"Nice if you are looking to stay downtown. Parking was a pain and most parking decks you had to pay. There was only two places to park and unload your luggage.

"Pool was drained, assume under repair. it's been fine in past visits. I know 11a checkout seems to be the norm these days, wish it was noon tho. The drain in the bathroom smelled a little moldy. Probably a good idea to flush it from time to time. Other than that, great and we will stay again."

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Travelocity Verified Review
"This is our second time staying at this hotel. It was very expensive, but love the convenience of being within walking distance to shopping, food, fisherman’s wharf, and other activities. I just parked the car at hotel parking garage and never had to jump into it again. Again it’s pricey, but if your budget allows, I recommend it."
