Top Watsonville Hotel Reviews

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good
"It continues to amaze me that a not-inexpensive property will still rig the room with (subtly labeled) $5 bottles of water. Gotcha! I get it that they have taken the mini-bars away, but how hard is it to provide a lousy bottle of water? Worse, if you use the glass they provide you, how clean is it, really? I think this property is in the process orf renovation, in that one room we stayed in was modern, and the other not so much. The property over all was high average, not a spectacular value, but a perfect downtown location. And the people were nice, the best part of any hotel ."
