The hotel was perfectly situated to be able to wonder to the Pier, along the bay and up towards the Aquarium, once we parked up we didn't use the car once. Kids really enjoyed the still warm cookies upon check in and check out! Friendly staff, clean hotel, GREAT location! Room was a good size and fit our family of 5 perfectly! I would definitely stay again!

This place has always been amazing, but the room renovation that is going on currently, is outstanding! Great job on the decor. It flows very nicely with the lobby. We were told that it should be completed by early May. We'll be back in June! Thank you Portola!

This is a large hotel in a good location with convenient parking. Our room wasn't so great. The window looked up at the feet of people walking past on the street outside which was strange since we were on the ground or first floor I think. It made the room quite dark and we were not tempted to leave the curtains open. Aside from that the room was nice and very comfortable.

We stayed 2 nights as part of a Trafalgar tour. Hotel was very well appointed in a central location to shopping and wharf area. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of variety. Rooms were very well appointed to make our stay very enjoyable. The fires were nice to sit by enjoying a nice glass of red wine after a long day.

I recently attended a conference that was held at the Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay. The entire experience was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone planning a conference, company retreat or just wanting to get away for a few days.
