Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent
"Except for the incredibly slow service at breakfast the rest of the stay was pleasant. The car garage was quite a hike from the room and even though we packed light it was still annoying with several trips. No luggage carts that we saw to make it easier."
