First off Eff Expedia as they wouldn’t refund me. I spent over $120 on what was a 7.2 rating for this room. I pull up and immediately I notice the parking lot is full of drug addicts and no parking as advertised. Shirtless homeless people all sitting outside doing drugs. I was scared to get out of my car and immediately took off. Expedia would not refund me as they said it’s the hotels policy. DoNOT book here. Scam artists

This was the worst place I have ever stayed in. Parking was nonexistent. The rooms looked NOTHING like Hotels.com website. If I had wanted to take a shower I would have had to literally climb over the toilet to get to the shower. I had to do my business and literally had to sit on the toilet sideways because there was not enough room between the toilet and the wall..

Cozy room and comfortable bed. AC was difficult to adjust, but I got it to work all night while I slept. Old motel on former US-80 in town, so parking is very tight and the lot is muddy. Wi-do worked OK.

This is an old motel that hasn’t been kept up and is in a similar area of town. It’s unfortunate because the owners were very nice and extremely accommodating, and at least the bed had clean sheets. But there was soap and hair in the shower from a previous occupant, cracked tiles and a spitting the floor which felt like I was going to fall through each time I passed over it. I would not recommend it at all

I had a Cute little room...and maybe I missed where it said there was going to be a deposit. A heads up on that would have been ideal ,... but not a big deal. I liked it there. Definitely improvements since the last time I stayed there. Pets would be awesome too.... you should do like motel 6 and pets are free...you would get so much more business because people are crazy about their animals.

Ponca Motel offers a welcoming atmosphere with attentive staff and clean rooms. The location is convenient, and the overall ambiance makes for a comfortable stay. However, guests should be aware that occasional train noise may impact light sleepers. Additionally, certain aspects of the outer surroundings that are city owed could benefit from the citycloser attention to ensure a premium experience. The hotel has great potential.
