The Portofino Hotel claims to be a posh, elegant experience, however in truth, outside of a beautiful lobby, it is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at. The rooms are falling apart, as marked by chipping granite that got lodged in my heel, and a shower that leaked water into the wall behind. The "resort fee" is complete robbery, with a fitness center smaller than a bathroom and less equipped than most homes, wifi that couldnt be slower if you asked it to, and a "Business Center" that was actually a single computer monitor mounted to a wall in the lobby hallway—forcing you to take all your calls in the lobby itself with their terrible wifi. And on top of all this, they charge a premium for the rooms, and a few on top for the basic amenities offered better by most 3-star hotels in America. Finally, the location is fine, however a bit in a food desert, and there's no where near to park forcing you to abide their insane valet or self park rates. If you're looking for a nice place to stay while soaking up the CA atmosphere, do be bamboozled by the location or makeup on this garbage hotel. Look elsewhere for cheaper.
