"I do not like it"

"Everything was amazing, I booked this stay for my parents as a nice getaway. They loved everything, the views, the service, the hotel food, and they loved the spa. I look forward to booking this stay in the future for me and my husband. "

"The location is just a short stroll from the iconic clam chowder at Old Fisherman’s Grotto & surrounded by many great dining options. The cinnamon toast at Jack’s Monterey was delish. There’s also a Carmel bakery downstairs, which was a convenient treat to have just steps away. The hotel lobby itself set the tone right away. It felt laid-back yet inviting, exactly the kind of atmosphere we look for when we’re on vacation. We were also able to check in early, which made our arrival smooth. Such a great bonus! They even provided scavenger hunt activities for our kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. This is truly a family-friendly hotel that makes traveling with kids feel easy & enjoyable. I’m very particular about bathrooms, beds, & overall cleanliness, especially since I have an immunocompromised child, so this is something I don’t take lightly. Portola did not disappoint. Both the bathroom & bedroom were spotless & even better than expected in person. The bed & pillows were incredibly comfortable. The A/C worked great, & having a ceiling fan was a nice bonus touch. The photos online truly don’t do this place justice. It’s even more beautiful in person. The heated pool was a hit, & the towels felt clean and luxurious. The staff were nice! There was a tiny red spider spotted on my child’s bed, but thankfully my eldest caught it right away. Aside from that small moment, everything about our stay was superb and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!"

"Very nice place…. Would highly recommend it"

"Excellent location, just a 3 minute walk from the path between the Aquarium and Lover's Point. The house was comfortable and provided 4 beds, so no one had to share. Tub showers were a little tricky to get in and out of. But overall, we had a incredible stay. 👍"

"This is a wonderful place to stay. The staff is welcoming, helpful and courteous. The room was clean and comfortable. The whole building is a landmark with fun treats through the day- and a breakfast that is far superior to chain hotel breakfasts."

"Sparkling clean and well appointed, but marred "

"I love the cozy charming feel of this Historic Landmark Hotel. Staff was friendly and kind. I felt comfortable and secure as a Solo Traveler. Parking is limited on the site, but the neighborhood streets around the hotel off her parking. You can unload in front of the hotel, and then go find a place to park. The breakfast of a yogurt parfait made to order and various pastries was very good. It is close to shopping and dining, and a walk to the beach is just several blocks away. "

"This hotel is beautiful, but lacking experienced staff and amenities. The front staff is unfriendly. The restaurant had no"
