"The cabin was very nice. Unfortunately there wasn’t much for me and my family kids to do. They mentioned in the website that there were fun activities such as a pool, the pool was not working, it was very hot and the pool would have made it more enjoyable . Also, they mentioned there was basketball courts they were very old and no balls for us to use . Also it said there was miniature golf we did not see any clubs to be used. The beautiful scenery was a plus. We didn’t see a petting zoo. We...

"Cozy upstairs apartment with ocean views all around. Close to the beach. The host was kind, and made sure we had a wonderful stay. The apartment was clean and well stocked. The queen bed was very comfortable. We have booked from this host twice, and will definitely be back to this property. We were very comfortable. The property is quiet, and you can hear the waves crashing on the beach all night. Very peaceful."

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good
"We typically stay on Cannery Row at the InterContinental so this was our first at the Portola. PERFECT location for my husband and I and a gorgeous beachy room. He walked to the pier for a fishing day, and I was able to safely walk with others on a pedestrian trail on the boardwalk each morning. Alvarado Street has so many fun shops and restaurants for nighttime. My only negative was one of the mornings I went downstairs to the restaurant by myself. I was seated, then ignored for 20 minutes. Waitstaff made eye contact, but never came to my table. I ended up going to Starbucks. Other than that ideal stay."

"The lobby carpet has some age, but it is a wonderful classic property. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was very well maintained and very spacious. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. Our only issue is the road noise and how loud the room is. If you crack open a window its unbelievable. With no A/C it is a tough choice .. cool temps and noise or closed windows and heat but quiet. Great location with wonderful restaurants close by. Parking was a minor inconvenience, but is not too bad."
