Nice, quiet, and safe. Good staff. People may question the property from the outside but I guarantee that you would love the rooms. Rooms are new, clean and really great. Will stay here again and will recommend others to stay.

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.

The motel is VERY unsafe. I wasn’t expecting to have Crack heads in all the neighboring rooms. I was there to get some rest before taking my State Board test. Needless to say, I didn’t get rested. I even felt it necessary to block the door with chairs and a desk.

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.

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

Room was cramped and dirty, and there was no seat on the toilet. Disgusting experience.
