Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa - A historic boutique property with Spanish-inspired dining, spa services, and heated outdoor pool in downtown Monterey

Located in Monterey's heritage district, this historic Monterey hotel features Spanish-influenced architecture with 32-inch thick adobe walls. The property includes a restaurant serving Spanish-California cuisine, a full-service spa offering massages and body treatments, and an outdoor pool heated to 80 degrees year-round. Guest accommodations range from 200-square-foot Traditional King rooms to 570-square-foot Manor House Suites, each equipped with granite bathrooms, HDTVs, and USB charging ports. Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa provides a fitness center with Peloton bikes, open from 6 AM to 9 PM daily. The on-site Estéban Restaurant serves dinner nightly from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM Sunday through Thursday, and until 9 PM on weekends. Situated less than a mile from Old Fisherman's Wharf and 1.5 miles from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Casa Munras offers access to the best Monterey restaurants and bars on Alvarado Street.

Pros

Historic property features original adobe walls and Spanish architectural elements

Restaurant offers authentic Spanish paellas and house-made sangrias

Year-round heated outdoor pool maintained at 80 degrees

Fitness center equipped with Peloton bikes

Cons

On-site parking requires additional fee of $17 per day plus taxes

Restaurant dinner service ends relatively early at 8:30 PM Sunday through Thursday

“The hacienda-style architecture makes this property a standout in Monterey; its character is immediately apparent. I especially note the heated outdoor pool and the Estéban Restaurant, both rarities that enhance the stay. While some rooms could use updating, the central location near Fisherman's Wharf and the pet-friendly policy are definite advantages.”

Comfortable stay near Fisherman's Wharf

great locationcomfortable bedeasy parkingroom delay
the location is great with walking distance to restaurants and the fisherman's wharf is about a 10 minute walk. the room featured a very comfortable bed and a cozy fireplace. the hotel provides easy parking close to the room which was very convenient for unloading luggage.
i arrived at the hotel at the standard check-in time of 4:00 pm but my room was not ready. i waited until 5:30 pm for the room and did not receive any gesture of accommodation for the delay. a complimentary drink would have been a nice touch during the wait.

Acceptable but flawed stay

The hotel restaurant provided a comfortable meal.
The room was not as expected. I found it needed a fresh coat of paint, and some furniture looked old. I was also surprised that the pool view was blocked by a fence.

I liked that the heated pool was available. The rooms were sufficiently spacious and also well-located near downtown. I found that there was enough parking near the room too.
I noticed clumps of hair on the shower wall. It looked like someone pulled it from the drain and left it. The bathroom generally wasn't clean. There were a tons of other hotels nearby too.
