Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent
"The Portola Hotel and Spa Monterey Bay is a beautiful hotel. And they accomodated our pet with ease, offering a bed, bowls, and cookie upon arrival. Their pet fee was by far the best in the area. Extremely clean rooms with slider doors to a balcony to let the fresh sea air in. They have an elegant bar with a roaring fire which was a welcomed relaxiation spot after a long day. 10/10 recommend."

"This is my go to spot when staying in Monterey. Good price. Although, be aware that there is a bit of traffic noise, occasionally planes & thin walls in the room. But location is convenient, in the middle of everything which makes it nice to get to pg, marina, seaside, etc… My only complaint was my rooms showerhead the pressure was weak and barely any water would come out. But other than that I’ve never had an issue staying at el castell. Would recommend to others looking for a nice convenient affordable option. :)"

InterContinental the Clement Monterey by IHG

8/10 Good
"The layout of our room could use improvement. I had to turn on the light by the door to see the closet. There was a mirror there but no socket to insert my hair curler. I thought of when I traveled with another woman and need two mirrors. The hallway mirror wouldn't have been useful without a socket and a table to put my makeup bag on as my friend used the bathroom mirror--or my partner was using the toilet. In the bathroom there was no hook to put my damp towel onto as I used the mirror.The refrigerator was lodged in so tight that I bruised my hand opening it. The worst problem is that the TV remote didn't work until a staff member came to the room and found that it wasn't plugged into the back. That took about a half an hour before she came."
