"I do not like it"

"Everything was amazing, I booked this stay for my parents as a nice getaway. They loved everything, the views, the service, the hotel food, and they loved the spa. I look forward to booking this stay in the future for me and my husband. "

"Everything about my stay at the Casa munras garden hotel & spa was exceptional."

"The location is just a short stroll from the iconic clam chowder at Old Fisherman’s Grotto & surrounded by many great dining options. The cinnamon toast at Jack’s Monterey was delish. There’s also a Carmel bakery downstairs, which was a convenient treat to have just steps away. The hotel lobby itself set the tone right away. It felt laid-back yet inviting, exactly the kind of atmosphere we look for when we’re on vacation. We were also able to check in early, which made our arrival smooth. Such a great bonus! They even provided scavenger hunt activities for our kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. This is truly a family-friendly hotel that makes traveling with kids feel easy & enjoyable. I’m very particular about bathrooms, beds, & overall cleanliness, especially since I have an immunocompromised child, so this is something I don’t take lightly. Portola did not disappoint. Both the bathroom & bedroom were spotless & even better than expected in person. The bed & pillows were incredibly comfortable. The A/C worked great, & having a ceiling fan was a nice bonus touch. The photos online truly don’t do this place justice. It’s even more beautiful in person. The heated pool was a hit, & the towels felt clean and luxurious. The staff were nice! There was a tiny red spider spotted on my child’s bed, but thankfully my eldest caught it right away. Aside from that small moment, everything about our stay was superb and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!"

"Loved everything about the place. Its location, the room itself, the staff, the breakfast, EVERYTHING! I will be back."

"Very nice place…. Would highly recommend it"

"breakfast was good. Parking lot is ok because they should have key for garage door. room was clean but we had few small flies. "

"Very close to everything but the parking situation felt a bit unsafe. Housekeeping ignoorded out do not sitrub signas and tried to enter at 8 am when we were still sleeping which was a bit scary. We had problems with our tv remote not working and then staff said it was fixed but when we returned it was still not working properly. Along with that the blinds in the room were missing some bolts so we didnt want to touch them in fear of it falling off. OPther than that it was clean and easy to check in and out. "

"It's very kitsch and they don't have air conditioning "
