Top El Portal Hotel Reviews

Tenaya at Yosemite

Tenaya at Yosemite

4/10 Poor
"It was misleading. The pictures and amenities they advertise were subpar at best. I won't be going back. They should really let people know that the rock climbing station will be down, and the breakfast is way overpriced. They get enough through the price of the room that you would think you can have a free breakfast. Also the bathrooms have no lock. There is no extra room outside the bathroom to change like most hotels have. Pretty much it was a let down and they play off the fact that your so deep in the woods and raise prices your forced to pay. The bar closes at 9pm. My wife and I decided to go have a drink and relax. It was 8:55pm and we didn't realize we showed up to last call. "
