"Despite claims of a recent remodel, the bed was tough and felt like an outdated box-spring. We were stuck next to a loud ice machine that cycled on and off all night; the hotel was full so they couldn’t move us. Walls had unexplained stains running down them, and the bathroom had about five flies we had to swat.

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent
"I like this hotel. Great location, friendly and helpful staff. As a guest, it is important that I feel welcomed. They provided that. And, I like the fact that they had a working area by the elevator at the lobby level with two large tables with outlets. My family will stay here again. Great value. Thank you to the hotel staff."
