Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

We will be back. The location is good, with everything fairly close by. The grounds and room exteriors are so charming. The room interiors were somewhat dated but clean and tastefully decorated. Our dinner at Esteban was amazing. They have beautiful patio, but it was a little chilly the night we were there. I'm looking forward to patio dining on our next visit. The spa ambiance was nice and relaxing. The service - specifically my deep tissue massage from Alma - was fantastic!

We had such a great stay here. Our check in guy was fabulous! Friendly and helpful. Room was comfy and spacious. AC worked great. Great coffee in room. Excellent location. This was our second stay but the first time was years ago. Would totally come back.

Hotel is amazing and staff is very friendly and professional. We arrived a few minutes early and they allowed us to check in. The rooms are very nice and the location is wonderful. Again the staff is so professional and knowledgeable. It made for a wonderful stay.

Excellent location as it is within walking distance of everything. The room was clean and nice. The coffee was very bitter, so we door-dashed coffee from Peet’s. The service was excellent. Next time, we’ll try the restaurant.

This hotel is very romantic and charming. We checked in fairly late on a Friday night and the gal who helped us was so friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking onsite. Our room was located on the 2nd floor overlooking the pool. Nice room, comfortable bed, plush bath towels. The property is very spacious and tranquil. I loved the location of our room. Very walkable to lots of restaurants and shopping. Would highly recommend staying here!

Lovely place to stay. The room was very clean and well maintained, with everything you could need. The hotel is within walking distance of the local shops and restaurants, as well as the the sea front and Cannery Row. We didn't use the pool but it certainly looked clean and inviting. A very nice place.

Really cool place, good rooms though a little small. Clean and tidy though with comfy bed. Able to park the car outside the room. Easy stroll into main street and fishermans warf. On site restaurant had a pleasant feel and breakfast was good.

It doesn't get better than Casa Munras!!||Based on the glowing recommendation from friends who recently stayed here, we decided to celebrate a milestone birthday at Casa Munras. Our 4-day stay was so wonderful, we immediately booked another get away with them.||The property is meticulously maintained with attention to detail and the location within walking distance to many of Monterey's favorite attractions.||Since our goal was to simply relax and enjoy all that Casa Munras had to offer, we enjoyed delicious evening meals at Esteban, their on-site restaurant. The outdoor patio was beautiful and very cozy with heaters to keep us warm. We were especially delighted with their new breakfast offerings at "Grab N Go" - an absolute perfect way to start one's day.||We so appreciated the outstanding staff who were always warm and welcoming. Thank you Henna, Rebecca and Zach and all the other awesome staff who made us feel so special. You are truly experts in hospitality.||We can't wait for our next stay with you.

Given some of the reviews online we were a bit weary of staying here, especially given the price. My family and I are so glad we did! Complications with travel seem to follow us everywhere to the point where it's a running joke and we pack a rosary for good luck. We need to be careful where we stay. I booked our room over the telephone, and though I can't remember who I spoke with, they were extremely pleasant and accommodating. I brought up my concerns from the reviews stating some of the rooms were outdated or noisy. I just asked to be in a more updated room in the quiet section. This was no problem at all. I also asked about extra charges or late check-in as these were concerns from the reviews. All of my questions were answered to our satisfaction. The day we arrived I called the front desk to let them know we would be arriving a little later than check-in as we were coming from San Francisco airport and there was traffic. I just wanted to make sure we wouldn't be counted as a no-show. The person I spoke with was extremely friendly and assured me that it would be noted. When we arrived, the front desk employee was very pleasant and quickly got us checked in. We were given a map to direct us to our room, which was easy to find. Our room was definitely in a quieter area of the property, it was clean and updated with all of the amenities. The HVAC unit worked, as was a complaint in some reviews, and we didn't hear our neighbors above or next to us. (I am a light sleeper.) The second night of our trip our bad travel luck kicked in. There was a crazy rainstorm and during my shower our room completely lost power. My husband went outside to see if anyone else had lost it and found a maintenance worker who was very helpful. He said they weren't used to that kind of rain and wasn't sure when the power would come back on. In the torrential downpour he secured us a new room and with a golfcart went back and forth between the rooms as my husband and I threw our belongings in random bags and towels just to get them over to the new room dry. We are beyond thankful for his assistance. Though I could hear children loudly running up above us in the new room during the day and night, the children seemed to go to bed early enough that it didn't affect my sleep. I can definitely see why there were complaints about the walls being thin or noise. Fortunately, it did not inconvenience our stay. There was plenty of parking if you had a car to park. We had family picking us up and driving us around, so we did not incur that extra charge. There were many excellent restaurants, wine tastings, and things to do within walking distance and we definitely checked it all out. Highly recommend Wild Plum for breakfast and Comanche for a wine flight! And would DEFINITELY stay at Casa Munras again!

