Traveled with children and the location was perfect to venture out and find restaurants and entertainment. The room was clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was the television situation- it was too easy to accidentally order movies or music- especially with a child with the remote control. The movies for children were ridiculously high priced. The good thing is we didn't stay indoors long since we were out and about the whether was decent. But definitely keep an eye out for accidental ordering of media on the TV.

I recently stayed at the Portola Hotel and Spa at Monterey Bay, and it was an exceptional experience. From the outset, the staff's kindness and attentiveness made us feel incredibly welcome. A notable moment was when they helped us navigate the parking garage with our lowered car by guiding us through the staff exit, exemplifying their dedication to guest satisfaction. Dining at the hotel's restaurant was a highlight. The menu featured a delightful array of dishes made from fresh, local ingredients, beautifully capturing Monterey Bay's culinary spirit. Each dish was expertly crafted, and the service was attentive, enhancing our overall dining experience. The hotel exudes comfort and luxury. Our room was elegantly appointed, providing a restful retreat with all the necessary modern amenities. The spa offered a peaceful escape to unwind and rejuvenate. Additionally, the hotel's prime location offers stunning views and easy access to local attractions. Overall, our stay was outstanding, with remarkable service, delicious dining, and luxurious accommodations. The Portola Hotel and Spa is highly recommended for anyone visiting Monterey Bay, ensuring a memorable stay where guests are genuinely valued and cared for.

The staff is amazing, the location, rooms were great size at least the studio that we had. Monterey & Carmel very dog friendly so definitely will come back. Lots of restaurants in the hotel, good options hotel is connected to Fisherman wharf so you could walk out to get more of a selection. Things they need to do so the stay would be more relaxing and resort feeling, the room doors needs to all be fix its loud when it closes so when someone left you heard it “very loud”.
