The Ponderosa Motel

The Ponderosa Motel

8/10 Good
"It was a fantastic room, very comfortable and roomy. The room was great and I thought that the little touches were great, like soap, shampoo, conditioner, make-up remover wipes, etc. The only draw back was no spot to walk my dog unless I went off site. Also don't like the separate charge for dogs to stay."
