Pet friendly Hotels in El Portal, California

"The room was clean. And was exactly what we expected based on the photos. The service was where I was most impressed. I forgot my apple watch in the room. I called while on the road from Yosemite to Sequoia NP and Christine took the time to personally check the room for my watch. Not once but twice when I called back to see if she checked some specific areas. She actually found my watch and is shipping it back to me! Thank you so much Christine! You sure made my day!❤️"

" June 2025 This was our second time staying here, and we still loved our stay as much as the first- maybe even more. We stayed at the lodge and enjoyed the coffee shop, smores, pool and even the game room. The onsite restaurant was quite good for dinner. Our king room was very spacious, comfortable, and clean. My only negative is the food/ drinks( non alcoholic) were quite pricey. The Pizza place that is onsite but not directly at the lodge was very expensive and our rigatoni literally came out in a microwaveable type plastic tin. I mean at least take the extra step and put it on a plate and add a splash of parmigiana cheese to make it look like some effort was made. However this was my only true negative and I would absolutely stay here again. Little FYI, although you are only 2 miles from the entrance, it is still another hour to the valley floor. Do not try to enter the park after 9:30-10 or the line backs up even past the lodge and it will take 2 hours to enter. "

"It’s an older motel but well kept for its age. Clerk was extremely friendly. Grounds were very well kept. Beds were comfortable. Lots of places to walk to to eat or get ice cream. Very cute town. Would stay again."

"The location was beautiful and close to Yosemite."

"Great place. Quiet room. Just beds are smaller than I thought. "

"We really enjoyed our stay. The check in was easy, we got there around 6:30 and our room assignment was on the board and key in the door, no staff to check us in. The bed was super comfortable and the room was clean. The shower was a little small and the door did need to an extra push/pull to close but these weren’t any bother to us. The AC worked great. We loved coffee at Sticks and heard it was the best in town. The town was cute, everyone was nice and we enjoyed the restaurants in town. Great stay for our trip to Yosemite!"