To be completely honest, I probably would have overlooked Casa Munras while looking for a hotel, but I was coming to Monterey to see some friends and they recommended this place. This is a bit more motel like with each room being entered from the outside. The location of the hotel is great. You can walk around downtown from here and get down to the water easily. While the rooms are a little dates they have everything you need (including a fire place). They're pet friendly and the pet fee is completely reasonable at $50. The grounds are maintained nicely and their pool looked very inviting, but we didn't use it this time. The price was also hard to beat, you're really getting a great value staying here. It's a great hotel for families and it shows as there were multiple big groups of families staying here. Parking is also easy. I'd definitely stay here again.

This is one of the best places to stay in Monterey. Just in the outskirts of downtown Monterey. Quiet and walkable to downtown Monterey and Fishermen's Wharf. I highly recommend a stay here. Onsite restaurant and also a massage facility.

Stayed in room 134, room was dirty, no carpet, TV broken, shower hardware was broken and not secured properly. Faux wood flooring was patched and very unsightly. A very expensive hotel, not worth the price. It is definitely a 2 star or less hotel.

Stayed here with the girls for a girls trip - had a 2 queen bed room, & it was the perfect stay! The room was impeccably clean! From the carpets to the tile in the bathroom, everything was spotless. There are these adorable personal touches with how the towels are folded which really made us feel special. Even the toilet paper was folded, very fancy! The pillows, beds, & linens are extremely comfortable. My favorite part was the fireplace within the room - I am truly a sucker for a fireplace. The room was spacious & so comfortable the 4 of us to be in. We even played board games at the end of the night in front of the fire place! This Hotel is centrally located to tons of shops, wine tasting rooms & food joints. We had planed it specially so we could walk to & from the hotel to the tasting rooms (safety first!), & it was no more than a 7 min walk! The area is very safe, too. Casa Munras will be my go-to spot next time I am in Monterey!

After reading some of the reviews, I was iffy on staying here. But after talking it over with my wife, we decided to give them a shot. Glad we did. Booking the reservation on their site was painless. Check-in process easy and fast. The room we had was perfect, nice and clean with a fire place. The only reason i didn't give them a 5 star is because the shower was small, when you stand in it, the water doesn't hit your body not even your head. I had to hold the shower head with one hand. I'm 5'7" and the water hits me on the head, you probably had to be 7 to 8 feet to take a proper shower.

Very nice accommodations and equally nice staff. I was there two nights and it was a lovely stay. Great location with lots of restaurants close enough to walk to. My one qualm is the parking situation; I don't mind paying for parking but the lot was very difficult to navigate (lots of tight squeezes). But finding parking after 8 pm is a STRUGGLE. Both nights I had to park on the opposite side of the property and walk in the cold/rainy weather. I think having assigned spots would make things much easier

Comfortable and spacious rooms in a convenient location made for a pleasant stay. Check in was quick and easy, the property was fairly easy to navigate. There's a restaurant, spa and heated pool on site. I will say that we called and left the spa several messages to schedule a service before our visit and never received a call back so that was a bummer. The property itself is clean and well maintained both outside and inside. They also still offer daily housekeeping, which seems like a rarity at most hotels after COVID. The rooms themself were clean, comfortable, spacious and had the added comfort of a fireplace. I'm not sure if the fireplace is standard in all rooms. Also, although our rooms in the two story building were spacious, there were other guests who had a room in the one story building who noted those particular rooms felt quite small. The bathroom had a seperate tub and shower. There's also a nook in the room for the refrigerator and coffee machine. The property is located very close to Alvarado street, the wharf and many restaurants. Although in a popular area, the nights were quiet and peaceful. We were impressed with our stay and would return.

