Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good
"The lobby is beautiful, inviting, and exceptionally well maintained. The outdoor lounge area with the fireplace was also a highlight and a great place to relax and unwind. The location is the hotel’s strongest feature. It’s perfect for exploring Old Monterey, with Fisherman’s Wharf just steps away and Cannery Row within walking distance. There are also many nearby restaurants, cafés, and bakeries, making it easy to enjoy coffee, pastries, or a meal without needing to drive. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. However, the front desk staff did not provide a warm or welcoming experience during either check-in or check-out. Since these moments shape a guest’s first and last impression, a friendlier and more engaging approach would significantly improve the overall experience. The shower had low water pressure, and the temperature was difficult to regulate, which made for a less comfortable experience. The $30 parking fee (including taxes) feels quite expensive, especially for multi-night stays. It would also be helpful to provide clearer parking instructions before arrival, as the structure is not very intuitive. At check-in, guests should be informed about what to do if the garage is full and how to return the parking key at check-out. Unfortunately, this information was not provided. I had to step out of the car to ask for assistance while my husband waited inside, but clearer communication would have made both arrival and departure much smoother."

Bay Breeze Inn

8/10 Good
"The room was much better than we expected. It was relatively clean and large. The two queen beds were great. However our stay was a bit noisy due to the presence of birds outside of our unit all night. The shampoo bottle was empty for our showers. There were no one in the office when we checked out. Parking was very convenient."

"Room was exactly like the photos. Only complaint was that we were put in the room directly next to the laundry room and the walls are thin so we could constantly hear noise. AC worked very well once and the water heated up nicely. Overall, nice stay."

"Really nice. Very helpful staff. Comfortable bed. Loved that the cafe was there. A little slow at times but friendly and the food was good. Our shower needed some work as the shower head kept falling over. Other than that we liked staying here."
