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.

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.

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.

Owner was wonderful and I truly do believe that he's doing the best he can to restore to life this old motel. It has a lot of character and truly the potential to really be nicer than it is. I would hope with all the price gouging it's taking place in Abilene right now they would take advantage of that and use that money to better the motel

I accidentally booked this motel when I was in a rush. This place was so scary to be at. I checked in and then left after seeing that my door to the room didn’t even shut all the way and there was gaps in the door. No blinds in the bathroom just a little curtain u could see through. It was beyond sketchy.
