Top Central Coast California Hotel Reviews

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good
"It’s hard to know what to expect when you’ve never been to the town before. This is a great place for location. I wanted to check in quick and stretch my legs walking along the ocean. That happened. A few unhomed folks along the way. If you want valet, help with your bags, friendly but not BFF staff. Reliable everything this is your spot. There was a big conference happening while I was there and I didn’t feel any impact. All conference goers seemed happy and healthy. If you want unique, cozy, work a little harder to prove your travel chops, look at other options."
