"Always an amazing stay at Portola. Staff is great, location is perfect, rooms are always clean and nice. Even the elevators system they have is fast and convenient. We'll keep coming back."

"It is a very old place built in the early 60s the walls are paper thin the showers are tiny the shower head is 7 ft High nobody can reach it you can barely fit in the shower to take a shower the continental breakfast is a joke the beds are very uncomfortable the pillows are basically flat as a pancake it needs a major overhaul"

"Rooms are very clean, no circulation so leave windows open. Fireplace was for ambiance only. Heat control was great! Water pressure in shower was AMAZING. Breakfast was sub par but good enough to sample to get you by if you are not boujee. Coffee on Thursday was amazing. Friday is was weak. I would definitely stay here again, rooms are good size"

"I will absolutely return to Hotel Carmel which oozes hospitality from the moment you arrive, in its guest rooms (opt for a fireplace!) the healthy breakfast each morning and the quick walk to shopping and restaurant- its role in my impression of Carmel-by-the-Sea was co siderable"

"Breakfast was delicious and fresh. "

"Clean room, professional and accomodating staff. Central location. "

"small but comfortable room and bed. wine theme was cute. reasonable price for an expensive area. it was clean and quiet. parking was a bit tricky but it worked. we arrived late and only stayed one night so didn't really get to see or use any of their amenities, but the room served its purpose and we would stay here if we're ever in the area again. (a complimentary bottle of cheap local wine would have been a nice touch)"

"Very cute place with a perfect location and parking! The heated pool is an added bonus!"

"What a gorgeous hotel for couples! Romantic setting, great ocean views for many rooms like ours with a large private balcony. We chose a King Bed, Ocean View room. There is a wonderful choice of breakfast items delivered to your doorstep at your specified time in the morning. This hotel has beautiful grounds with fountains, waterfalls fire pit and tropical plants. Our room had a gas fireplace which we used, just because. The decor and vibe were Asian inspired with a lovely Japanese table top, bamboo fountain in our room giving a lovely trickling water sound. Parking was free and there is a lot of vacant street parking too. Like most places in Carmel, there is heating, but no A/C which we actually missed as we were there during a heat spell. It did cool down at night and was not too bad, but it would have been nice to have the A/C in late afternoon. That is my only complaint"
