Romantic Hotels in Central Coast California, California

"Every staff seemed to be really hardworking, especially the breakfast crew. Very often hotels have just one person handling everything but not this one. They kept keen eyes on what needed refills and were really quick about it. This place also had real plates, utensils, mugs and cups-not the usual flimsy paper plates and plastic forks. That means a lot more cleaning for staff, but much better feeling for guests (at least, me and my family). Well exceeded my expectations!"

"The view from our balcony "

"Staff was friendly. When the toilet was backed up someone came to fix within 20 minutes. It's an older quaint townlike feel and had a fireplace in in."

"This is my go to location if I want To come to Carmel for a reasonable price and a reasonable location with nice clean rooms. "

"I’m so glad I chose the Portola Hotel for my stay in Monterey. After going back and forth between several hotel options, this one ended up being the perfect choice—and I’ll definitely be staying here every time I come back! The location is incredibly convenient—right in the heart of Monterey, walking distance to everything I wanted to explore. Parking was a breeze, and I used the valet service throughout my stay. It was quick, prompt, and made things so much easier. The hotel itself is extremely clean and well-maintained. My room was spotless, quiet, and the bed was super comfortable—I slept so well each night. Housekeeping did a fantastic job every day, keeping everything fresh and tidy without ever being intrusive. Overall, the Portola Hotel provided a relaxing, hassle-free experience in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Monterey! "
