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.

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!!

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.

Currently, the property is under upgrading construction. Under these conditions the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a room where the the rug had just been steam cleaned. Looked good! The bed was comfortable. The bathroom had a standard toilet not one of those kiddy ones! That's a plus. Someone had taken the cord from the fridge. The breakfast was nothing special but again the staff was pleasant and helpful. The Ponderosa was handy for our traveling home and I hope to return to see their renovations. Plus it's super close to the observatory!
