Family friendly Hotels in El Portal, California

"Good place to stay"

"We enjoyed our stay here! So close to Yosemite and other fun activities around, the lodge even offered some of their own! Delicious restaurant on site, s’mores every night, and a hot tub to soak in following a long day of hiking was perfect for our trip!"

"Excellent location. Wonderful setting. Good restaurant. Nice staff. Only issue was the bunk beds were not comfortable. Hurt my son's backs"

"Convenient to the highway for easy access to Yosemite. Free hot breakfast with several options. Easy check in and check out. Great place for a one or two night stay near Yosemite."

"Very clean rooms, comfortable beds. Unfortunately the spa was not working which would have been nice to use. The diner next door was great, excellent staff, very good food & portions for the price."

"I always stay here when preparing for the half dome hike. It's close enough to yosemite valley and is a clean spot. I'll be back again"

"Upon arrival the host was was very unwelcoming stating, "I'm eating dinner, what do you want?" There was a bent nail sticking up from the floor on the threshold between the kitchen & bedroom, that was noticed while walking barefoot. There was no remote control for the TV mounted on the wall. When returning to the office to inquire, the answer was "there should be one, I'll send someone"... nobody came. There was blue tape on the back door where the door itself did not meet the door moulding. The cabin itself could be very charming, with some TLC. It looks nice from the outside and the yard is nice."

"Staff was nice and always helpful. We needed a cot and then a baby bed (pack n play) and they were pretty quick about it. Pool was clean. Kitchenette had pots, pans, plates, silverware, glass which I didn't expect but was good to have. Mini fridge was spacious (but we did have a cooler in our truck as back up). Didn't know coffee was free if I brought my own cup, my husband just overheard someone saying that the last day. I spent like $15 purchasing a coffee for 3 or 4 morning. I was there 5 night. The pizza place was pretty good. Didn't get a chance to try the other restaurant since it's always full and long wait. There's a playground and a pool which my kids enjoyed. Room is cleaned upon request so I just requested it to be cleaned everyday for the 5 days I was staying there and didn't have to call everyday to have it cleaned the next day, that was nice. Most Yosemite main view points were 30 min drive from the hotel. Overall I had a great experience."
