Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay
Typically love staying here. Our room was directly above a karaoke bar and we got very little sleep.

The Monterey Hotel
There is no on site parking. I had to go to a public parking lot before 9 AM every day to pay for the day's parking. It was not expensive, $8, but I had to be up early to get to get it done.
