We really enjoyed our stay at El Potal from 4/28-5/1/2008. The ambience is that of a peaceful retreat, even though it is located very centrally. The rooms were charming and comfortable.

Sedona is a place of beauty, and the El Portal is a perfect compliment to that beauty. Our room (Arts & Crafts room #4) was absolutely fantastic. We were not at all interested in a big tv or room service or amenties such as that; if you are, you might not say the same. We had a fireplace, and very... more

We stayed at El Portal April 14th - 16th. It was a truly beautiful place to stay. Sort of like a unique B&B, but without free breakfast. The rooms are beautiful, and unique as is the entire Inn. The owner was fascinating to talk to, and El Portal added positive memories to our first ever visit to Sedona. more

El Portal is a really beautiful place in a great location and they couldn't be friendlier. The quaint inn and well appointed rooms and a big lavish bathroom.

On a 10-day road trip across the western US we had the best stay of all at El Portal in Sedona. Steve--the owner--and his wife were wonderful hosts and the staff were courteous, helpful, and charming. The structure itself is very unique and cozy while offering a perfect location in the heart of Sedona. Rooms featured a blend of modern... more
