Monterey hotel includes every ingredient for a great coastal getaway
From a sun-soaked lobby with live trees reaching toward atrium skylights, to luxurious, soul-satisfying spa treatments, the Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay offers a complete experience that's distinctly Monterey. Stay in one of 379 recently-renovated rooms and suites where floor-to-ceiling windows provide awe-inspiring views. Dine in Monterey's first and only microbrewery -- the on-site Peter B's.

Great for a weekend getaway!!
This hotel has a perfect location and extremely close to so many things!! Brew Pub on site is a bonus! Hotel is right on the wharf, also a beautiful 20 min walk to Cannery Row, and extemely close to downtown Monterey. You really can't beat the location. The only draw back we had was getting a room that is right on the plaza. You can hear everything that is happening in the plaza.....especially late at night. Other than that....it was fantastic!

Great Relaxing time
We had a great time. Lots to do, in a convenient part of town. They stored my bike & my triathlon gear. It's hard to find places that accommodate well behaved big dogs. I don't like that we had to pay for parking, but will totally be back.

Birthday party
Everything was excellent. However, the bar next door had loud music from 9-12 PM, annoying but not a visit stopper.

Great Location
Other than our check in experience our hotel stay was very pleasant. Our room wasn't ready yet and instead of offering to store our bags or suggesting activities for the next hour until the room was ready she seemed aloof. The rooms are really spread out and the hotel is a bit difficult to navigate. The location is very central, the rooms were very nice and comfortable. The spa which I have been to numerous times is always terrific, great facials. Dissapointed that my stay wasn't more impressive like some of the local competition (intercontinental and monterey plaza.)

Comfortable Place in Monterey
The bed mattress was the most comfortable that I have slept on. This was one of the reasons for returning to the Portola. Service was very good. Only complaint I have is the price value of the movies offered, I paid $17.99 to watch an average box office movie (the "Traveler") and the selection was very very limited. The pool was not heated and the water temperature was cold. Nice English pub a block away called the Crown and Anchor. Decent selection of ales on tap and good fish and chips.

Sightseeing tip:
Short walk from hotel
The walking path along the bay is less than 200 yards from the hotel and you walk for miles... It is also by the Wharf and 1.3 miles from the Aquarium.

We travelled with a 15 month old
We travelled with a 15 month old baby so the quality of the hotel was very important. Service was exceptional and room was lovely. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Portola hotel
The hotel is pretty nice but they nickel and dime you for everything. The internet is not free and neither is the parking. The rooms are pretty comfy though. Good job on that part. We went during 4th of July week which is not a good idea. I'd call this hotel a definite tourist money pit.

Money-saving tip:
Short drive from hotel
Don't dine in. Drive up lighthouse road or google the internet you have to pay extra for and look for some good places to eat. The hotel charges double what other restaurants charge.
