In the Words of our Monterey Guests

We love this place and always make a dinner reservation when we come to Monterey once a year. I am amazed how few know of it! The atmosphere is cosy, the tapas are outstanding and the service is friendly and helpful.

Great hotel and a wonderful location Now have stayed here more than once and still agree, great hotel at a wonderful location, definitely recommend Rooms: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5 Hotel highlights: Luxury, Romantic, Quiet, Great value

We stayed for one night and it was perfect. Its not the newest place but everything was clean and it was not far from Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row. The fireplace in our room made it cozy and really warmed up the room. We will definitely stay again

Loved everything about this restaurant, we will defend be back!

The property is clean and quiet. We had a very nice room and we wish we had more time to stay. There were plenty of towels pillows and blankets. I love the trend that I’ve been seeing in the past couple years of moving away from the tiny soap chip to having full size shampoo conditioner and body wash available in the shower.

Very nice property. Love that it's dog friendly. Right in the middle of town. So easy to get around. The restaurant's food was great and service was tip top.

Such a lovely place to stay…comfortable bed, attractive grounds, quiet surroundings, convenient location and great restaurant. We only had appetizers at Estoban, but came home and are trying to replicate the date, blue cheese and ham roll. The bread and olives were wonderful, as well. Next time we’ll go for the full dinner.

A lovely hotel with friendly staff. We were able to check in early. Parking was handy (right outside the door) no lift to first-floor rooms though. Great location, complimentary water/tea/coffee facilities in the room. We only stayed 1 night but would visit again.

We visited Esteban mid week for my son's birthday and found a gem of a place. It has been a long time since we have had such a wonderful dinner. Between the outstanding food, excellent service and wonderful ambiance of their newly remodeled outdoor patio, everything was just right. We started with scallops that were perfectly cooked with a delicate crust on top. Next was the delicious pork bellies that were gone in seconds followed by the delicious Patatas Bravas. Next was the incredible tender Pollo Estofado that was lightly enrobed in delicious mole. My wife had the Chef Burger and Fries and when I looked up from my fish of the day Halibut encrusted with crab, wonderful of course, there were only crumbs left on her plate and her with a big smile saying, "I never had a burger this good and did you know they lightly fried the tomato slice in my burger, and I thought I did not like tomatoes in burgers". But the star of the night was the Wagyu Bavette. The menu says it comes with blue cheese but it is actually a blue cheese sauce that beautifully complements the perfectly cooked Wagyu. I am not a fan of blue cheese but I could not stop raving about this sauce. Last were three wonderful deserts: Traditional Flan, Basque Cheesecake topped with brandied cherrys and Crema Catalana topped with dehydrated orange slices. All three are made in house and are delicious! This is now our favorite restaurant in Monterey and we can't wait to come back. Kudos to all the staff and especially to the chef for a wonderful menu!

It is a beautiful, nice, warm place. Very convenient to go old fisherman’s wharf, I walked to fisherman for 12mins, then 22 minutes to Monterey Bay Aquarium. I like this hotel
