Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Hotel Pacific
"This hotel was so adorable. I loved the rooms. Very big. Plenty of space for my family of 4 with 2 teenagers. The fireplace was perfect. The location was amazing. Walking distance to the pier and whale watching so we didn’t have to find parking. Lots of restaurants within walking distance as well. ..."
