Wished I had spent more time here! The place is absolutely beautiful. Restaurant inside was delicious and I loved the little bakery inside the hotel too! I was able to check in early, and valet parking staff were very quick and efficient. Fitness center was very nice and clean. I also loved that it was super close to alot of restaurants. Will definitely be coming back and even brining my dog since they’re very dog friendly so that’s a plus!

Nice place overall. Only hitch was called for our bags to be picked up when checking out. Waited 45 minutes and ended up carrying our own bags out. 2 trips from about as far away from the front desk as possible in that building.

We have stayed at Portola Hotel several times over the years. You can see how the property condition is slowly getting worse. This time our bathroom sink faucet wasn’t working so we had no hot water flow and they had to fix it while we were there. Day two of our stay we had an ants invasion (we had a room with a patio) but did ask to be moved because we didn’t have time to deal with that. Otherwise, this hotel is in a great location with the cutest lobby and friendly and helpful staff.

Our stay at the Portola Hotel was excellent. We had a great time and the service culture is very good since we received great service from every employee from the time we got there till the time we left. The location is also excellent if you want to be able to walk to the wharf and even Cannery Row. There is a restaurant that's very good called Peter B's, but the restaurant in the hotel is great as well, especially for breakfast. I would highly recommend this hotel.

The property was great, very clean. It was crowded for NYE but the elevator systems worked great, didn’t have to wait too long at all if ever. Parking was easy, a bit far, as the property is so huge. Overall great and would recommend. Only downside is no room service for food. Portola Hotel and Spa was very enjoyable.
