Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good
"The room was nice. It was a little dated but seemed very clean. The bathroom had ample lighting and a large shower. We booked a courtyard room but it did not actually have a view of the courtyard. Overall I would stay here again but would only book if I was able to get a really good rate."

"The outdoor areas in the common areas are very nice, as are most of the rooms with balconies - with spacious outdoor areas. Not all rooms have outdoor areas. Dislike: parking can be rough. Small spaces close together, so sometimes you end up parking in the front of the restaurant or other far off areas to find a space, and go top it off, they charge $30 a day for parking."

Hotel Abrego

Hotel Abrego

8/10 Good
"Everything was wonderful. Beautiful, clean place. Had a luxurious feel to it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was that if you booked through a 3rd party like Expedia, you will be charged an additional 20.00 for the amenities, which is specifically for the breakfast, parking and the free wine you get (even if they clearly advertise that these are "included" in your booking). Be careful too, because Hotels.com or Expedia will charge a "property fee" of 20.00. If you ask what that is for, they will say it is for the breakfast, parking and the free wine BUT you will get charged an additional 20.00 by the hotel again. I disputed this, and I still haven't received my refund. The hotel itself was a wonderful experience. I am just very very upset with the deception and extra charges, when the ad clearly states the amenities are free. I chose this place over another because of the free breakfast, which is your typical continental breakfast. Little did I know, after checking in I would be charged for it."
