Loved the place. Everything new, with great internet access and a cozy place. The place was super convenient for us as we did not make any reservation on the hot season and could stay in the Park during all our stay without any line or inconvenience.

The location was at a great spot in the park, also the home was very welcoming and was super clean with all the utensils you will need to stay comfortably. Also the bonus room down stairs with extra bathroom and hockey table was the icing on the cake.

What Guests Said About El Portal:

The pools are great! The restaurant is AWFUL!

The pools are great! The restaurant is AWFUL! I'd rather eat my shoe than eat at that restaurant! The bar/grill are ok, certainly better than the restaurant, but that is speaking relatively... The store is very nice, offering a good variety of snacks and drinks. The location is very good, just a few miles away from the Yosemite entrance. The staff were friendly and responsive. The rooms were clean, and, thankfully, the AC worked well (it was 109 degrees when we were there!). The bathroom lights turned on automatically whenever someone entered the room, which we didn't like, and would have liked a way to turn that feature off.

We didn't travel to visit El Portal which is pretty sparse.

We didn't travel to visit El Portal which is pretty sparse. Its proximity to Yosemite is the reason we visit. There is a service station which is strategically located and also a fairly good coffee shop (dog friendly).

The place had Tesla fast charging stations.

The place had Tesla fast charging stations. The property was old but clean. The carpet could use a deep clean. The room had a balcony with a table and some chairs great for drinking with friends or just hang out and relax while looking out the river. The room was really big and spacious with a ref, stove top, coffee maker and some cooking and serving utensils. Actually the property was decent but with no cellular coverage (Tmobile), wifi should have been readily available. Here you have to pay through a 3rd party. Sad! So it’s not great for virtual meetings and stuff.

The location and staff were excellent!!

The location and staff were excellent!! The room was clean, the amenities were great as well, the only problem was our TV. Maintenance couldn’t fix it so they gave us the internet for the TV the first night to remedy the situation which was amazing but not the second night which put a damper on things with no Tv to relax the second night.

The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite.

The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite. The room was good. The Pizza restaurant was good. We didn't like having to book room service (towels etc and coffee for room) on a daily basis. In our opinion is a throwback to Covid pandemic days, as a management policy to save money not support the customer.

Incredible location just 2 miles from the park. Excellent room with a balcony opening right onto the river. Great pool and gym facilities. Only downside was the coffee there was awful so take your own, plus the on site restaurant - food was actually pretty good standard American fare but service was slow and so food cold and when we provided feedback to one of the servers they didn’t seem interested. That aside, the actually hotel was amazing all rounder for price and location at Yosemite!
