Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay
Great hotel. Had adjoining rooms. We were on 3rd floor so didn’t have a good view but it wasn’t a problem as we were out most of the day. Very convenient to fisherman’s wharf. And a 10 min drive to aquarium. There’s a great playground, Dennis the Menace, about 5 mins drive away. Opens at 10am. Delicious ...

The Monterey Hotel
Parkingis a challenge. Onsite valet only at the back of the buildibg for $39 a day. Public lots are nearby. Rooms are charming but ours was very warm even though it was cold outsude. No A/C in our room.
