Nice remodel and great location!

Nicely remodeled and comfortable. They need new photos on hotels.com to show how nice it looks after the renovation! I was shocked as it was much nicer than what I thought I’d be getting. Pleasant surprise. Also it’s smack dab in the center of town, so it’s close to everything!

This property was under going renovations when we stayed there. Our room was clean and comfortable. The only thing I did not care for was the paint fumes, it was a little too much for me but my husband didn't notice. We would definitely stay there again

What I loved, the beds and shower I miss already! The Ponderosa is currently undergoing a transformation and our room was clean with all new furnishings and windows. Small kitchenette with full size refrigerator. We walked everywhere but Mike can rent you a golf cart at a very reasonable price if you need. Food choices were all within a six or seven minute walk for us. Very quiet at night with no disturbances. We definitely will return. Mike was attentive and easy to reach.
Best shower ever!
Upgraded mirrors in bedroom and bathroom.
Just add food.