We love this place, that's why we've been coming here for years! Not only is it dog friendly, but the location is perfect. It's near all the shops and the down town area with lots of restaurants and other amenities. We were warmly greeted by Hanna who was super nice and professional from the moment we walked in. Stephanie was also nice to accommodate us for an earlier check in. Thank you ladies! The restaurant Esteban was a nice restaurant that had a great variety of food selections so we had brunch there. Their pool was nice and warm so we did a morning swim after the rain and had a wonderful time. We were also hoping to use the jacuzzi but were told it's been out of order for a while, so we hope they can fix that as we love taking advantage of the extra amenities. Over all, we love this place. Super clean and it comes with a spa for the spa lovers.

Family favorite! We love to travel with our standard poodle and we're lucky to find this place right in reach of all the downtown action, with none of the noise. Casa Munras is a nice hotel for traveling with pets. Right when you enter, there is a statue of a Dog and a bowl of fresh water for pups walking by. In a previous stay we stayed in room 120 (standard king room) and it was very nice. We were directly in front of the pool and dog area. My husband noted that there were no bad smells or noise. On our most recent stay we were in the Manor House Suite in the main building. This was a last minute availability and upgrade opportunity since we were in town for our wedding and would need more space than our previously booked King deluxe room. Since we were making our room the hub for our wedding party and preparations, it was nice to be in the suite which allowed for social gatherings in the living room. It even came in handily when hair and make-up started at 6:30am and my Husband needed to sleep before going to a groom's man room. The staff was so attentive and accommodating. Especially since there are no elevators in the main building and we had a lot of stuff to shuffle. For the last day of our stay we needed to switch to another room since the suite was booked for that Monday (we booked Thursday - Sunday by sheer luck thanks to Lea's quick action!). Under any circumstance, room switching is a pain, especially when you have a lot of things to move around. The Casa Munras team helped make it a breeze. During our initial check-in the rep (so sorry don't have your name) checked us into both rooms from the start so we wouldn't have to deal with desks and cards in between. On transfer day we were even provided with a small storage space to place our items between check-out and being checked back in. We went to brunch after check-out (12:00pm) and received a call close to 1:30pm that a room was ready! We were moved to a lovely cottage (room 118) which had parking directly in front of the room. This made loading and unloading belongings much easier. The rooms are clean, modern touches with a casual elegance and comfort. A historic property within walking distance to all the Monterey fun. Bonus is being so close to Alta Bakery and being able to beat the lines! We look forward to our next stay at Casa Munras! Thank you, Lea, Roberto, John, and the other wonderful team members who's names are escaping me at the moment. Thank you for making our stay feel like home!

This place gets 3.5 stars in my book. Please note that I did not utilize their spa services or restaurant during my stay. Three and a half stars isn't bad, but it doesn't leave a memorable mark in my head either. This hotel is situated in Downtown Monterey and is within walking distance to lots of shops and even the fisherman's wharf. During my stay, everything felt oddly familiar and it dawned on me that we had stayed at this hotel, but back in 2015. Room rates since then had increased over 68%. Nothing seemed to have changed much since then either, which I have mixed feelings about. Pros: -Great walkable location to many restaurants and activities -Beds are super soft, comfortable, and clean -Really friendly and helpful front desk service -Nice aesthetic and theme to the location Cons: -Parking is $17/day -Potentially loud environment/we could hear people walking around outside and closing doors around us -Rooms are small and cramped -Bathroom towels were thin and not soft -No soap dish (I know this sounds silly, but the hand soap provided came in a paper wrapping and turned to mush after a day). Where are we supposed to put the soap? -No trash liners. All of the trash cans were just plastic containers. I opted to toss my food related trash elsewhere. It seemed really inconvenient and potentially gross to toss something liquid or messy in there. -Poor temperature unit* (see below) -For over $190/night I expected more amenities in the lobby area. The only ones mentioned were agua fresca (during the day) and coffee (in the morning). This is even subpar to what a budget motel would offer. *Overall the stay was fine. But I was quite disturbed that the temperature control unit (for heating and cooling) did not register an accurate temperature of the room. When we checked in and arrived, the room was SO HOT and dry. After turning on the AC the temperature (I had to turn it to 61F for cooling to even kick in, even though it felt like it was in the 80's) went back down. We went out for dinner and came back and again it was SO HOT. I got a bloody nose at some point and it took some effort to cool down the room so I wouldn't turn into a raisin. If I needed to stay in downtown, I might go back to Casa Munras. Because the location is really I think, the key here. But if I wanted a location that gave you more for my money, I would probably opt for another hotel/accommodations even if it's more out of the way from downtown.

