Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay
Location was great! Next to the wharf. Service is slow. Front desk staff was hit or miss. I requested a crib ahead of time and confirmed with front desk but it was not in the room even after they said it would be in there already when I checked in. When we got to our room, we waited almost an hour ...

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa
Fantastic opportunity to be right on the bay. Beautiful views. Spacious room. Small balcony but very special opportunity to have comfort and feel very close to nature. I’ve been many times and continue to go.
