    What is this?? My next bucketlist, that's what.
    Dianalynn R.

    This was a good stop. The food on the shelf wasn't what I expected from a truck stop. It was more grocery type take home and cook. That's just an FYI, not a complaint. The chocolate I did end up buying was pretty old though, it was white like aged. It was on sale though, so I realize that was a risk I took. I won't be buying food there in the future. But for a quick stop, it was okay. The employees were busy chatting with each other, but they did wear masks. And they were pleasant enough.

    Taco?

    Portal Finding a delicious, healthy restaurant in the…read moreoutback is always an unexpected treat. Good food, good music, great service. Huevos rancheros from their brunch menu, trout perfectly cooked and a Greek salad with fresh greens at dinner. Authentic latte from their Italian espresso machine. Friendly servers who check back often and bring extra salsa on request and who had no problem loaning us two of their mugs to use in our room for morning coffee. When we expressed our appreciation of the musical selections playing on their sound system, the owner explained that it was a random mix of "stations" selected by various employees over the last 16 years! This was our second visit while on a road trip in two successive years. Will we be back again? What do you think?

    My review is only for the Motel portion of the Portal Lodge. My first room was unmade so I…read morerequested an alternate room. Good news, the second room was clean. The downside was the unavoidable decor and atmosphere. If you dial the wayback machine to the 1960's then you can imagine the room. The interior was extremely dark with a small window facing onto a common deck. The curtains were drawn because otherwise any guest walking by could look inside. Hence it was an exceptionally dark room with a small amount of filtered light. Updating the furnishings, painting the inside, etc. would make a huge improvement. Overall, I would have vastly preferred camping. Unfortunately, I didn't think of that ahead of time and had already booked 2 nights at the lodge. After one night I found the lodge too depressing and returned to Tucson. I did not request a refund since it was my mistake and the lodge needs the money for room renovation. The Portal region itself is fantastic. Great hiking, birding, and so on.