My partner and I decided to stay here for our anniversary this week while we explored Monterey Bay & Carmel-By-The-Sea. This hotel has it going on with all of its amenities, including complimentary bikes, a beautiful spa, and a seating area with a fire pit by the office. They had some chill music playing on the speakers so pookie and I danced by the fire before we retired to the room for the night, it was definitely a nice memory. The room and bathroom were VERY clean, the water pressure in the shower was to die for, and the fireplace was very romantic. The only complaints we had were small ones, such as unexpected $20 parking fees per day, and the breakfast which was advertised as "grab-n-go" ended up being pricey which led us to just going out to breakfast elsewhere. We did accidentally leave some drinky drinks in the fridge so whoever cleans our room, if you see this, please drink them in honor of us We will definitely be back again before the year ends!

This was our second time staying here, and this will probably be our last time. When we first came down we rented a deluxe king room which was nice and Roomy with a fireplace. This time we rented the traditional queen and was not impressed. It was super small inside. Nothing more than an overpriced motel. I came with my three kids and we were upstairs. The stairs were a pain with suitcases. Also we were on the top end and can hear everyone. I ended up paying $634 for 2 nights. This time we used the pool which was probably the best part of the hotel. The rooms tv didn't work with apps because their WiFi isn't good. Also the house cleaners didn't come until super late in the day around 3 when we were already in our hotel. I also didn't like that they didn't have any garbage trash bags in the garbages, and there was no hand soap. I will look for something more valuable and modern for the price next time.

My boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and I wanted to stay somewhere nice. Overall, the experience was nice but I probably would not stay there again. The good: The beds are sooo comfortable! Like sleeping on a cloud The rooms and hotel were nicely decorated It was walking distance to down town- we did not have to drive our cars once The not so good: The "free WiFi" didn't work and reception was spotty in our room The rooms were tiny and did not feel worth 200+ a night (if you stay here I would not recommend their basic king rooms) The layout felt like it was a renovated motel as opposed to a resort like it's advertised to be

The heart-shaped pool is the biggest highlight of Casa Munras, beautiful day and night, and it's heated (yes on the Californian coast, even in summer it's cold!). Friendly and thoughtful staff. Dated but well maintained and cleaned room. Ask for a corner room upstairs in one of the "houses" toward the back for a quiet stay. The architecture is very Californian and reflects and blends into its environment which is a nice touch. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and manicured. The hotel is located in a quieter part of Monterey. Their on-site restaurant is expensive, but across the street there is Krua Thai, a reasonably priced Thai restaurant (which provides take out service too). Down the road there's a "fast food" concept Japanese place with a kiosk for self service order (bento boxes; ramen; all good). WiFi was alright, though video conferencing was choppy. Walkable to the main "downtown" street where there are farmers' markets every Tuesday.

Finally treated myself to body wrap and facial. Jacqueline was awesome. Service was prompt and spa is super clean. Felt very comfortable and totally relaxed. Highly recommend this place!!

Had a great stay here this past weekend. Highly recommend Estebans restaurant. Location is convenient to major attractions. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Will be back on our next adventure here in Big Sur.

We need a place to stay at the last minute, and Casa Munras was a great choice very clean and comfortable.

UPDATE: Hotel replied below that they refunded me, but I don't have any refund in my account and have spent several hours on the phone with my bank. All I am asking is for the hotel to refund me the $500, which hasn't been done yet. Didn't apply gift card and tried to charge me full amount. Even though we had talked about the gift card several times.

We thought our stay was decent - solid place to stay with a dog. We got a room in the back of the hotel so we had to drive our car along the tight parking area in a zig-zag formation to get to our hotel room. Be careful driving, not a lot of space to move especially if you have a big car. They charge $17 a night for parking, then $50 for our pet to stay. For 2 night stay this resulted in $100 additional charges, on top of the $200+/night fee. Quite pricey for a 3 star, motel type hotel. Check-in was easy, was done in just a few minutes. The room was quaint - enough space for us to stay in, but quite small relative to our Vagabond hotel in SLO the next day. Our dog didn't have much space to move around in. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were way too soft (just like any other hotel). I had a hard time sleeping here. The floor felt dirty, I regretted not bringing slippers and had to walk barefoot at times. Very thin walls, you can hear folks walking upstairs plus neighbors talking. No breakfast nor coffee - just a tiny Keurig machine with 1 creamer cup. Would've been nice for the price and all the fees we're paying to provide coffee/tea in the lobby for guests. There is a small patch of grass for dog, that's it. Kind of hard to find any other grass area for our dog to walk near. The fitness gym is very tiny, a few equipment, mats, weights. I tried it out once and there was 2 ppl there already. The heated swimming pool is available to use during winter time as well. We tried Esteban tapas for happy hour - left underwhelmed. The tapa happy hour prices were only 1-2$ cheaper than full price, and the foods were OK. It's dog friendly on the patio area - it was raining when we went and did not like the patio area. Way too cold and wet. Overall, not a bad stay, but would probably check out another location if we're paying so much for a stay. Update - upon checking in, the lady mentioned no coffee available in lobby in morning and that there's a machine in hotel. Did not know that she misspoke and they do indeed serve coffee.

