Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa
I have always stayed at this property when visiting Monterey. Upon check in they had no power due to a transformer that blew. We had to wait about 4 hours to have power which set us back since we couldn’t get ready for dinner after a 6 hour drive. Outlets not working, no lights, no WiFi Pretty shocked ...

Great hotel, very quiet couldn’t hear your neighbor. I like how they had an open space available and dinner on site if you wanted to stay. We walked around the hotel and saw the beautiful golf course. Did check out the game area. Overall had a great experience.
