4/10 Fair

Rooms above bars don't mix...
We checked in on a Friday night, and the hotel was extremely busy. The room we got was right above a bar and right by the elevators... was not a great night for sleep. Our room was not very well cleaned, stains and stickiness on the counters and toe clippings on the floor... I really expected more from a high-end hotel like the Portola. we asked to change rooms, but were told the hotel was sold out. Didn't get any better with a storm that came in and knocked out the power, internet and TV for most of the hotel. Tried to change rooms on Saturday, but the front desk systems were down due to the storm. Pretty much were stuck with the room till we checked out... the storm was not their fault, but a dirty room above a bar with karaoke, and drunk people crawling down the hallways at night was not cool! This hotel is in a great location in Monterey and I had high hopes for our stay, but future stays in Monterey will be at other establishments unfortunately.

The power went out and it was pretty inconvenient to have to take the stairs up and down with my daughter and a stroller. My only complaint is that there should be a generator to keep elevators going for accessibility.
