Fast response from staff. Stayed in the Lil Jo room, it was private and clean. I liked that we could park in the back and be close to our room. The three other queen rooms are close together, I would be upset if I had booked one of the others and been so close to the other couples staying. Could be nice for multiple friends to book together. Glad I made my room choice, though it was just a guess.

I had a unique situation where I left a personal item when I left. They contacted housekeeping and got it back to me. I'm not sure everyone would do that. It was really appreciated.

Pleasantly surprised by the Ponderosa Inn. Nondescript from the outside, but the room was very appealing. Well-appointed, with a very tall wood-clad ceiling. Contactless entry went fine. The microwave in the common area was put to good use heating up the excellent pizza from the nearby Escalante Outfitters.

Most importantly the bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. Our only complaint was that it was noisy. We could hear the man in the room next to us coughing during the night and he got up before daylight and we could hear a lot of noise. Also the air conditioner was noisy so we had to turn it off to sleep.
