Frommer's Review
You just can't help but fall in love with this amazing inn. Owners Steve and Connie Segner and Lynda Bourgeois have done everything right, and the overall experience here makes this one of the very best lodgings in the state. Located adjacent to the Tlaquepaque shopping center and built of hand-formed adobe blocks, El Portal, with its pleasant central courtyard, is designed to resemble a 200-year-old hacienda and is a monument to fine craftsmanship. The inn is filled with Arts-and-Crafts-period antiques, including not only the furniture, but also the door knobs, hinges, and even air-conditioning vents. In the living room, the huge ceiling beams were salvaged from a railroad bridge over the Great Salt Lake. Each of the large guest rooms has its own distinctive character, from Arts and Crafts to cowboy chic (rustic log furniture). All but two rooms have whirlpool tubs, and many rooms have private balconies with red-rock views. Exquisite breakfasts and weekend dinners are served.