The first thing you have to know is there is no elevator for all the outer rooms; thus, you must shlep all your luggage up the stairs. The second thing you need to know is parking is $17 per night. And, it's true, the walls are thin and you can hear your neighbor. Other than these inconveniences, Casa Munras is an ideal place to walk to the downtown area, Cannery Row, and the Monterey Conference Center. If you want to see the aquarium, I'd recommend taking the bus which is nearby, otherwise taking a car would mean more parking fees. The room has WiFi, plenty of outlets to plug in all your electronics, a Keurig machine with pods, Stash tea bags, a safe, two towel hooks (unheard of) and a mini fridge. As for the other amenities, there are bike rentals (1/2 day $30, full day $40), pool, spa, and restaurant --all of which I did not try. As for the staff, all the people I talked to were helpful and pleasant.

My husband and I love coming here! We got engaged here. The place is great it's next to downtown Monterey! Everyone that works there so friendly. It's fun place to go and get away. The beds are comfortable and fireplace :)

Worst front desk manager and reservation agent experience I have ever had. Called in today and again the staff was unhelpful and could not even accommodate a small request, from a mistake their booking partner made. Wish I could provide 0 stars. Do Not Stay Here!

Love love LOVE this wonderful hotel. Check-in is a breeze, staff are friendly, professional, and accommodating. The rooms are wonderful, clean, and cozy. We've stayed here several times over the past few years and we look forward to each stay! Casa Munras is also centrally located and just a couple blocks from downtown and Trader Joe's, Peet's Coffee, and about a 10 minute walk to Fisherman's Wharf. Highly recommend!

Casa Munras made a fraudulent charge on my card and when I called their manager about it, he never called me back, so I had to get my bank involved. I almost assumed it was an accidental double charge but the amount was different. They had given me a bill that one of their waiters "accidentally" signed, which I thought was messed up but was willing to overlook (sort of... I took a picture of the bill just in case. Glad I did) until I realised they were just trying to get one over on me. Obligatory "would give zero stars if I could".

Great location, friendly staff, always accommodating in terms of room requests and things like that. We recently tried out the the free bike rentals that come with the room, rode the majority of the trail up to Pacific Grove, highly recommend checking that out. Beds are very comfortable although a tad squeaky -_- , views are great depending which room you get. Bathrooms are pretty nice, big Spanish tile type of design. If you're into walking the location here cannot be beat.. 10 mins to Fishermans wharf, 20 to cannery row, 5 to downtown Monterey, etc. This is by far our favorite place to stay and we've been here a lot over the years and always look forward to coming back!

