Book a Top El Portal Motel

"Clean, quiet hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Was able to check in early. Great base for visiting Yosemite."

"The Tenaya Lodge is very, very good. The staff - particularly at the front desk and the day time concierge as well as the Spa staff and restaurant servers - are excellent! Rooms are very spacious, nice ambiance, and the common areas have a lovely feel to them. Parking on site is free and very easy - also you can do valet for $15/day. Our drive to the South entrance of Yosemite was only 10 minutes. (Tenaya is about 1.5 hours from Fresno airport, easy drive.) The drive from South entrance into Yosemite Village in early May was just over an hour. If you are ok with that drive, the Tenaya is a fabulous choice for lodging. Excellent deep tissue massage at the on-site Spa. Highly, highly recommend the Tenaya! We had a really lovely stay … and the nightly s’mores were a great touch. Food and atmosphere at on-site restaurant Jackalopes were outstanding as was the service."

"Curry Village is an awesome place to stay while at Yosemite. The rooms tents are well maintained and the views are spectacular. We parked the car and traveled for free using the parks free shuttles which are more like city buses. The village has decent foods and even a bar for those who want to sit and enjoy the amazing views. The staff were wonderful and helpful people. The little grocery store in Curry had the best coffee in the morning. The only thing I think they need to improve on are the bathroom and shower rooms. They may need to be cleaned and stocked more often, but with staffing shortages in our National Parks Im sure it can be a challenge. I cant wait to come back."

"So glad we found Evergreen Lodge. The staff was both helpful and friendly, the cabin was clean and well stocked. The restaurant service was great and the food excellent. There were games available to play like chess & checkers. We ran into a bit of a problem with lost car keys and the staff was very helpful and the keys were found. I can’t wait to return to the lodge and Yosemite. "

"Breakfast was great."

"I absolutely love this resort and would highly recommend it!! The staff is super friendly and helpful. One staff member ran to open a door for me when I was bringing in my luggage. It was raining one day, so we spent the day at the spa. What an amazing experience. I never thought I would be glad it rained on a vacation day. Also, the restaurant is fantastic. My husband was talking about his meal days later. We look forward to coming back again someday."

"room was okay but not super clean. Also the restaurant was closed which was inconvenient for us"

"Yes"

"There was some areas under construction and off limits but otherwise the lodge offered great amenities. It was super convenient to have restaurants and a small grocery selection on site. The location could not have been better being just outside the park entrance. This is definitely the lesser used entrance and I never had a wait to get in to the park. "
