El Portal hotel rooms a the Independent

"Ready for the holiday "

"No frills hotel with great customer service. My only concern is that they don’t use bottom sheets on the beds, only top sheets. So if you move around you’re exposed to the bare mattress, which raises sanitary concerns for me. However, the customer service far surpasses the Ahwanee, which is supposed to be a four star hotel. "

"Not very clean, we found a sock under the nightstand. The sheet even has blood stain "

"Will return again "

"amazing service"

"Loved the convience of how close Yosemite is & love Groveland. The restaurant Lucky Buck next door was fantastic! Great food & service! We stayed the week of Christmas and enjoyed everyday! Thank you!"

"Amazing hotel - worth every penny - get a mountain view room! We had a perfect view of Yosemite Falls."

"A great place to stay for a few days while visiting Yosemite. We stayed for just one night and really enjoyed it. The area is picturesque nestled just outside the national park. There are a few food and drink options on site but I would suggest visiting a whole foods or supermarket nearby to get something for dinner. Breakfast options are available from the lobby however."