Casa Munras is a pet-friendly and comfy hotel in walking distance to downtown. The aquarium and the wharf is about 10-15 minute drive. When I first drove here, my gps took me behind the hotel and I had to drive around to get to the entrance. It would be easier to set your gps to Krua Thai, the restaurant across the street from it. It is easy to miss the entrance unless you look up to see the sign; otherwise, there is a second entrance further from the intersection but I believe it is an out-only. The lobby can be found at the archway entrance on the right. Right when you enter, the front desk is immediately on the right and you can check-in or check-out there. Otherwise, they have a large seating area, a restaurant, and fresh water for guests. Check in was very quick for us. We did call the hotel and were able to check in earlier instead of the estimated (4pm). They do have additional costs: ($17.00 parking/night) ($50.00 one time pet cleaning fee, two pets per guest room) They do have 2 EV chargers available near the pool, but owned outside of the hotel. It is ($2.00/kwh) and the charging is fairly slow. 5 minutes away, the Del Monte shopping center has 14 tesla super chargers and I would recommend charging there instead. The hotel is designed to be motel-like with two floors per each building. If your room is upstairs, the stairs to your room may be on the side of the building or through a door in the middle and up the stairs after that. Parking is abundant until after 9 when people come back from their activities. Upon check in, my room was upgraded to a King bed with fireplace. The room was clean upon entry but smelled musty in comparison to the other rooms my friends stayed in. It didn't bother us since we knew that the hotel is a little older. The room has two lamps with a plug outlet in each. In the corner, there is a business desk with plug outlets there as well as USB outlets for charging. Sitting in front of the bed is a 40" TV with all your typical necessities like Youtube, Netflix, and Roku. The bed was large and comfy. On a scale from (1-10, 1 being soft and 10 being hard; I would say it is a 4) The bathroom is a bit small and the bathtub low but the water heats up fast and the pressure is a good 7/10. The noise level in the room was at a minimal but we did hear some banging once because of the cleaning lady on the other side. There is a fireplace but it looked more like a pizza oven. I did manage to somehow turn it on when I played with the light switches but never figured out how to turn it back off. The AC unit is built under the shuttered windows. Overall, my stay here was very nice and just what I imagined. I enjoyed it very much and would come back here again in the future when I visit Monterey.

This is a must go place when visiting Monterey ! With well manicured grounds, clean rooms to overall top notch customer Service Casa Munras is excellent . My husband and I were there for the long 3 day weekend and everyone from the front desk to the manager's were excellent and they also accommodated our request to upgrade to a room with a fireplace despite the hotel being almost full - also in a prime location!

Cute place, spacious rooms, and perfect location near downtown Monterey. Parking lot is a little confusing but there were plenty of spaces. Quick walk to Alta bakery and Trader Joe's was a plus!

Super cute & cozy hotel! I am staying in the Jr. Suite and I love the fireplace , it adds a luxurious element. There are two sinks & the shower/tub are separated which is nice too. This hotel/spa offers so much with their restaurant, heated pool, & spa treatments! Overall a really nice experience & very close to all the tourist areas. It's a 15 min walk from the pier where you can go whale watching, have some clam chowder, or do a bit of shopping for souvenirs.

I am familiar with this hotel because I have been to their spa a couple of times. I stayed here because I needed to attend a conference in Monterey. I chose this hotel because they are dog friendly. I came with my two english bulldogs. they have crates u can borrow at the front desk for if u need to leave the dogs in the room when you are not there. When I arrived, there was a long line to check-in and only one person working. It took a while to check-in, but they are probably short staffed. I was given a map and able to park right in front of our room which was very convenient. They don't offer breakfast, but there is a Denny's a few steps away. They do have a restaurant on site open for dinner I believe. They have happy hour and you can also order a pizza. they have a heated pool and a jacuzzi. the dog relief area is near where the pool is. The room was cozy. It had all the necessities u need in a room. I do wish the water pressure in the shower was a little stronger, but overall, I had a great stay.

I had a very bad experience. I used to go this hotel a lot of time. I reserved 2 rooms for the long weekend and I just got emergency as my mother is sick so I cannot go and I called the hotel just to change the dates not to cancel but they were not helpful at all and they refused. The cancelation period ended but there is a room of flexibility for better customer experience to change the dates but they just told me that I will lose 50 percent which is 700$ too much

Casa Munras always gets the job done--the rooms are nice and clean. I knocked off a star because I do feel like the pricing is a bit high, but the location of the hotel is worth it in the end. Our favorite spots to eat at during our stay were Heirloom pizza (right behind the hotel) and Alvarado St. Brewing. We loved walking down to Fisherman's Wharf too. The Farmer's Market is right there too, which is so much fun to go to--lots of yummy food there!

Always enjoy our stay and visits here in Monterey. The hotel is walking distance to Fisherman's wharf, Monterey Bay Aquarium along Cannery Row as well as shopping areas to your liking. Hotel staff are courteous and helpful. Our rooms were spacious and comfortable during our two night stay. Ample parking is a big plus along with a restaurant on premises. We'll be here again in the near future.

Last minute reservation made for our stay in Monterey turned out well. The hotel is clean and had what we needed for one night stay. The room with king size bed is warm and cozy. We would definitely return.

