Hotel was definitely dated. Room was clean and bed was ok. Breakfast was terrible and the body wash in the shower was out and there was no soap to substitute! Not my favorite place to stay

The room was fine, quiet and comfortable. What set this place apart was the delicious breakfast in the morning. The eggs and potatoes tasted homemade.

The hotel is a bit older, but combined with the location and price its a good deal. If you just need an economical hotel to sleep for the night it is a good place to rest.

The room has been updated but it still looks a bit “tired” BUT it has a great kitchen with a full size stove and fridge. I was just there for the night but it is great to know for the future. The person who checked me in was very nice and changed my room from the 2nd floor to ground level which I appreciated. The best part was complimentary breakfast. They actually cooked the eggs, sausage and potatoes on site and didn’t use frozen precooked “hot” food. They had a great selection of cold breakfast options along with juice, tea and coffee. The breakfast made this motel a great value. I will definitely stay again.

Ponderosa Motel through Hotels.com
I made reservations to stay at the Ponderosa Motel last week. When we arrived it was getting dark, and the front office was locked, so we rang the bell and waited. Nobody came. We called and rang the doorbell continuously...nobody came. I knocked on the door behind the office, where I figured the person working stays. No answer. Another couple came and tried, as well. We waited in the dark for an hour, which was kinda unsafe feeling at that time of night and we were exhausted from driving. Finally, thinking maybe the employee or owner had a heart attack or something, we called the police. They came and entered the back door. The dude was sleeping or passed out and not answering. After the police left, it took him another 15 minutes to come to the office and he never said a word about it or apologized. So weird and unprofessional. Had we not called the police, we likely would have been with nowhere to stay. Do not book this hotel.
