In the Words of our Monterey Guests

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

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 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.

Room was great and I liked being able to cast from my phone to the tv!

Ours was a very last minute booking for an overnight stay only. It is a nice place. The room was large and the beds were super comfortable, with good bedding. Check-in was very pleasant. Thank you. Rooms: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5 Hotel highlights: Quiet

Food outstanding…halibut prepared to perfection with beet salad. Our server Lisedel was so impressive, kind, and genuinely caring!!! She should be a model for all servers. Bartender made a great Manhattan!

The daytime front desk staff and the Ali the Bartender were absolutely amazing! They made sure I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay! My room was very clean and the fireplace was very cozy! I highly recommend!

What a very nice room! What a cute little (and effective) fireplace! Great location for walking around Monterey!

Love this place.. staff is excellent!! Thank you Henna for helping us getting checked a little early so we could check in before attending the motorcycle event!!!!

Ambiance is spacious, airy, cool and the tables are spaced well apart. They've got a nice bar and clean restrooms with a cozy waiting area. Well staffed and quick with service. Food and drink was wonderful! We tried the Octopus (SO good and tender), a fish dish, and a couple of their vegetarian options. All were wonderful, flavor, with fresh ingredients. Will definitely be coming here again and I recommend that everyone try this restaurant once! As a Monterey local, I assumed that Esteban was only open to their partnered hotel Casa Munras. But you absolutely can enjoy a meal here without being a guest - and I highly reccommend you do! I would put Esteban up there with the Grotto, Sardine Factory, and Whaling Station as a few of the top places to try when in Monterey. Happy to find a new spot to frequent.