I've dined at the hotel's restaurant several times but never stayed here until recently, and I absolutely loved it. Check in was smooth. The lobby is warm and the person at the front desk was so personable and efficient. Upon check in, I was able to select if I wanted a room upstairs or downstairs, and I opted for the former. My room was comfortable, clean, and stylish. The decor perfectly suits the Spanish-style hotel. I especially loved the fireplace and size of TV. Parking was $17 a night. I came and went several times and never had an issue parking near my room. The hotel is located near lots of cafes, restaurants, shops, and other attractions like the pier and aquarium, but it is so quiet that you never feel like you're in a city center. Overall, I had a great experience. I only wish I had more time to stay and dine at Esteban's!

Shout out to J. Ramirez. This gentleman epitomizes customer service. Let us all pray Casa Munras doesn't lose him. Thank you for two amazing nights celebrating Mother's Day!

I'd highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Monterey! The property is conveniently located and is beautiful. I loved the landscaping and how the buildings are laid out. You'll actually feel like you're visiting the CA coast, so don't settle for a chain hotel. The front desk staff was helpful with information about our stay. We went to the bar at the on site Esteban restaurant twice and enjoyed it as a place to unwind. They had indoor and outdoor seating with heaters, like a little oasis. The pool is heated all year like they say. The room was clean and so inviting! We loved the room with the fireplace. Would love to return!

My partner planned for a short birthday weekend getaway to Monterey by booking two nights at Casa Munras Hotel. He chose the Deluxe King Bed with chairs and a electric controlled fireplace which was a pleasant touch--it kept us nice and toasty on a chilly November night. Although, beware, previous commentary about paper thin walls is true on all accounts. You can hear above and beside you from conversations in moderate tones to flushing toilets and stomping, lots of stomping; however, this didn't really bother us much as we sleep like the dead and aren't bothered over trivial hubbub. The pool looked refreshing, we didn't use that feature but perhaps next time. I'm interested in the spa for a Deep Tissue massage but alas, that'll also be for the next visit. All in all, we really like Casa Munras. The location is ideal, walking distance to almost everything; in the morning we walked to this epic patisserie, Parker- Lusseau Pasteries for the most amazing croissants and quiches then headed to Old Fisherman's Wharf for sightseeing. There's numerous historical buildings and museums in between which is a real treat!

It is in a good location. The room is on the small side. The soundproofing is non-existent. We were on the 1st floor and we could hear the people on both sides of us and people walking above us. The people on both sides of us were not talking loudly but you could easily hear their conversations. Instead of standard drapes and curtains the window coverings are wooden shutters My husband did like the bed as he said that he slept very well. He used the pool one evening and he quite enjoyed his swim. There is a $17.00 daily parking fee.

Mixed bag here. On the plus side, the water pressure in the shower is strong and the water gets nice and hot. In the two rooms we had, the counter space in the bathroom was plentiful (think: two people getting ready at the same time with lots of products!). On the minus side, we booked a king room through a third-party booking site and were given a room with two double beds. We went to the front desk to ask them to kindly honor our reservation but were told there were no more king rooms. We then inquired with our third-party booking site and somehow a king room magically appeared. Very strange to be lied to by front desk staff. The walls are paper-thin. We stayed on the second floor and could hear everything (EVERY. THING.) from our neighbors around us. Housekeeping is currently by request only, which we did request for one of our three nights, only to be gone all day and not have any service performed. Parking is plentiful (and $19/night) and it's motel-style so there's a chance you could park right in front of your room. The on-site restaurant was popular, though we didn't try it. Pool is kept to 80 degrees and has towels there for use. Despite the mixed experience, I'd stay here again.

We came to this hotel because of a wedding we're attending which is around the corner. Hotel is ok, its a dated boutique. The rooms are very small but clean.

The painter unlocked the door and walked in on our room at 9am. Not okay. We also had to wait nearly an hour to check in, and 4pm is a pretty late check in time to begin with. That said, clean room and good location. I would have given four stars if not for the huge invasion of privacy.

Property is crammed into a very small parcel of land. Everything is tight. Parking spots are small and dangerous. Doors in the room either scrape against the TV or in the case of shower door, bang into the bathroom counter top. The property charges enough to upgrade their technology. They still have DVD players in the room and a DVD library in the lobby. The TV guide on the TV is outdated and doesn't show the channels. You have to hold your arm up while laying on the bed to change the channels. The blankets on the bed must have weighted 40 lbs. It was impossible to sleep unless you stripped it back to the sheet. Lastly, if you are going to the trouble of putting a pen on the desk, how about making certain it works.

