Frequently asked questions
Why book one of the biggest hotels in Monterey for a business trip?
A larger hotel can keep your entire team under one roof, which simplifies logistics and makes it easier to coordinate schedules. Properties like Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay (379 rooms) and Monterey Marriott (341 rooms) offer the capacity to accommodate many travelers at once. Staying in the same place also means shorter commutes to meetings and more time for your group to work together.

For a block of rooms, booking at least several months in advance gives you better availability and room selection. Large hotels like Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay and Asilomar Conference Grounds fill up quickly during peak travel seasons and event dates. The earlier you book, the more options you will have for your team.
