• So worth the price, really just an overall great value.
• Nothing.

“My cousin and I had a great time, were very pleasantly surprised and really loved the accommodations. The restaurant was great, the pool was phenomenal on a cool night (heated wonderfully) and we have absolutely nothing bad to say. As a first time Priceline user, I'm thrilled and a huge fan!”

• The outside dining area with fire pits.
• Room was very small.

“While the room was very small, everything else made up for it - the staff, restaurant, happy hour, and location.”

• Great attention to small details like quality soaps and shampoos. Updated rooms are nice.
• There was a lot of noise from the parking lot and in general due to single pane windows.

“This hotel was great. Good attention to small details. They obviously converted an older hotel into this newer one, but they did a good job with new faucets and new finishes. The staff was excellent, the service was outstanding, and the food at the restaurant was great. In the morning there is some noise from the other guests in the hotel and parking lot, but overall a great stay.”

• Beautiful recent renovation, classy. Restaurant was fabulous.
• Everything was as expected or better.

“Historic property in the heart of Monterey, close to everything. Very comfortable and well appointed rooms, good beds. The recent renovation of the public spaces and some upgrades to the rooms have definitely taken the Casa Munras up a notch. Esteban, the new restaurant is gourmet treat.”

• Convenient location, well maintained grounds, clean rooms.

• The pool was way to warm

“I know we were only guaranteed a room for 2 people, they only give price-line winner a room with a queen bed...we had to get two roll-away beds for our childre 12 & 16, for an extra charge...so I really didn't save much money would of been better off using a different service to be guaranteed a room with 2 beds.......”

• check in staff great. hotel grounds better than i expected room very nice beds/linens fantastic
• location was a little dodgy-- for me-- but right dwntwn walk to downtwn no problem -- i just wanted to be closer to the ocean

“i did not expect this hotel to be nice, due to the location. i wanted by the ocean and got just outside of dwntwn. HOWEVER-- that being said--- once i got there i changed my mind. although obviously a remodled old hotel sprawled everywhere, once you go into the lobby and your rooms you notice all the upgrades. the beds/linens where top as were the bathrooms. great makeup or computer area. also the little "radio" had great sound. the ONLY thing that i had a prob with was the filthy carpet. the room didnt smell but the carpet was beyond filthy. since they are pet friendly-- one can only wonder if it was pet urine.....”

• The hotel was pretty with beautiful plants/flowers.Room was private.
• The toilet got stopped up. Parking was tight (but free)

“The hotel was in a good location. It had beautiful flowers and plants. The pool looked really nice. The plantation shutters were nice. They had cookies at the front desk and a firepit in a courtyard. The beds were double and a little small. The bathroom floor could have been cleaner. The toilet got clogged very easily although they were prompt about coming to the room to service it. It was an older building. The parking was tight but free. The staff was very nice and friendly.”

• Swimming pool was well heated.
• Bathroom floor tile is tacky.

“This is Motel and not a Hotel. Larkspur has done a cheap makeover of the rooms. Bathroom floors have tacky tile and grout was somewhat dirty. Very faint musty smell in bathroom.”

• I liked the historical feel of the buildings. It was a good location. The staff was helpful.
• No jacuzzi near the pool. The room was really small, no bathtub and no fridge. The TV was on the side of the bed.

“The parking was cramped and was everywhere between the buildings which took away from the overall beauty and charm as you walked around the grounds. The pool was small but nicely heated like bath water, but we were disappointed that there was no jacuzzi. The room was clean, cute, but small with few extras. The staff was really nice and they gave us a complimentary fridge, fresh fruit (apples) after hours and let us check out a little late.”

• Quaint, older property w/caring, thoughtful, abundant provision made for the traveler. Warm, cozy, clean, awesome!
• Continental breakfast would have been nice.

“The staff was caring and helpful. The property (except office building) is an older property. Our room was one of three in the building it was in. While older and while entrance to room was outside (rather than inside hallway), it felt safe. Deceptive at first, it seemed I was entering an old, run-of-the-mill room. Wrong! This king-size bedroom had plush bed linens, high ceilings, fan, sitting area, luxury bath toiletries. It was quite simply a wonderful room!”

• Location.
• Dirty hallways, tired fixtures in bathrooms, ceiling fan did not work and no A/C.

“Rooms are very small but quaint. The room itself was very clean but all hallways leading to the room were in dire need of cleaning, painting and upkeep. Garbage bags, laundry bags lined the halls during the day. A good value at the priceline bid price but not much more.”

• Helpfulness of the staff
• Vey old room. Updated with new carpet and bedspreads but the bathroom was ancient.

“Not what I expected for a "Boutique" 3 star hotel. The restaurant was 'tapas' style dining not appropriate for kids. It seemed like a spruced up Travelodge.”

• Lbby remodelled-looks great; rooms just painted.

“Can't beat the price overall quality comfort and location (no refrigerator). The breakfast buffet was terrible - $3.95 for child 10 and younger- $10.95 for adults - it should have been free or at most $3.95 for everyone. It was the worst breakfast I've had in the last 10 years- The omelet was insipid. The coffee was poor and the OJ clearly from concentrate. This breakfast buffet should be avoided completely. My 2 middle children both complained of how poor the omelet was-but for four bucks I couldn't care. Worse, however, was how the cook was so gleeful in taking my omelet order-as if he was Wolfgang Puck. It was so tasteless, it was comical.”

• Location.

“The Casa Munras is a nice property in a very good location in Monterey. Close to popular sites (Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf) and in walking distance to many restaurants,bakeries and Downtown.”

• Very helpful staff and great service.
• The room was disappointing and inability to sleep due to noise was not helpful.

“The hotel lobby was very impressive, staff was extremely helpful, business center was nice, restaurant was OK ( only went there for breakfast). Then we went to our room and the disappointment began. The room was set up with the TV in a very awkward place off to the side of the room. Bathroom was OK, just the bare minimum for a bathroom. Bed was great, very comfortable. The worst part came after dark when we were trying to sleep. We could hear everything above us and beside us from other rooms. We heard babies crying, people talking outside of our door and could even take in the second hand smoke from someone outside of our room. This hotel would be a great hotel if they updated the rest of the hotel as they have their lobby area. Maybe it is just the room that we had but it wasn't fun.
At night they plug in their vehicles to charge the battery in preparation for the next days work. (Very loud and annoying).”
