Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good
"First of all, great location! Center of town between wharf and Alvarado street, we could walk pretty much everywhere. Plenty of shops and places to eat that were great. Upon arrival, Bell was very helpful. Walking in, the lobby had an off putting sewer smell that either went away or got accustomed to. Check in staff was not too friendly but did her job I guess. Stay: room and areas were keep well and felt very comfortable. There was a scheduled power outage that was not relayed until day of. Was not provided correct information that led to a less than comfortable night, however the property did make up for it. Parking was convenient. Overall, we had a very good stay at Portola. Staff could be a bit more friendly ."
