"I’m so glad I chose the Portola Hotel for my stay in Monterey. After going back and forth between several hotel options, this one ended up being the perfect choice—and I’ll definitely be staying here every time I come back! The location is incredibly convenient—right in the heart of Monterey, walking distance to everything I wanted to explore. Parking was a breeze, and I used the valet service throughout my stay. It was quick, prompt, and made things so much easier. The hotel itself is extremely clean and well-maintained. My room was spotless, quiet, and the bed was super comfortable—I slept so well each night. Housekeeping did a fantastic job every day, keeping everything fresh and tidy without ever being intrusive. Overall, the Portola Hotel provided a relaxing, hassle-free experience in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Monterey! "

"nice."

"All the employees that we ran into a really nice and I like the little sitting room where we could go and hang out and read and have some little snacks. I really liked that even though our view of the ocean wasn’t that large it was nice because we could sit on the patio and see it see the surf as it reached the sand. Too bad there wasn’t as much sun as we had hoped. And there were no lounge chairs. I don’t know"
