Super accommodating. Great staff, clean room. We ended up here on the way home when the roads stayed being bad. Breakfast was great. Even the bar in town had super sweet staff.

THE most friendly people run this otherwise kind of average-looking motel. The breakfast is homemade with fresh-cooked potatoes, eggs scrambled with peppers, onions & sausage and they have waffles, cereals & more. We stayed for two nights while exploring the area museums. Much better than more expensive motels on the coast. Loved it!

We had a pleasant stay Ponderosa Motel. It is an older facility but maintained well, clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly. We had our dog with us and no problems there. The most amazing thing was their breakfast buffet. Hot dishes included scrambled eggs, sausage and very good biscuits and gravy. There was fresh fruit along with the usual cereals, bagels, and yogurt. We would gladly stay here again.

In June 2021, I stayed at the Ponderosa Motel, and did not have a good experience, the room was not the cleanest, the toilet was not fastened to the floor, the bath tub did not drain, and the shower head did not work properly. Due to the condition of the room my wife and I left the hotel a night earlier than we had originally planned. I left a very negative review, that in all fairness may have been a little over the top due to my frustration about the issues I had getting a refund for the night that I did not stay (mostly dealing with booking.com). It is now August 2021, my Uncle recently stayed

Very good place to stay if you are planning to go to Goldendale observatory. It's only few minutes away. The lady at check in is very courteous. Breakfast was very good, especially the scrambled eggs! It has a waffle machine too. Rooms had AC and clean.

Definitely a budget motel but the guy at the counter was super nice. I slept well, the AC worked good and it was a perfect location. They had the BEST buffet breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. I wasn't expecting that at all. I appreciated my stay.
