In the Words of our Monterey Guests

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!

Visited Esteban on Mother's Day for Dinner. Looked like they had a special brunch for Mother's Day. It wasn't busy for dinner. Enjoyed everything. Would get a paella with seafood next time which would probably have more flavor. We really loved the Brussels and I ate all the crust from my son's pizza. The bread was so good. We found street parking easily on a Sunday night.

Relaxing nice atmosphere, especially on patio. Beet salad is terrific.

We really enjoyed this hotel. We took the bikes that were available from the hotel and rode all the way down to lovers point. It is close enough to the beach to walk or ride a bike. We also enjoyed that a Trader Joe’s was next-door. It is an animal friendly property but still very clean.

Great Bloody Mary bar and special high quality pepperoni pizza was excellent. Great outdoor patio! Service was great. | Food: 5/5 | Service: 4/5 | Atmosphere: 4/5

We loved our stay at Casa Munras. The property is located within a 10/15 walk to the Fisherman’s Wharf, Marina, and Cannery Row. Downtown is even closer. The hotel has an old school vibe with lovely grounds and a fabulous restaurant. The guest room was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We had a special request and it was honored. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience at the hotel.

Esteban Restaurant at Casa Munras in Monterey CA -- We've been staying at Casa Munras for years - a historic, hacienda-style multi-room retreat located in Old Town Monterey, for its great location, its fantastic pet friendliness (they have a separate dining menu for fur babies!) -- and of course, Esteban Restaurant. While Loquita in Santa Barbara tries hard to deliver the spectacle and theater of eating Tapas, Esteban unapologetically makes Tapas the star of guests' dining experience - and a delightful one at that: an open fireplace, an open-air patio surrounded by Mediterranean and coastal California plants -- think olive trees, draping bougainvillea, agave -- and scents of lavender and star jasmine. And the artful creations that come out of the open kitchen are superb -- we had the pulpo frito -- a perfect balance of crispy and soft textures, Boquerones -- bright, tangy with a clean vinegar punch, seasonal seafood stew -- that we can't seem to get enough of, pear & Manchego salad -- sweet, savory and creamy, Wagyu meatballs, and stuffed mushrooms to round it out. The cuisine is Spanish-inspired Mediterranean paired with fresh Northern California produce and seafood. The service is impeccable -- we've come to know some of the servers over time, and they us. And the dining experience is never hurried -- you are encouraged to stay, linger over coffee, dessert if you still have room for it -- and meet fellow travelers -- the way Tapas are intended to bring people together. If Loquita is about spectacle and theater, then Esteban delivers something far better: Soul. Nicely done, Esteban! Five Stars. No hesitation. No asterisk.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of numerous restaurants and shops. The beds are true queen-size and very comfortable. Upon entering, we noticed the room smelled lovely and was clean. We booked a standard double queen and the room was spacious. The front desk staff was friendly, making the check-in process smooth. Additionally, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly, and being able to cast streaming services from our phones was convenient and nice added bonus. The pool is small but the area is well maintained.

Nice place, comfy beds, clean rooms, will definitely stay here again!!

Great hotel. Family friendly and quiet. Pool is heated. Short walk to beach and wharf. Parking does get full, so you may have to park away from your room but still on the property. Staff is very friendly. No hesitation to stay here again.
