Top El Portal Hotel Reviews

Rush Creek Lodge and Spa at Yosemite

Rush Creek Lodge and Spa at Yosemite

10/10 Excellent
"Loved the hotel, right next to the huge Yosemite park. Loved the SPA, spent hours there using a day pass and felt renewed. I did try to book a facial but got my signals crossed with the booking agent and the facial provider went home before my appointment. Grateful for the spa because the hotel pool was overrun with children having a specularly raucous time. Great place for families to wear kids out before going to sleep."

"The proximity to Yosemite and the environment around the hotel were amazing, felt like a retreat of its own. Loved having the view of the river and walking the grounds. Amenities kept the kids occupied and entertained. Food was wonderful and easily accessible. Great location and ambiance; loved everything about it!"
