El Portal Motel

We stayed here this last weekend for visiting Death Valley. The layout of room 3 was great, looks very similar to the pictures online. The space is roomy for 2 adults plus several bags (and a medium dog crate) and was very efficient for what we needed. The bed and mattress were comfy so we had good sleep the 3 nights we stayed. The linen and towels felt very nice and clean. Direct TV was a nice option that we used each night after a long day of activities at the park and WiFi worked very fast. They have a couple tables and enough chairs we put to good use. The heater worked great for the space especially since it got pretty chilly at night and morning. It’s a convenient and (seemed) safe location especially if you want to walk to basic necessities and food close by and heading to Death Valley. The bathroom and bathtub shower were great and worked real well for us. Also they have a nice microwave, strong spacious mini fridge and freezer that was super helpful to us having food to store and consume. Most things I asked were answered promptly and the host was helpful. I only suggested they restock the toiletries before guests arrive, install a few hooks for clothes on the walls, and weatherize the front door to avoid losing heat in the winter and cool air in the summer. We recommend this place- we had a great time overall.

Did not have the opportunity to stay, but wanted to compliment them on their faith and patriotism evidenced by the artwork on the sode of the motel. Very cool.

This place is so chill. I stayed here 3/27 and 3/29/23, first night in room 9, a triple queen, and 2nd night room 6, standard double. Both were pretty standard rooms, nothing fancy, but the water was hot and the beds were clean. The motel's location and staff are really just fantastic though. Cat is the manager, Chihuahua is security, and the traffic at night is ZERO. Crazy quiet at night, super peaceful. Compared to Stagecoach at the north end of town, this place is serene. I stayed at Stagecoach once and never again. If I ever come to Beatty again, I will be staying here. Very conveinent access to hills west of town leading to Rhyolite. I had a great time. Donkeys walked right up to my trailer both times when I was leaving.

This little motel was surprisingly charming! The rooms are clean and the beds were comfortable. The resident cat and chihuahua were probably my daughter's favorite part of the trip. The staff were very nice.

VERY affordable and clean.
Yes, the carpet and chairs are stained. However, all the surfaces were spotless and the linens were crisp and clean as well. I would highly recommend. Plus, there's a really adorable cat.

On our way back to Oregon from Vegas, this place was perfect. The service is so friendly and wonderful. The room was clean and well maintained. We love Mittens the cat! Nice town with good food in the area.

I had a good experience here; Cat gave me a good price on their last room. Sadly, I left my credit card there but the staff was kind enough to forward it to me by registered mail at their expense. Very helpful, very kind. I would come back again.

El Portal is an all American motel just 40 mins from Death Valley National Park. The drive to and from the park is absolutely gorgeous. The rooms have two queen beds, microwave and mini fridge. The folks that run the place are kind and helpful. The food options in Beatty are limited. I highly recommend carrying some microwavable food with you. Do not expect a five star luxury experience. But the place was cozy and perfect for two days of park exploration. A special shout-out to Mittens the cat, she runs the place!

Second time staying here, it's always clean very clean. The manager is very nice and accommodating. They have actual keys which I love. The place is so charming.
The coffee they provide is quite terrible though. Gema's cafe was kind of terrible as well, and i don't find the coffee at the candy store to be very good. Hate to say it but i would recommend Denny's.
10/10 Would love to stay again if I come through here.

Everyone here was super friendly. My tire blew out in the middle of no where and I had to wait half the day for a tow truck so I booked a room. I needed a lock for my trailer and the manger went above and beyond to help me find it even her kid helped loved this little town. The place is a little older but super cute and amazing people. Felt and home.

It's awesome hotel 🏨 verry clean rooms and verry nice staff behaviour

Staff extremely friendly and welcoming and makes you feel like family. Rooms are very clean and beds are comfortable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone passing through Beatty.

El Portal Motel is a good deal; we would stay there again. Very clean; owners are friendly and helpful; great price. Our room only had a shower, so families with children may want to ask if there are other options.

Great place, simple and clean. The hosts were very helpful when we needed an extra night. They also let us leave a car while were were camping in DV for a couple of nights.
An extra bonus - The VFW is within walking distance and it's a hidden gem for dinner.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would best most relaxing place everyone super friendly family owned by a Dad with a lot of kids very peaceful place to he I will forever come back

We were able to find one available room from this Motel just one week before our trip to Death Valley. This motel is located nearby Arco gas station (wonderful gas price) and fast food restaurant. Most importantly, the owner and staff were so kind and respectful to us. Thank you, El Portal Motel!!!!

No frills, basic motor lodge. Has large rooms, comfortable beds and other nice amenities for short or longterm stays. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely will be back to stay again.

Old school motel. Paneled walls, old furnishings and even an actual key to get into your room (not a card like most hotels have now). Most old motels like this are pretty bad with sketchy people hanging around but this one is actually pretty nice. The room was super clean and spacious. The AC was cold. The other guests were mostly tourist families like us so we felt very comfortable. I'd stay here again.

We got in a litte early and it was not a problem. Front desk was so helpful. It was an older, park on front of your room type of place, our room was very clean and comfortable.

This place is very clean and and the rates are very fair. Its a pet free and non smoking motel so if you have allergies its a great place to stay. The attendants are very friendly and helpful. This is my 1st choice when passing thru the area.
