In the Words of our Monterey Guests

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.

What an absolutely pleasant surprise! It’s always a little anxiety provoking to reserve in line sight unseen but this exceeded my expectations! From the beautiful reception area with a cozy fireplace to the pool (I was the only person there one day), to the beautiful rooms and super comfy bed! It was perfection! I will definitely stay again !
