The staff were pleasant and helpful. The location is great, near many restaurants and walkable. Our room was cute but the bathroom did have ants and the toilet got plugged up. Staff brought a plunger right away but plumbing seems older. Just a few little things that aren’t deal breakers. We did miss having a pool and spa to use, so we will likely stay at the Portola again in the future like we usually do.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bed, linens, and pillows were very comfortable. The location is very walkable to the wharf and if you are into longer jaunts down to cannery row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We logged 15,000 steps in one day! The building is not what is pictured in the photographs- the majority of rooms are in buildings around the original Merritt House. The vaulted ceilings and fireplace were awesome. However, the room smells of the chemicals from the prefab logs they give you. Be aware there is not an elevator so you will need to lug your bags up two short flights of stairs to get to the second story.

QUIET CLEAN LITTLE HOTEL
This little hotel is a close walking distance to the wharf and various businesses, including a great crepe restaurant less than 2 blocks way. The service was excellent and staff was very friendly. Super clean, with a quaint little breakfast room, filled with pastries and various easy food items.... If you want old style, this is the place.. Small, cozy, and even had a nice fireplace.

This historic landmark hotel is very charming! We stayed on the second floor in 2 rooms, there were cathedral ceilings and working fireplaces in the room with double French doors onto a balcony overlooking a beautiful small courtyard. The room was immaculate, the decor cute and brand new. Tiles, counters and fixtures all quality and brand new. Smelled great no mildews smell. The included breakfast was convenient, the parking was a bit tight for our minivan rental but again super convenient.

Beautiful Historic Hotel
The hotel was beautiful and in a great location. There was a fire place in the room and the hotel provided the fire log and matches. The breakfast left something to be desired, but it was included in the stay.
