Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 705 reviews
A 2-star motel in El Portal near Yosemite National Park. Guests frequently praise the 'clean and quiet rooms' in reviews.
Reviews across sites repeat that 'staff are friendly' and 'rooms are spacious and cozy'. It's a 15-minute drive to the park, and access to the pool and gym at the nearby Yosemite Lodge is often mentioned.
However, several complaints note check-in is not on-site but 2-3 miles away at another lodge. Decor feels outdated, and some floors are sticky. Yosemite Valley is over 20km away, requiring extra travel.
Suits travelers heading to Yosemite for nature. Families and nature lovers show high satisfaction in reviews.
