In the Words of our Monterey Guests

Went too brunch to celebrate a birthday. The menu was interesting and had good variety, food was yummy, the bottomless mimosas were great. The staff was patient and friendly. They moved umbrellas around to block out the sun and turned heaters on and off for us to keep us at the right temp. We say outside and it was beautiful and comfy. Just overall great.

Very nice clean hotel. A relatively short walk to town in a decent neighborhood.. The room was comfortable and everything was laid out well. Parking was close to the room too.. I was staying in early February and the rates were good too. I definitely recommend this whole hotel.

We had the Tuesday “Date Night” paella meal; it was great! The service was excellent and food was very tasty. We were visiting from out of town and it was a very nice experience overall.

Everything was great. The room and the facilites were so nice and clean. It’s walking distance to the downtown area and the wharf. The staff were more than helpful with everything we needed. I would stay there again for sure.

The room was updated and nice. The bed was great. The location was perfect walking and driving distance to everything.

The hotel was nice and easy to locate. The room was clean and staff was very friendly. Restaurants near by. Pet friendly, that is very important to us.

This place has old charm. I stayed here for a birthday weekend and the room was great, loved that it had a window that could open and window shutters instead of blackout curtains. It was nice to have the military trumpets as my morning wake up call. Although, you can hear your next door neighbors noise it wasn’t super loud and people respected the quiet hours. I would suggest that the hotel check the mini fridge before guests use the rooms if I had stayed a little longer I would’ve said something. The mini fridge did not keep any of my food cold that I had to throw away and repurchase because it was meant for a morning hike.

Spacious two queen bed room. This place is old so I was a little iffy about it but it’s pretty well maintained. Room and bathroom were clean. It’s centrally located to go around Monterey and Carmel too. They have a restaurant that has happy hour daily except for NYE apparently. A couple things suggestions…doormats to wipe your shoes before going into the room. It’s been raining and it was gross to bring wet shoes into the room. They need signs telling people not to leave their car in the driveway when checking in. A couple inconsiderate guests blocked both driveway lanes backing up traffic for people wanting to enter the property to park. Pillows were a little flat. Btw if you’re a light sleeper you might want to ask for a room that doesn’t have one above it. You can definitely hear people walking around.

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa is located right in the heart of Monterey and has become our go-to place to close out the year and welcome the new one. From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless—even though we booked through a third-party site. Parking is first come, first served, which was manageable. Our room was exceptionally clean and very cozy. We stayed in a king room with a fireplace, which made the stay even more enjoyable, and the heater worked perfectly. The only minor downside was that the coffee maker, mugs, and creamers were located in the restroom, which felt a bit inconvenient. Other than that, the grounds and facilities were well maintained, and despite the rain, there was no flooding anywhere on the property. Overall, it was a great stay. Would we stay here again? Absolutely.
