Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent
"Portola Hotel is in a great location near downtown Monterey, adjacent to restaurants and shopping, while only a mile away from the very touristy Cannery Row. Our 2-queens room was fairly spacious and well decorated in a modern style. Both the lobby restaurant Jack's (more expensive but not outrageous) and Peter B's Brewery had surprisingly good food. We enjoyed both happy hour and $5 Taco Tuesday at Peter B's Brewery. The pool area is a little on the small side and is across the plaza from the hotel, which is a bit odd. Self-parking was convenient. All the staff were friendly and helpful."
