Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay
"I wouldn't come back to this hotel. It's very loud in the hallways with kids and the worse thing is the seagulls screaming all night. It's unbearable. I pre-paid months in advance for 7 night with my mom. We had a balcony room. It was so loud and I was woken up often. NEVER again."
