Verified Reviews of Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:"Disappointed"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
Check in employee was not friendly, showing frustration and the tone was very unwelcoming. This was a surprise. Website mentioned the outdoor is open. The fire place was off outside seating areas and dirty and messy. Will be nice if one of the bar or restaurant is available. Overall disappointing. Room is nice.

"Mostly Great."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We were there as part of a big group. Wonderful property. Gorgeous landscaping. two comments: We were in 364 and 350. VERY far/inconvenient to get to the only ice maker on that floor. Also, why are sinks so high? Could barely reach. Weirdly high. Thanks for memorable time!
