Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Hotel Pacific

The Stevenson Monterey
"The pictures are deceiving. The room was very run down and old. Stains on the upholstered chair and the shower was questionable. Very limited parking and if you don't get a spot on the property you have to park around the corner."

"Great place and location"

Monterey Bay Lodge
"The towels were old and dirty. It wasn’t pleasant to use them. The wall was thin. Everything else was okay."
