In the Words of our Monterey Guests

Very pet friendly! We were allowed to leave our dog alone in a crate in our room. We didn’t hear any other dogs barking either. This hotel feels like a secluded oasis, yet only a 10-minute drive from cannery row and the aquarium. The rooms are spread out like a motel with parking in front of each room. The architecture and landscaping are beautiful and feel more like a European town rather than a motel. The room was very clean and comfortable!

Quiet and clean.. lovely staff

Perfect for Tapas and drinks. Went to try their tapas on a Sunday. Was surprised with the oysters and wine deal. We were so full on oysters and Tapas that we didn’t even need a main meal! Best service by Stephanie. Will definitely go again | Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 | Reservation: Reservations recommended | Seating type: Indoor dining area, Outdoor patio / terrace, Booth seating

My room had a fireplace and balcony love it …

I love staying in this hotel whenever I’m in town. The beds are the most comfortable I’ve ever stayed in. They keep the pool heated year-round and it’s walking distance from the downtown scene. This is a great property extremely comfortable. Rooms: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5

We had been wanting to try Esteban for quite a while and we are glad we did. Their four course Paella special included a lot of delicious food

Had a hidden gem vibe. Great service by Jessica and great food with fresh ingredients. Also vegetarian friendly with many options. Lamb and brussel sprouts are a must have

Great hotel with wonderful amenities, including delicious Spanish restaurant Esteban onsite, a day spa, beautiful grounds, well appointed rooms with fireplace & EV charger too boot. Centrally located, walking distance to downtown area with restaurants & bars.

We were seated on their large and open patio on a sunny day. Very cheerful! Our server was fun and helpful. We ordered several tapas dishes which were delicious plus red sangria. I think next time I’ll have a margarita which can be ordered by the pitcher! Great for a group. My favorite dish was the empanadas and my husband’s was the octopus! We’ll go back soon. I forgot to mention their Happy Hour offerings were nice and they also offer $1 oysters on Sundays, I believe. Not sure about other days. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Visited Esteban on Mother's Day for Dinner. Looked like they had a special brunch for Mother's Day. It wasn't busy for dinner. Enjoyed everything. Would get a paella with seafood next time which would probably have more flavor. We really loved the Brussels and I ate all the crust from my son's pizza. The bread was so good. We found street parking easily on a Sunday night.
