In the Words of our Monterey Guests

Excellent service, food and drinks. Really nice ambiance with a fireplace located at one end. There were six of us dining. We tried most of the tapas items, two mains and two desserts. This was easily one of the best meals I've had in a while. The service was attentive without being over-bearing. However, the food is the real star here. Everything was perfectly cooked, prepared and presented. The Flan and Basque cheesecake are both must-haves for dessert. My new favorite in Monterey!

Very pet friendly! We were allowed to leave our dog alone in a crate in our room. We didn’t hear any other dogs barking either. This hotel feels like a secluded oasis, yet only a 10-minute drive from cannery row and the aquarium. The rooms are spread out like a motel with parking in front of each room. The architecture and landscaping are beautiful and feel more like a European town rather than a motel. The room was very clean and comfortable!

Perfect for Tapas and drinks. Went to try their tapas on a Sunday. Was surprised with the oysters and wine deal. We were so full on oysters and Tapas that we didn’t even need a main meal! Best service by Stephanie.

Quiet and clean.. lovely staff

My room had a fireplace and balcony love it …

I love staying in this hotel whenever I’m in town. The beds are the most comfortable I’ve ever stayed in. They keep the pool heated year-round and it’s walking distance from the downtown scene. This is a great property extremely comfortable. Rooms: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5

We had been wanting to try Esteban for quite a while and we are glad we did. Their four course Paella special included a lot of delicious food

Had a hidden gem vibe. Great service by Jessica and great food with fresh ingredients. Also vegetarian friendly with many options. Lamb and brussel sprouts are a must have

Great hotel with wonderful amenities, including delicious Spanish restaurant Esteban onsite, a day spa, beautiful grounds, well appointed rooms with fireplace & EV charger too boot. Centrally located, walking distance to downtown area with restaurants & bars.

We were seated on their large and open patio on a sunny day. Very cheerful! Our server was fun and helpful. We ordered several tapas dishes which were delicious plus red sangria. I think next time I’ll have a margarita which can be ordered by the pitcher! Great for a group. My favorite dish was the empanadas and my husband’s was the octopus! We’ll go back soon. I forgot to mention their Happy Hour offerings were nice and they also offer $1 oysters on Sundays, I believe. Not sure about other days. I highly recommend this restaurant!
