuine. The Esteban restaurant is delicious. (*fun fact, there is an on site herb garden where you will find chefs clipping for the dinner service and drinks) I especially enjoyed the Brussels sprouts. There about three gas fire pits to sit by and enjoy tapas and beverages. In the hotel lobby, enjoy fruit infused water and complimentary fruits in the afternoon. In the morning find delicious hot coffee and tea complimentary. Overall, this hotel is a great choice to reset.

Nice Place, Pleasant Patio

Had a nice preconcert dinner here. We sat on the patio and enjoyed a couple of appetizers and the paella. I would be happy to return the next time that I am in town.

Room was a good size and clean and tidy. Check in was easy and great to be able to park near the room. Although we only used the pool once, the hotel had great facilities and was easy walking distance to the main visitor attractions. I would definitely stay here again if I was in Monterey again.

Heated Pool was refreshing even when outside temp was 60 F. Celebrated our 50/51st Anniversary Stay here. Been coming here since 1976.

2of us dined on Brussels sprouts, garlic prawns, paella for 2, and red sangria. The food was delicious - we’re trying to figure out how to create the Brussels sprouts (perfect blend of crispy, salty and sweet), portions were generous, and the service was friendly and prompt. The paella was equally delicious — another time we would order a different 2nd tapa as there were large prawns in the paella. The evening couldn’t have been more enjoyable or delicious. We ate inside next to the fireplace.
