“Great stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

The rooms in this hotel are charming and comfortable. The bathroom in our suite was not immaculate and when we brought it to the attention of the front desk they immediately gave us a small credit towards our stay. They also allowed us to have 2 rooms with the cpsecond at half price. The pool area is lovely and the on site restaurant excellent!

I am very happy to hear that you had a "Great Stay" at the Casa Munras. Thank you for mentioning our Family Promotion, it's actually one of our best kept secrets. When you reserve one room at the regular full price, you can get a second room of equal value at half price. It's perfect for families traveling for the holidays.

Thanks again for your review.

Sincerely,

“Monterey Hide away”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

My husband and I were wanting to get a weekend away and we chose Monterey. Casa Munras was centrally located. Couldn't see ocean but we could walk downtown and to Cannery Row if you wanted to get in a nice long walk. Rooms were not quite like they looked in picture, small but they were clean. We had a nice fire place. Spa was great although the waterfall hot tub they talk about is nothing like they make it sound.

Room Tip: If you use Spa make sure you have them go over all the charges. We received a few surprises when we...

“Clean Comfortable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

My wife and I stayed at this location 30 years ago. Our room had been updated, it had a flat screen TV, fire place, and the most COMFORTABLE bed we have ever slept on. The bathroom was average size. The room was comfortable, clean, but not very large. But it did meet our needs. You are located near a busy street and you will hear the am and pm commute traffic (if the window is open) for a couple hours, but it does die down at night. If you book a unit in the rear of the complex, it will be even more quiet. We were a 10 minute drive from the aquarium. Dennys and other eating establishments are close by. We were able to check in early, and we found the staff to be friendly and helpful. I would stay at this location again

Room Tip: Ask for a room in the rear of the complex, and for a upstairs unit.

Thank you so much for returning to the casa munras after 30 years. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and our signature Featherborne bedding. It's great to hear from guests who remember the hotel from years ago. In fact we had another couple recently who stayed with us for their honeymoon 50 years ago (when you could get a room for $20 a night), and just came back to celebrate their anniversary. Always makes me smile. Thanks again for staying and we hope to see you sooner next time.

“Great Get Away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Nice hotel. Clean and spacious rooms. We had a room with a fireplace, which was very nice, but it was hot in Monterey, so we did not use it much. The restaurant (Esteban) was very nice but pricey. It is within walking distance to the downtown area and Cannery Row. Great staff, nice pool and very comfortable rooms.

Thank you for your review. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed your Deluxe King with Fireplace room. The weather is cooling off a bit now and the fireplace is a great addition in the evening. We hope that you will come back and stay with us again.

“Great location and very nice hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Ok it's not a five star but the price is right. The staff are very helpfull and friendly. The hotel has a nice historic look with modern feel.I have been going her for the last 25 years and it's imporves with age. Very cozy and that's what we look for. The service can't be beat as they go out of their way to help.

Room Tip: I'm not giving away my secret as I will never be able to book my favorite quiet room.
