The Portofino was a delightful place to stay while visiting friends. The restaurant food was very tasty and the atmosphere throughout the restaurant and hotel was charming. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were immaculate and roomy. Our view of the marina was also very restful and relaxing. Thumbs up! I would stay again in a heart beat.

Beautiful room with great view of the marina. However, next time I will make sure I get a room on the Ocean side. New travertine in the bathrooms, nice big screen TV. Within walking distance to Kincaids. Nice feature was the free use of bicycles to ride up and down the beach. The only complaint is no continental breakfast (but... More

We stayed here 1 night. We loved watching the seals & sea lions play from our balcony. Saw Garibaldis swimming in the water below us. The rooms aren't large, but you are literally right next to the ocean. There is no beach. A sea wall blocks some of the view on the 1st floor. Upper floors are more expensive because... More

Had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, but it was a very pleasant surprise. Great staff, nice room, really liked the property. Service at the restaurant was a little slow for lunch on sat, but breakfast on sun was great. Will definitely go back.

In short, best hotel ever! My boyfriend and I spent a night here together. He booked a Deluxe Room with Oceanside view. When we arrived at the hotel, the elevator broke down, so the staff upgraded us to the Ocean suite (I was actually embarrassed by their generosity, but I was super grateful). The nautical-themed room was magnificent! It looked... More

Stayed for a romantic weekend, but reading the other reviews I think we definitely got the wrong room. We were above the gym and could hear someone at 6:00am pounding on the treadmill. Wasted space in the bathroom that could have better utilized. The room was in the corner near a stairwell and near housekeeping station and we heard constant... More

Came here after a hard week at a tradeshow in Vegas, looking for peace and tranquility. This hotel is wonderful venue for a relaxing wind down. I thoroughly recommend this hotel. Pay for an ocean view premium room so you can sit out on your patio or balcony and watch the seals play in the harbour.
