"Nice area to walk "

"We stayed in a non-heated tent. They provided two towels, a blanket, and plastic cups. There is no electrical outlet, only one light bulb above the bed. The room has a wooden floor, and outside the room, there is a bear locker for food. Don't expect many amenities; a restroom and shower area are available nearby. The check-in area is staffed 24/7, and the restroom is always clean. Parking is a bit far from the site, and the road can be muddy after rain or in winter due to snow or dew. You will need a flashlight to walk to the restroom outside. "

"at least have water in the room. snack bar is VERY LIMITED "

"Place was nice .. parking was difficult... "

"Staff are awesome! They fixed my bill issue promptly before checking out"

"Great hotel and the service was excellent. The tapas hour was definitely a highlight. "

"Even on the ground floor, the ocean view was beautiful. The room was clean, very comfortable bed and loved the shutters. It was quiet and plenty of outdoor seating. Although the pool was closed, the adult hot tub was very nice. There is very limited indoor seating for breakfast and with rain, it was difficult to find anywhere out of the rain to eat. We liked being able to fill our water containers with cold filtered water. The afternoon chocolate chip cookies were a great addition too! Breakfast selections were plentiful and coffee was always available and tasty! Conveniently located with a nice walk into Pismo Beach, restaurants close by and short scenic drives to lots of fun things to do. We highly recommend the sea crest and would definitely come back! "

"Every member of the staff was friendly and attentive. A notch above what you see most places. Breakfast wait staff was excellent as was breakfast. We'll be back and highly recommend The Portola for anyone headed to Monterey for either business or pleasure."
