lovely location in pacific grove... golf courses very nearby... lots of restaurants to choose...

we brought our bikes and cycled down the coast to 17-mile drive (which was closed due to the golf tourney

the pool and spa area is smaller than we're used to, but it was still fine.

tel states by order of county)

having to pay for wifi

the room service and bars were closed which limited us in our trip

also, surprise in the morning: breakfast bag

great breakfast with a view!

breakfast brought to the room is such a nice touch

room service

breakfast served in the room was a lovely touch

the breakfast was pretty good and room service from the restaurant was convenient and tasty

good location kids liked waffles for breakfast. large room

just nitpicking. but the breakfast portion didnt have any bacon… haha

early check in, friendly staff.

decent breakfast

the fireplace was a plus during winter! the kids loved the waffle machine during breakfast.

the view from hotel, restaurant, bar and patios was amazing

the bar needs to have benedictine for a singapore sling

sadly the spa was completely booked for that weekend - check way in advance.

ordered room service a few times, which was fast and delicious

the fact that there were no pool facilities for kids.

a nice partial view of the marina and could hear the seals from our room which was a hit for the kids

about a ten-minute walk from the busy part of cannery row and great stuff for the kids to do

the complimentary breakfast was delicious

at the ocean enjoying our morning coffee on are private balcony close to restaurants and a a spa on top of the roof is always the finish of the

we have an electric car and had some problems figuring out how to use the ev charger in the parking lot, but eventually it worked

beautiful grounds and pool area

the rooms are beautiful and spacious! beds are comfortable too! swimming pool and spa are nice

large room pool and hot tub

pool and spa is a nice bonus

the room was located right behind the pool

breakfast with a lot of variety

good condition, very clean, very good sized room, excellent breakfast, helpful staff.

huge bedroom with a fireplace ,full kitchen and dining area, an enclosed deck (meaning private with a high fence) with chairs and a

the continental breakfast was great

the breakfast was comparable to other hotels i have stayed at

room, staff, hot tub, breakfast were all delightful.

the staff was super friendly and the kids loved it here

the owner and the night manager, location, service (wine&cheese, hot tubs, laundry machine).

our kids loved the little popcorn maker and the fresh popcorn in the room

although both rooms were on the first floor you could hear the kids running in the room and jumping off the bed

nestled moments away from the ocean, lighthouse, and golf course is close by

we were able to have an early check in which worked out well for us to spend more time walking along the shore

loved the breakfast provided and the parking space

the breakfast was plain, typical continental.

great location as we were able to walk to the ocean and there is a golf course nearby

kids would have loved a pool.

no pool and one of the hot tubs was out of service.

stayed 3 nights but did't qualify for room service

the toilet paper is unpleasant and the wifi is spotty

wifi was sketchy, breakfast was very poor, and our initial room had literally no view, as our

breakfast was a little meagre

location and breakfast

breakfast was nothing special but there are so many options right around

good wifi and room

excellent complimentary breakfast

the best thing about portola hotel & spa is the location in my opinion

lovely outdoor pool for the good weather

called room service asked for glasses to be delivered to my room and no one ever came

early check in with our adjoining rooms.

wish there had been room service, but lots of eateries nearby.

trying to order room service, the operator was kind of rude

one bar of soap

great breakfast, the kids didn't get hungry all day

me a connecting room and you could hear everything from the other room - not good when you have kids trying to sleep

whole family liked the selection of the breakfast items, although limited because of co-vid, we were all pleased

didnt use the pool but looked very clean

room by the pool was nifty

the pool was closed

allowed us an early check in the desk staff gave us recommendations for food that was excellent

the pool was fun to use and the hotel was conveniently placed close to downtown monterey, fisherman’s

additional price for parking. swimming pool water was cold. would be nice to have a hot tub.

