In the Words of our Monterey Guests

The chef's creations are very exciting. We love all the tapas offerings starting with patatas bravas and the Spanish ham and cheese plate. The new to us Moroccan lamb was super. The vegetable dishes such as the baked/roasted carrots and seasonal Brussel sprouts and asparagus were all hits. Our table had assorted food tastes and we were all quite happy. We did leave enough room for desserts which also got high praise from local and travelling companions. The room does not have the best acoustics so we look forward to the reopening of the patio this coming summer.

The food was delicious, specially recommend the iberico pork and the Del Mar Paella! Service by George was amazing and we enjoyed our dinner at Esteban.

Although we were only in Monterey for one night, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Munras. The location is perfect; easy to drive to from the freeway, but also walkable to the old town and Fisherman’s Wharf. The room was comfortable, and full of character with parking space right outside. The pool was a nice space to chill for an hour too. Our only regret was not staying longer! Rooms: 4/5 | Service: 4/5 | Location: 5/5 Hotel highlights: Quiet

Fireplace was nice, smaller than expected but did a great job warming up the room. The pillows were comfy, and the overall setting & atmosphere of the hotel is very cozy.

The hotel is about 10 minutes by walking away from the center with restaurants an bars.

We booked 2 rooms, one was a king room and the other had 2 queens. I would say the rooms are on the smaller side which is not unusual for the area. The rooms are impeccably clean with very nice toiletries, much appreciated after a day of sight seeing. Parking was easy enough. I did not have a meal at the restaurant on site. I did not use the heated pool but saw many guests enjoying it. The hotel location was close to restaurants with different options for dining including a chipotle. I would 100% recommend this hotel without hesitation.

We had an amazing dinner and our server was so attentive to our every need. We will definitely be back.

Love coming to Esteban for happy hour tapas (4:30-6pm). We had a light dinner and split a bunch of tapas on the patio. The asparagus was a favorite with tarragon and macron almonds.

This is a wonderful Spanish and Mediterranean tapas restaurant, so it's great for trying different dishes and sampling a variety. We began with what you might call a Brazilian negroni. Here the gin was replaced with cachaca which is the Brazilian cane sugar liquor; this was superb with great balance of bitter and sweet. Our tapas were patatas bravas which was crispy potatoes with a spicy sauce, garlic aioli and a fried egg on top, absolutely delicious. We continued with a flatbread of oyster mushrooms, goat cheese, chili sauce and fresh arugula; this could be a great dinner all by itself. Finally, we shared a Paella del Mar which had lots of clams, mussels and shrimp and most importantly the crispy rice at the bottom. I will definitely remember this Paella. A memorable dinner, thank you.
