Top El Portal Hotel Reviews

Cedar Lodge

Cedar Lodge

4/10 Poor
"The room was clean but the lodge/hotel is old. There is no central cooling just a window Air Conditioner which took a long time before the room starts to cool down. The Air conditioner makes so much noise that makes it hard to sleep. The Power went out on 5/11/2026 Monday night at around 11:00pm, the phone is also dead and there is no cell service. If I have any health emergencies, I would not be able to get help easily. Fortunately, the power came back after an hour. There's a mini fridge but no microwave in the room. There's no eating place around except their own restaurant. Not very impressed with this place."
