In the Words of our Monterey Guests

I am a huge fan of Casa Munras! I work in Monterey 1-3 times a month, and I always stay here. I travel frequently for work, and I always opt to stay at Casa, despite the fact that I have loyalty accounts with the other major chains in the area. There are specific reasons why I choose to stay at Casa Munras: 1. Super comfortable beds with comfy, fluffy pillows. 2. The fireplace rooms are a lovely cozy bonus, especially for cooler nights on the coast. 3. The hotel is very quiet, even when they are clearly at capacity! I am a light sleeper and travel frequently, so this is a huge must for me. 4. All the staff is just so friendly, kind and responsive. Work travel can be lonely, and being able to interact with kind employees really makes such a difference. 5. Esteban, the on-site restaurant, has delicious tapas! 6. The rooms are always clean, and housekeeping will come during your stay to refresh your room. Not a given anymore at hotels, and so appreciated! 7. It's a quick walk to restaurants in downtown, and a slightly longer (but perfectly manageable) walk to the water and restaurants closer to the pier. As you can see I am a fan of Casa Munras! I am so grateful for their consistent service and comfortable beds for the months that I am on the road.

Esteban’s food quality and service were excellent -as usual! We always make this a tradition to stop here on our Annual week-long Anniversary Trip. We started with grilled octopus (Soooo good!!) , a Farmers Market Salad, Fabulously Fat Asparagus .YUM YUM YUM ! We also ordered the empanadas for the road. Then the piec d’ resistance — Paella Del Mar! Soooo wonderful and just right for the two of us. Not to be outdone in the dessert round - We shared a healthy and generous portion of Basque cheesecake and traditional flan that was the best we’ve ever eaten! A totally fantastic meal that was accompanied by a Spanish Margarita and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc with a bottle of sparkling water. This was all served up to us by our waiter EJ and crew in a professionally efficient yet relaxed and friendly manner. Thank you all so much for our lovely celebration of 49 years of marriage

This was our second time staying at this place and it was just as good as the last one. The rooms are clean and the hotel feels safe. We will definitely stay here again.

We went for my son’s birthday. A fabulous experience. Everything was delicious and the service impeccable. Lovely setting and triple chocolate chunk cookies for dessert. Many thanks.

Check in was easy and fast, dinning at Esteban’s was delicious our server was very attentive (Salome). Will definitely stay here again.

Salome is wonderful. As was the assistant helping at our table. Wonderful food as always. Carrie

Great place to stay! Walking distance to downtown

Excellent service and beautiful patio. Tapas were rich in flavor and delicious. Nice wine list. Enjoyed it very much!

Great location, easy to find, with so many places to visit, shop and eat, all within walking distances. Lovely room, very quiet and comfortable. Would recommend to couples, or someone who might take full advantage of the spa and restaurant (which I did not on this occasion) - great for treating yourself.

This was our fourth or fifth stay at Casa Munras, and we have enjoyed all of them. It is in a special niche between a full-service hotel and a motel-type place. You park near your room and carry your bags, etc. Rooms open to the exterior, not a hallway. There is no valet parking. The prices are lower than the fancier full-service hotels in the area, but the rooms are spacious, the grounds are pretty, and it's within walking distance to downtown. There is a fantastic restaurant and bar (we recommend the margaritas!) and a well-maintained, attractive pool. We always go for a king room with a fireplace, which is super-cozy in cooler weather. (If you are looking for serenity, you might want to ask for a room that is NOT poolside in warm weather.) But if you're traveling with kids, close to the pool is perfect. The place is big enough that you can have choices. We love it here.
