We stayed at Ponderosa Motel two times on our trip; once on the way to our destination and again on our way back home. The stay was very nice. The breakfasts were great.

Laurie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No frills motel in a sleepy hamlet.

Breakfast was a tad less than adequate with weird looking scrambled eggs, tough overcooked sausage, under-baked biscuits, the gravy was good- but overall selections were narrow. Staff were helpful and congenial. Room was clean, but showing signs of wear. Definitely a no-frills place but adequate for my needs.

Overall good place to stay. We felt safe there. The room was clean. The beds were ok. Bunk beds were a wonderful feature for the kids, though they were a bit creaky.
Heather, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We have a big family so it was great to have multiple beds in the spacious room and lots of seating. We also appreciate the full buffet breakfast with eggs and waffles included in the great price and the staff being so friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a great stay!

Room was filthy. When talked to front desk about it they sensed unconcerned and refunded my money and i was left at 10pm without a room.

Steven, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value for good comfort

Very comfortable room and bed. The only downside was the A/C unit, which had tiny buttons with all the labels worn off so it was hard to figure out how to turn it on and adjust it. Very reasonably priced room!

8/10 Very good

This is a reasonably priced place with breakfast included. It’s older and has noisy air conditioning but if you turn it off the area is quiet. The market across the street had amazing produce and well stocked . The staff are very nice. Shower could have been better, low pressure.
