    Not a big deal but having to pay for parking instead of it being included with the room price.

    The room was just right, not super big but comfortable. The bed and pillows were comfortable (soft but not overly). The AC unit worked great so the room stayed perfect temperature the whole time. Room was overall very clean. It’s nice that you can park right outside your room, extra convenience. Hotel is maybe a 10 minute walk from Fishermans Wharf and a (scenic!) walk 30-40 to Cannery Row. Easy 2 minute drive & 10 minute drive respectively. Plenty of restaurants and cafes within a 5-10 minute walk of the hotel.

    If you use googlemaps to find hotel, then might be best to put in 'Krua Thai restaurant, Munras Avenue' as googlemaps is confusing and takes you to the back of the hotel where there is no entrance.

    The bed was comfortable and shower was roomy and powerful. Decoration and size of the room and facilities were OK. It was handy to be able to park outside the room. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. It had a nice, small pool with sunloungers. The hotel was very convenient being close to the main street and 15 minute walk from Old Fisherman's Wharf.

    A beautiful garden-style hotel in Monterey

    We stayed at this hotel in room 177 on February 17. I was unpleasantly woke up by a constant noise outside at about 3 o'clock. I thought there was a construction outside because the noise sounded like someone used a shovel to hit the ground. It sounded basically every couple of seconds, sometimes loud, sometimes quieter. All in all, the sound was disturbing. I listened to this noise and laid in bed for more than an hour, and finally I couldn't stand it anymore and went out of the room to see where the noise source was, and it turned out to be very quiet outside. I guessed that noise may result from a leaking air conditioner, the water of which fell on a metal surface. In all I hope the hotel can check out this issue so that future guests are no longer disturbed.

    This garden-style hotel is beautiful and serene, with plenty of parking lots. The breakfast is delicious though not free.

    Room size was quite small for international travellers (for locals with not as many suitcases might be okay). Location is not in the centre, some homeless people were seen up the road (not at the hotel though which is good).

    Room was clean and aircon was great. Parking right in front of room was very convenient. Walking distance to a strip of restaurants and cafes.

    Car with smashed out rear window in the parking lot near our room was a bit unsettling. Truck in the parking lot with hood up like it was being worked on. Bar could have stayed open later.

    Room was nice, roomy and clean. we liked being in walking distance to many attractions down on Alvarado St. , the wharf and Cannery Row. Just a 10 minute drive to Carmel.

    Walking distance to downtown and the wharfs...be aware of which building you end up in.

    Parking was $17/night. I don't recall a parking fee last year and given the amount of parking available, I'm pretty bummed to have had to pay that on top of everything. I can't quite figure out the room situation. Last year we booked a standard king room and our friends did as well. Our room was tiny with only a small bathroom and not much room around the bed. Our friend's room, by contrast, was huge (literally 3+ times the size). We were told that it's because we were in an older building. In an effort to have a bit more room, this year we splurged and booked a King Suite which was significantly more expensive, yet seemed to be about the same size as our friend's "standard" king room. The bathroom was amazing, but there's no way we're going to pay that much again...we just want the decent-sized normal King room. The hot water was laughable...we got about 5 minutes before it was all but gone which obviously isn't enough for two people to shower. To my knowledge, there's no elevator to the second floor where the suites are. We're young enough that this isn't normally an issue, but I had a torn meniscus and carrying the luggage up and down the stairs was a nightmare. Finally, the suites are next to the hotel's office and it was a bit noisy. Normally not an issue, but still.

    This was our second stay at Casa Munras and we will quite likely return as the location is great and the rooms are nice. We splashed out on the King suite this year which was cool but...see below.

    We loved the hotel and pool but there was a wedding there and we were placed on the floor below those groups. At all hours of the night we were woken up by excessive noise, loud banging, slamming doors, and it ruined the otherwise wonderful stay.

    We love this area of Monterey, close to Alvarado street and great food and a quick drive to Cannery Row.

    Our room was on the bottom floor and we experienced some movement noise from the room above. But other than that it was fairly quiet.

    It was a good location with easy access to Carmel, Pacific Grove, and Monterey attractions. And we were within walking distance to a number of restaurants. Our family of six were accommodated in two rooms, which the staff had arranged to be fairly close to each other.

    The sound of the heater turning on and off was loud and bothered us throughout the night. The bed covers and pillows were stained in some places. The TV is very outdated and may be difficult for older guests to maneuver.

    The staff was attentive and nice. It's in a great location and we felt very safe in our room.

    Parking was a bit of an issue. There was one night where all the spaces were taken and we had to park in a handicap parking spot far from our room.

    The location is perfect, the amenities were top notch and there was a coziness to our room. The restaurant had great options. We definitely plan to return.
