Pros +
- Our 3rd time staying and always a pleasure. Beautiful grounds and quiet, comfortable rooms.
- Beautiful surroundings
- The room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel is a little dated but well maintained.
Cons -
- The staff at check in were rude. She insisted on charging me a pet fee for a service animal. I advised her that was illegal and did not pay.
- I was the only room occupied in the section in which I was staying. The second day I was there the hotel was having some contracted work done. If I had to sleep during the day it would have been impossible.
- This was my 4th stay and for some reason they gave me (for the second time) a room near housekeeping and laundry. Not the best room on the property by any means. I guess it doesn't matter to Ponderosa Motel if you are a return customer or not.

The setting and the grounds are beautiful. Great spot for any occasion; work or play.

Our room was perfect. Had a little patio where we could sit outside. It was literally 20 feet from the pool and hot tub. It was the perfect, quiet local getaway we needed.
We could not get an advertisement for ROKU TV from. Popping up every 10 seconds on the screen. It was very annoying.
The grounds are beautifully kept. Off the stree so you had the feeling that you were off the beaten track. Staff was really nice, room clean, great pool.
The location was wonderful. Right off the main drag but nestled in the trees. Very quiet. Room was basic but big. Beds were quite comfortable and I love the little patio off of our room. Perfect for relaxing. Frig, microwave and coffee pot were great
Friendly StaffClean RoomOverall Atmoshere
Many people staying were smoking outside, so when we tried to enjoy the night right outside the room, we kept smelling cigarretsPool and Jacuzee are nice but I wish Jacuzee smells cololine less than it was.
Friendly staff, lovely grounds and pool area. Nice continental breakfast. Easy check-in and check-out.
We went to the pool area at 8 pm for the children to swim, there were many people (12-13) including diapered babies in the hot tub area (posted limit 6). It was so full of "suds" that these people were throwing it at one another. The group was rowdy, too!
Loved the little patio in the back.
Cute cozy place in the mountains to stay.
Location and the Motel Grounds
Pretty nice overall
Motel was very clean and spacious! Very nice!
We usually like the corner room but our room this stay was remodeled beautiful room. The room was spacious, clean, the beds were comfy & good pillows. The staff is friendly and always happy to help
There not anything I do not like
It was close to my son. Best Westrrn was my only option before
The mattress was a little lumpy and saggy
Location is great! We stay every year when we visit our kids! Love the rooms, bed was fantastic, surrounding areas, walking trail out back and the staff! Jen is awesome! Dutch Bros is right across the street! Have not at breakfast at Ponderosa only because we hook up with our family and eat with them.
Longer stay but our time is limited as we head home for Christmas.
Breakfast included mostly items purchased from Costco or other bulk food stores - plenty of options for juices, milks, breakfast pastries, bagels, bread, sweets, packaged oatmeal, hard-boiled eggs, coffee, fruit, and more. Not a 'traditional' continental breakfast, exactly, but more than adequate for anyone's needs.
There was nothing that I didn't like. Everything was exceptional.