Hotel in general was very nice; grounds are clean and well kept. We stayed at the end of July, in Room 14. The problem was our room was in poor condition; broken standing lamp, with lampshade hanging askew, bedside lamp did not turn on, window screw was bent and broken, several burned out light bulbs, a piece of used, sticky candy on the carpet, and smell of sewer gas in the bathroom. It did not match the way the hotel was kept. The restaurant was really good and we enjoyed the location as well as we could easily walk to the wharf and other local restaurants. Hotel manager did not seem interested in the condition of the room. I might consider staying there again but I would check the room first. We did not complain because we were busy and out and about all day but overall, the room could have been better.

Casa Munras is a classic and I'd looked forward to returning. However, the prices are for a more luxurious property, while the rooms are quite small, the neighbors voices can be heard through walls making it not particularly comfortable. it's well located if you want to be downtown, the staff are friendly & helpful and the pool area is nice. But it was a disappointment.

This was one of the more disappointing stays that I've had at a hotel in awhile. First off, we booked a Cozy Queen room and upon arrival were shocked at the very bare accommodations we were given (see photos). If you're looking for a place to crash for the night - it's definitely bearable. If you're looking for a vacation, you'll probably want an upgrade. So we upgraded to a deluxe king which was much more spacious and felt like an actual hotel room, not a motel room in a monastery. Bring some earplugs, the street noise is very loud (and we live in a city). Finally, the service here is pretty bad: - The boy who checked us in, Andrew, handled a maintenance call in front of us with a lot of sass/attitude. - An older woman next to him mocked a customer who she had just gotten off the phone with. - The masseuse asked me if I had any other "issues" in addition to pregnancy....(which my pregnancy isn't exactly an issue, but the guy who booked my appointment referred to it as that as well). - And finally, when we were checking out and receiving our bill, the woman, Henna, had the audacity to say, "wow you two spent a lot of money." Well, if the photos on your website were reflective of the actual room we were supposed to stay in and we didn't have to pay for parking and a sub-average spa treatment then yes, you're right, Henna, we would have saved money by just staying home. We loved Monterey but we won't be staying here again.

They were able to accommodate our dog, it was quiet, though we went during off season. Food was delish!

I will start with positives of staying here- The flowers and gardens that this place is about is beautiful and I think it does look very charming. My room had a fireplace and I did like that, as well as allowing my dog to stay with me. The bed was very comfortable. Check in was fine and the lady working at the front was helpful and accommodating. It definitely deserves at least 3 stars for these things and being pet friendly (even though my dog didn't get treats or any of the things mentioned that they offer for your pet). The issues I had staying here- The parking was very tight, but it is doable I guess. Just gives some anxiety when trucks park right next to you or you have to go around cars carefully. The next issue I ran into was someone setting their alarm to go off from 5am-9:00am. You can hear everything. The people above- fine. The person next door, nope you'll be up when the first alarm goes off because it sounds like it's in your room. I had to search my things at one point because it kept going off and I started thinking it could be something of mine (nope just the person next door refusing to turn off their alarm). I wish there was a specific area the dogs can go, since i didn't really get any direction to a large portion of grass. You can walk to a park that's close by but it's sketchy. Lastly, the fees. It looks like you have to pay $50 for a pet staying (my understanding was that's a one time fee but I only stayed one night). And then a parking fee-- $17. That seems ridiculous because you wouldn't be able to park anywhere else and it's not like there's great parking (like I mentioned above) but at least it's laid out ahead of time. It definitely felt sleazy as I went to check out and the lady asked me to pay $73 because suddenly the $50 was also "taxed." Coming from someone who has worked in the vet business, I know taxes are sometimes just added just because. So they definitely are scamming you to pay almost $10 extra dollars. So plan for 56-60 instead of 50 for a pet fee. And for someone like myself where this stay was a gift and I was given cash for the extra charges that were laid out, I felt very offended as I explained to the staff that this was a gift for my birthday and the person giving me the gift didn't want me to pay anything and that this room was purchased ahead of time. So definitely would recommend an Airbnb over this place, where you have reviews showing you show no trace of your pet after a stay esp one night, and they wouldn't add extra "taxes" and you can probably even have your own driveway with no ridiculous parking fee. Wish I had a better experience but I ended up leaving 2hrs early and upset with my stay.
