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 Excellent

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!

Good staff, clean parking area, good breakfast, close to downtown, quiet. Room was clean but some updating should be considered. Coffee was excellent. Stayed there several times. Price was good. Will return again.

Nice room, comfortable bed.
Steven, 1-night trip

8/10 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.
Chris, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

we went to Goldendale Observatory park, the ponderosa motel is on the way and close, it is very convenient for us go out at night for star gazing. The room is clean and neat. the kitchen is good, and room is quiet. the only complain I have the bed is too soft.

Donna, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The people that work there are very rude.. I will never stay there again. I do not recommend anyone to stay at this motel
Savarrah, 1-night trip

Loved the family/friends group suite!
Roxanne, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Perfectly good motel even though the exterior could use some paint and a revamp.
linda, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Very old property and beds.
Cindy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I don’t see how anyone could possibly say anything negative about this wonderful motel. Everything was absolutely clean and our room appeared to have everything newly remodeled. We actually had two separate rooms with the door that closes for two people to have total privacy. Our space was incredibly spacious and felt a great deal more like an apartment than a hotel room. There was a full kitchen with everything that is needed for basic cooking: wonderful place especially considering that there are few other options. The breakfast was hot with absolutely amazing freshly made hash, brown potatoes with vegetables and eggs. Absolutely delicious danishes, fresh juice, and hot biscuits and gravy!!
Laura H, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Thank you! Liked the family/friends group room.

5 minutes to Goldendale Observatory State Park
Fei, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

I will say the person was friendly enough upon check-in. The full breakfast was very good. I was supposed to stay two nights but I cancelled the second night. Dirty and old. I wasn't sure if I should feel safe or not, given the surroundings and the people outside arguing late at night. I would not recommend it.
The window sills. I didn't even take pics of the curtains and the showerhead coming apart from the wall.
Cody, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Bed was lumpy and hard, air conditioning was very noisy, no breakfast at all, employee needed the day off, expensive for the accomidations. Customer service lacking. overall rundown. We wont recommend.
