Book a hotel near Bernardus Winery, Carmel Valley

"I love the portola! Only place I stay and travel almost monthly down to Monterey. The rooms are always clean, spacious, the beds are very comfy. Partial bay view is a must. Balcony has two chairs nice to enjoy ur coffee on or listen to some wildlife (sea lions). Basically 4 restaurants attached to the hotel, Carmel bakery n coffee inside the hotel. The location is prime! Walk right and head down Alvarado st you got ur breweries and 10-15 restaurants. Go left and you’re on the Monterey pier , 7 restaurants, a bunch of clothes ans candy shops and my favorite whale watching. I do every time and it’s so close to portola. "

"Clean and comfortable "

"Nice place overall.. the on-property restaurant was amazing. Only big qualms I had were that it was across the street from the beach, not a true beachfront. Doesn’t seem like that big of a deal until you get there and have to essentially to hike down the property from your room to get to the bottom of the property, cross a road and then hike down more to get to the beach. Not a fun time and especially difficult with kids. Our pull-out bed had a big nasty yellow stain on it- that’s always gross. Other than that, it was a pretty good stay. "

"Great location"

"Property is dated and rooms though large had bare minimal amenities placed in them. "

"Amazing ocean view and lobby. Excellent, friendly and helpful staff, especially Diego. There are lots of stairs to get everywhere on property and it’s not super easy to lug your bags but it is worth it and they have a bellman if you can’t manage it yourself. Absolutely beautiful property! "
