This little hotel is so charming! The room is very vintage and rustic, with every piece of furniture carefully chosen, completely different from the vibe of chain hotels. The bed sheets are silky smooth and comfortable, and there’s even a fireplace in the room. Every evening, there’s a bonfire in the small courtyard where you can sit around with friends to roast marshmallows. This is definitely an unforgettable lodging experience.

El Portal was prettier than the pics and the check in process was made simple with friendly lady at the front desk kindly welcoming us and walking us to our room informing us of all the hotel had to offer. The historic hotel is in a prime location with easy parking and a close walk to restaurants and shops.

'luxury hotel' needs to be revisited
Very friendly staff and easy check-in. Quiet and private. But 'luxury hotel' needs to be revisited. The rooms and furnishings appear outdated. Linens and towels are faded. Cleaning services only appeared at check-out.

I loved the property - it felt like staying at a beautiful hacienda, much like the Ponderosa on Bonanza. The complementary snacks were over the top. Loved the courtyard and all the little touches that mean so much - like spending time at a friend’s. The staff was superlative, and so friendly and helpful. My husband dropped his wedding ring down the shower drain, and they called in their handyman to try and retrieve it. And he did! Love El Portal - thanks for a great visit!
