We found the staff unfriendly at this place when we checked in. Room was very dark and rather uninviting but we must have been very tired since we nearly slept past check-out time. The person on duty that morning allowed us to stay another half hour but we ended up not needing it.

I don't understand how this inn received so many very goods. It's not good. They say to not judge a book by its cover but do for this inn. What you see is what you get. I'm staying here because of a bus tour, not my choice. The inn is basic, I feel like we went in a time warp.... More

Debra and Thomas were the BEST! They showed you they cared and gave their undivided attention to our needs. Although the motel was near the TransCanada, the sound of traffic was minimal and the room was clean. If you want to feel at home, this is certainly the place to be! Thankyou again Deb and Thomas...you made the place feel... More

I don't usually check around before choosing, but it was early and we had time. The Travelodge wanted the highest price for the season and wouldn't give my senior parents a discount for their room. We had stayed at Super 8 in Merritt the night before so checked out Super 8 in Golden as well. Unfortunately the lobby was so... More

We stayed 2 nights during Alberta Family Day longweekend so the entire town was very busy. The staff tried their best to make our stay comfortable. The room was spartan but clean, comfy and can't hear the highway noise. Not a bad place to spend the night for $100.

Our friends booked a total of four rooms in the inn for a ski weekend. We drove into town late in the evening and were the last in our group to check in. After we had paid, we were informed that the heat doesn't work in the room, but a space heater was provided. We were assured that we "probably... More

I have stayed at the ponderosa probably a 75 nights over the last 10 years. Kind of ridiculous, I know. It has never been a luxurious hotel but more of a budget motel. I have never expected more. Over the many years I have stayed here, the prices have steadily increased but the rooms have deteriorated. The rooms are fairly... More
