In the Words of our Monterey Guests

The location is excellence if you want to walk to restaurants and entertainment. The Hotel staff was very responsive and polite. The restaurant on site was delicious with great service. Shrimp appetizers and oysters are solid. 200 years and still a going. This hotel is a gem.

Outdoor patio is warm and pretty with relaxing vibe. Food was really good. Highly recommend.

Stayed here for a wedding and had a great time. The hotel is beautiful and John at the front desk was very pleasant and welcoming. The room was clean, cozy and well stocked. The bed was so comfy! The hotel is very central and we were able to walk to and from the venue, to dinner, to the grocery store, etc. Rooms: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5 Hotel highlights: Quiet

OK, you have to try the Brussels sprouts, Crispy Bruselas. We ordered them as a side dish and they are by far the best I've ever tried including my own. For Tapas we had the Croquetas and Seared Scallops. At this point in our culinary delight we realized we needed bread to soak up all the sauce deliciousness. My advice, order bread with your Tapas. For entrees we had Mussels and Clams and Pesca Del Dia (halibut and risotto) The mussels were fresh and expertly prepared. They were delicate - not rubbery. Again, the au jus was a bit spicy with a definite chorizo seasoning. Another highly recommended dish is the halibut. It was the best cooked halibut, flaky & light, the risotto was almost like Mac-n-cheese, but frankly, we ate so much we couldn't finish the risotto. Everyone was very attentive so the service was good. We felt so welcomed as even the managers checked in on us. Lastly, the ambiance is intimate and private even though you're at a major intersection in Monterey. If I could give 9 stars I would. Don't miss this best kept secret of Monterey dining

I have been going to Casa Munras for several decades. I have always loved it and I still do. I have not visited in many years because of the prices, but recently they had some mid-week specials so I went for it. I also have a new dog that I really wanted to have him experience Monterey and Carmel and this hotel is very dog friendly. I was greeted by Henna at reception. Let me tell you, this wonderful person made our entire stay fabulous. She gave us the BEST Room and was beyond kind. Rooms: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5 Hotel highlights: Romantic

From the front of the house, beautiful to the person who waited on us, fabulous! My husband and I have been dining at Estéban twice a year for many many years. Needless to say, our experiences have been wonderful, yet yesterday’s dinner exceeded even the best of our experiences. Please let the host, waitress, and chef know this. Thank you and have a pleasant rest of 2024 and a prosperous 2025!

We stay at Casa Munras every few months as a short getaway from San Jose. We are consistently pleased with the room, the staff and the amenities

Lovely food, great wine …. Another great meal. We will return soon.

Beautiful hotel with gorgeous grounds. Staff were very helpful. Very convenient to all the places we wanted to see. Very centrally located and we walked to a different coffee place every morning. My husband and I indulged in a couple’s massage at the attached spa.

We ordered the Paella del Mar, and because there was a 45-minute wait on the paella, we ordered a couple of tapas - the Gambas el Plancha and flatbread. The tapas were delicious - and so was my sangria. When the paella was served, it was beautiful - and it tasted as good as it looked! We shared the paella; it was plenty for two - especially after the tapas. The atmosphere at Estéban is warm, welcoming, romantic, and comfortable. The outdoor patio is lovely and in nice weather, that's where we'll be! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5
