In the Words of our Monterey Guests

Wow! What amazing little gem Casa Munras Garden Hotel is! Hubby and I made a last minute decision to head to Monterey after seeing the weather forecast for Saturday, and decided to stay the night so we could really enjoy the area. Ended up arriving at 11:00 am and asking if we could park in the lot to ride our bikes until check in time. imagine our surprise to find that they had a room available for us early. I'm certain this isn't normally the case, but more due to the fact that it's mid- winter..... nonetheless, we were delighted! What a charming place we found! Rooms small but very nicely appointed, no complaints there. They offer free loaner bikes and even offered to store our bikes overnight if the room became too cramped. Such a lovely offer! We ate the on property restaurant, Esteban, for dinner, and that was so delicious we went back for brunch before checking out! They have a great happy hour 4:30PM -6:30PM seven days a week and we found the food to be delicious and there were some tasty and great value happy hour deals! (I plan to create a separate review for Esteban). Their pool is very nice and kept at a warm 82 degrees year round. We found people enjoying the pool from open to closing time. Very nice!!! The decor, landscape, and pottery are all very beautiful and beautifully maintained. They offer complimentary coffee/tea in the morning, which we also enjoyed. Their location is very convenient, just a couple blocks from the water.... We could hear the seals barking from the property! We will certainly come back ..... don't know when we've enjoyed a stay so thoroughly! A+

Wow! Dined here while staying at Casa Munras Garden Hotel for dinner. We arrived during their happy hour 4:30PM-6:30PM seven days a week. This is a nice surprise considering we were there on a Saturday night! We had the calamari appetizer which was great as it came with artichoke hearts and thinly sliced deep fried lemon as well as calamari, delicious! We also ordered the seafood paella and beet salad to share. Both were really tasty! The paella's rice had a crispy bottom that was delicious! There was a great variety of shrimp, fish, clams, mussels, etc the beet salad was amazing served with a small array of micro greens that really allowed the beets to stand out. I felt the happy hour had some great bargains and sharing the paella and beet salad was plenty for two. We never order dessert but ordered the homemade ice cream which was delicious! Their outdoor seating offer heaters as well as fire pits and music piped in hidden in the landscape. We really had an excellent time. We enjoyed our meal so much that we came back for brunch the next morning. My morning meal was a BLT on a croissant which was sooooo good! It was served with arugula, tomato fluffy eggs, with a jalapeño aioli that I would have purchased had they offered any for sale. Most certainly recommend enjoying a meal here when next visiting beautiful Monterey!

Went too brunch to celebrate a birthday. The menu was interesting and had good variety, food was yummy, the bottomless mimosas were great. The staff was patient and friendly. They moved umbrellas around to block out the sun and turned heaters on and off for us to keep us at the right temp. We say outside and it was beautiful and comfy. Just overall great.

Very nice clean hotel. A relatively short walk to town in a decent neighborhood.. The room was comfortable and everything was laid out well. Parking was close to the room too.. I was staying in early February and the rates were good too. I definitely recommend this whole hotel.

We had the Tuesday “Date Night” paella meal; it was great! The service was excellent and food was very tasty. We were visiting from out of town and it was a very nice experience overall.

Everything was great. The room and the facilites were so nice and clean. It’s walking distance to the downtown area and the wharf. The staff were more than helpful with everything we needed. I would stay there again for sure.
