We used to visit Beatty, Rhyolite, and Death Valley regularly when we lived in Vegas. We always stayed at the El Portal. The rooms were not Ritz Carlton quality, but they were always clean, the price was right, and the beds were comfortable. Not bad for a sleepover on the way to DV. more

El Portal Motel turned out to be a pleasant surprise in the middle of a desert. The staff were friendly, gave us some valuable tips about the area & made us feel very welcome, which was especially important after an exhausting day in the Death Valley. more

Welcome to the town of beatty, full of trailers, trash and rude people. This motel is no exception. Made a reservation, but had to cancel due to a change of travel schedule. We kindly visited the motel, as it was on the route to Vegas, to cancel the reservation in person. The B*()%$ at the reception told us we still... more

Our brief stay at Beatty's Nevada El Portal Motel was a very memorable one. Unfortunately, there is nothing pleasant to reminisce about: our room was noisy, smelly and dirty - simply filthy, dilapidated dump! This place is for you only if you cannot afford to pay a little more than $50 for 2 people per night. Please, be aware of... more

Reserved room online for one night for $55 plus tax. Confirmation email stated rate of $60 plus tax. Emailed back to dispute rate and received no response. Emailed again (to same email that sent the confirmation) to say that we would be happy to stay at the reserved rate of $55+ and if no response was received we would presume... more

I booked a room at the El Portal Motel in Beatty based on the recommendations on this site. The room I got was so different from the descriptions on this site that I actually went out and re-checked the name and the address. Sadly the motel room was extremely run down, with stained brown shag carpet, dirty curtains, chipped and... more

This was my second time staying here, and I ended up in the same room as the first time. No surprises, everything was exactly as it was last year. The room was clean & reasonably comfortable. My only complaint is that 3 lightbulbs were burnt out and there was no garbage can in the room, but other than that it... more

The El Portal Motel cost us $49.95 for the night. The room was spacious with a large bed, small fridge and microwave. The whole place looks very dated and could do with a bit of investment. Having said that, it was comfortable and our room was very clean. The motel is ideally located if you are visiting Death Valley. Beatty... more

An exciting, upscale, romantic western motel this is not! But wait! The El Portal motel in Beatty, NV, however, provides a comfortable and quiet night's sleep for very little, about $45 double. We stayed there in mid June, 2007 after seeing other visitors reviews on TripAdvisor, which have been favorable, except for the guy who got shut out due to... more
