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.

So, So
The staff were nice, but the room was just ok. The bathroom door did not latch when closed. While there were only a few guests at the hotel, we were all in rooms clumped together, which provided us the opportunity to hear our neighbor's tv until after 1 am.

There were small ants everywhere in the room. Several lights did not work. The TV did not work. Housekeeping came in while I was changing into my pants and it was not checkout time yet. No snack machine on site. The soda machine only accepted dollar bills. No one was at the counter at checkout to complain to. This place is not worth the price!!! Save your money and go down the street to the quality Inn!!!!
