Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic stay for our family! The location could not be beat, the hotel was absolutely beautiful, and we were very comfortable. Parking was also extremely easy and we were happy to be walking distance from several eateries, both local spots & recognizable chains. If we are ever lucky enough to come back to the area, we would happily stay here again."
