In the Words of our Monterey Guests

Wow! My husband and I had tapas for dinner two nights out of three during our short visit to Monterey. Outstanding! The flavors really wake up your taste buds without being too spicy and could not have been better. Highly recommended: Empanadas, croquetas de jamon, roasted esparragos, Westholme wagyu bavette, and crema catalana. Oh, yum! All the employees we interfaced with were helpful, friendly, and showed a passion for their work. Bravo, Esteban!

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.

Amazing food!!!! Even more amazing service!! Would definitely recommend to anyone! Paella is out of this world.

We love this hotel. A cost equivalent to those in Carmel with all the same amenities.

This place is truly remarkable. The octopus was a combination of soft and crispy. Incredible. The shrimps were amazing. Hamachi crido was a mind-blowing sensory adventure - flavor, texture, presentation. Wow. Pure love. Good selection of wines. Super well thought out menu. Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

Easy check-in; wonderful amenities; friendly staff. Comfy bed and wonderful pool.

My friend and I had the Wagyu beef and it was delicious. Our desserts were also outstanding. Prices for dinner were acceptable, and the service was topnotch. I would definitely return.

Highly recommend Esteban’s at Casas Munras. Suggest making a reservation as it’s very lively early! I was excited to try their 3 course paella dinner (unadvertised) and it did not disappoint!! It included a yummy salad, a perfect size mussel and scallop paella which was so tasty. The dessert was a crème Brûlée! Our waiter Salome along with the entire staff was terrific! My husband had the cochinillo pork- a large pork belly prepared to perfection! As well the asparagus and pimientos on the tapas menu was total deliciousness! Every dish was unique and thoughtfully prepared! Service was attentive and the meal beautifully orchestrated! Looking forward to trying different dishes when we return! Bravo Esteban’s!!

A very comfortable, attractive and friendly hotel that because of its history and design feels like a hybrid high-end motor inn combined with a boutique hotel in its center. It has a gorgeous lobby and ample services and spa in the main buildings with rooms that feel comfortable, clean and cozy, and appropriate for couples or families. The location is a good base for seeing the peninsula. While breakfast is not included, we were very pleased with the room rate at Casa Munras. We will return, next time with our teens. Finally, we highly recommend Esteban, the hotel's impressive Spanish-California-themed restaurant.

Elegant, comfortable, welcoming ambience paying respect to Spanish California and delicious, fresh Spanish-Californian-Mediterranean flavors make this a winning restaurant. We appreciated the friendly and hard-working staff. The dishes were suffused with harmonious flavor such as an incredible watermelon gazpacho with herb oil and chocolate mint from the Casa Munras garden.
