Loved by Ponderosa Motor Inn guests
"For the price this was great place to overnight on the trip."
"The location is perfect - less than a 10-minute drive from the Golden Sky Bridge, which made sightseeing so convenient."
"Before I came here, but after I had booked, I read negative reviews about how dirty it was in the room. So I was prepared with my own cleaning products. When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised to need none of my cleaners. It was as clean as I could hope for."

Eat & Drink
Ricky's All Day Grill serves a good range of American food and lies in close proximity to this Golden hotel.
“This roadside motel offers budget-conscious families and vacationers a clean, basic stay with a complimentary breakfast; the friendly front desk service stands out, creating a welcoming atmosphere. While some quirks exist, such as unconventional bathroom layouts and a peculiar breakfast attendant, the overall value and hospitality make it a worthwhile option. It's a no-frills choice with genuine charm.”

Unexpected Comfort on the Road
clean hotelsimple breakfastcareful handlingdated decor
I found the hotel clean and well kept. The complimentary breakfast , though simple , gave a good start to my days of travel. The staff seemed very focused on safety, I noticed their careful handling of the ice machine in the lobby.
The decor felt a little dated , especially the bathroom fixtures. There were some minor signs of wear and tear , like a small crack in the sink. I think that an update would give the rooms a fresher feel.
