I recently stayed at Monterrey Portorla, and my experience was a mixed bag. On the positive side, the amenities were quite lovely, and the property itself is visually appealing. The valet parking service was excellent, making it easy to come and go without hassle. However, my stay was significantly marred by some serious issues. First and foremost, my room had a considerable infestation of black ants. This was particularly inconvenient as they invaded my food and even made their way into the bathroom. I reported this to the front desk, but the problem lingered, detracting from my overall comfort. Additionally, I found the pricing to be quite steep compared to other hotels in the area. For what I paid, I expected a higher standard of cleanliness and service, but unfortunately, this was not the case. There was no breakfast included, which is typically a standard offering at many hotels, and I was frustrated to find that bottled water in the room was charged at $5—something that feels excessive given the overall experience. Overall, while Monterrey Portorla has some appealing features, the pest issue, high pricing, and lack of attention to cleanliness significantly impacted my stay. I hope they can address these problems for future guests.

The hotel is centrally located in Monterey, within walking distance of attractions like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, and Fisherman's Wharf. While the on-site restaurant provides convenient dining, the surrounding area boasts a diverse array of eateries. Additionally, the hotel is pet-friendly, making it an excellent choice for travelers with pets.

What's not to love? We had a lovely stay....easy parking, quick and efficient check in, the bellhops were extremely nice, friendly and helpful, dinner and breakfast at Jack's Restaurant on premises were excellent, great lounge with a huge, beautiful recessed in-wall fireplace with great choices of beverages. We loved our stay! Walking distance to the large farmers market on Tuesdays, near great eating and drinking places. We'll definitely be back!!! Thank you to the entire staff for making our stay memorable!

The rooms were pristine, beautifully furnished, clean. However, the hotel is awkwardly spread, and felt like a maze (long hallway as we were offered a quiet room all the way to the end of the building). Lobby is beautiful and inviting.

The Hotel itself was clean etc. The management was terrible. Dealing with an issue from bar/service and they tried to charge our group twice for items already paid for. Manager was extremely rude and very condescending while we were providing proof of purchase and still continued to try and charge us. Ultimately had it removed from our bill but it ruined the entire experience. If you stay here be sure to close out your bill immediately and KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS after checking the itemized amount to be sure it's accurate. SPA amenities were very nice and I would recommend them.