location is fabulous bar is quaint - great selection of tapas

gym opens at 9am and $20 fee per person to use the hot tub

i loved the fireplace in my room and the heated pool

the appetizers and drinks were delicious and we love that they had a kids menu

its was very nice. the staff was very nice. they allowed an hour late check out.

bakery close buy. golf about 10 minutes away.

breakfast good. location excellent lovely heated pool and jacuzi

daughters think they are mermaids so of course when we came from the beach it was straight to the pool

no laundry

we usually travel with our kids, but this was just a little valentine’s three day getaway for just the two of us, and this

that pool and spa was. closed do to covid

swimming pool--no privacy

loved the spa i will def stay there again

outlets to charge my phone more light in the rooms would be nice but the kids loved this part

the room service is for dinner

the bar is open until 9 pm

great staff, nice gym and pool

we could hear the people in the next room talking and especially the kids.

i resent having to pay for parking and premium wifi

pool - spa . clean place with very friendly staff

no microwave. the coffee maker needed cleaning. wifi was pathetic.

wifi was terrible no exhaust in the bathroom

location with easy parking

not aware that bar would not be open

the room service menus was terrible not even diff kinds of pizza or humus and veggies

beautiful property. definitely request a room on the golf course side for the best view.

there's also golfing, heated pools, spa and restaurants/bars

we had a balcony with a view of the golf course and it was beautiful

we are here for july 4th holiday and hotel had lot of activities planned for the kids

was right on the beach, loved the view, bonfires on the beach & the staff + the bar was amazing

pool, hot tub, beach front, great restaurant, a gym and even kits to make non fires and smoars

i didnt like being under a supply or laundry room

my husband was able to surf right out front and the kids and i could watch from our room

charged $25 for resort fee when there is no pool, hot tub, or fitness center because of construction…and even worse being charged $45 for parking

great breakfast, i booked because i saw it had a nice breakfast and it was true

clean room, nice breakfast, great staff and management!

a bit noisy in the room and a pity the laundry was always busy

like the location and the parking

no hot breakfast and drink vending machine.

coke vending machines were not working, pool dirty

breakfast, it was great. we loved the pancake machine! nice pool.

i wish the pool was open a bit later

pool was clean and under the sun most of the day so the water was even a little warm at night the

nice facilities in the hotel: media room, coffee and cakes provided all day long, small fitness room

st &

was perfect for my kids

clean facilities and the kids lived the pool. happy hour is always great!

cold pool. my kids didn t last more than 15 minutes in the freezing indoor pool.

also the gym is to be laughed at

great breakfast with many options for kids and adults

need towels in pool/spa area so guest doesn't have to use

from the room to the pool to breakfast was really nice

my kids loved everything about it and can't wait to come again

only could have been better with melon served at breakfast.

pool was under construction and i wish they would’ve said it was because my family was looking

updated facilities. very clean! allowed an early check in upon booking!

has safe parking right outside the rooms door and offers late check out if needed

we had a separate room from the kids

was hoping for a pool for my grand daughters.

we loved the food on site, the pool is heated so swimming in 59 degree weather wasn’t a problem

it was clean and close to the golf courses that we were going to play.

two of my adult sons and i were on a golf trip

is a great location to stay while playing local golf courses such as poppy hills, pacific grove, laguna seca, and others

we was there for a sports event and enjoyed the short drive to pebble beach and spyglass golf courses

it was available during a busy time for a golf tournament.

bed was too soft for me. room (manzini) was next to the kitchen and office.

spacious quiet king suite with kitchen.

clean nicely kept. beautiful garden. our room had a better kitchen then i do at my house.

great location, great views, open heated pool and dry sauna, free parking, clean and comfortable, friendly staff, fantastic rate, and easy

off street parking and swimming pool.

i actually prefer to have a spot to eat breakfast rather than carrying a tray to my room.

the breakfast each morning is perfect and simple - coffees to go, muffins/pastries, yoghurt

hofsas has old style charm in every way. it is central, great staff and fab pool and views.
