"Staff was friendly. When the toilet was backed up someone came to fix within 20 minutes. It's an older quaint townlike feel and had a fireplace in in."

"I’m so glad I chose the Portola Hotel for my stay in Monterey. After going back and forth between several hotel options, this one ended up being the perfect choice—and I’ll definitely be staying here every time I come back! The location is incredibly convenient—right in the heart of Monterey, walking distance to everything I wanted to explore. Parking was a breeze, and I used the valet service throughout my stay. It was quick, prompt, and made things so much easier. The hotel itself is extremely clean and well-maintained. My room was spotless, quiet, and the bed was super comfortable—I slept so well each night. Housekeeping did a fantastic job every day, keeping everything fresh and tidy without ever being intrusive. Overall, the Portola Hotel provided a relaxing, hassle-free experience in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Monterey! "

"I think the property is at a convenient location close to the freeway, there is good customer service, room service is available on demand, and there is convenient parking. I love the no smoking, no pets policy, which kept rooms free of disturbing odors. The neighborhood feels safe and quiet; no junky people lodging on the property. Not the newest amenities but decently maintained; fair for the price, the pool is cool, there is some noise from aircraft landing but not crazy. Kids love it, will visit again"
