    Nice place to stay while in El Portal. Fine double room with older-looking carpet, spa bathtub, as example. Very nice staff in the whole hotel. Remote location, fabulous base for discovering El Portal. Great swimming area.

    clean room
    nice beds
    large bathroom
    outdated feel
    finicky outlets

    We stayed in a Queen Room with Two Queen Beds, and it was decent. The room was spacious and clean, but it had a bit of an outdated feel. One plus was that it had nice, comfy beds. The bathroom was large too. The outlets were a bit finicky, and it felt a little dark inside. They charge for stuff like wifi and breakfast which was annoying. Fine for a place near Yosemite but not super fancy.

    All in all it's great hotel, we had a nice stay here. The staff was helpful and welcoming all the time. The check in was easy, the room was large and brand-new with a table and chairs and comfortable bed and older-looking carpet.

    great access to trails and the beautiful yosemite valley

    I loved how this spot was only about 3 km from the fine Hite Cove Trail, nice for easy access to nature, and the clean and renovated rooms were perfect for winding down after long walks around the beautiful Yosemite Valley.

    jetted tub
    lobby shop

    For nature lovers seeking adventure

    The room had a nice jetted tub that was perfect after hiking all day. The shop in the lobby was stocked with goodies at decent prices, which really helped us out.

    It wasn't economical for what you got, but we made do.
