The staff were very helpful and friendly. The property was beautiful. Having a alpaca farm on the grounds was a fun amenity. Great pool and clean rooms.

Breakfast was yummy. Staff were attentive and smiled!!! Liked our room very much… comfortable pillows too. (The grass/ garden outside the room was beautifully kept!) Would have preferred a king bed but still happy with the comfort of the queen beds. :))

I've stayed here for an event two years in a row. Depending on what you're looking for it fits for the area with a cabin like feel and live Alpaca's that you can see up close. It's a pretty cool place to see while in the area.

Outside pool could have been maintained better, lots of floating pine needles in it. The hot tub was hot but there was no obvious way to find where the controls were to turn on the jets. Otherwise a good stay.

Ponderosa lodge was absolutely beautiful. The property is well maintained. The staff was absolutely amazing. Very kind and friendly. Breakfast was amazing! The reputation for the breakfast exceeded itself. There were so many options to eat. Everything was fresh. It was a clean area. You have the option to eat inside or outside.

My first Best Westen stay and I was very pleasantly surprised. The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. I absolutely adored the Alpacas and the breakfast was great! When I first attempted to check in, I did encounter an employee (Jo) who made me feel very unwelcome and inconvenienced when I asked if it was possible to accommodate an early check in. I wasn’t expecting anything for free, I was more than willing to pay. She was dismissive and rude. I was actually nervous to come back at the 4pm check in time. I decided to contact the customer service line and was almost immediately accommodated with an early check in. The male staff that greeted me (NOT the woman named Jo) was so kind and professional. And during my 4 day stay I had nothing but wonderful service and everyone was so friendly. Maybe Jo was having a bad day, but I felt compelled to explain how some of her commentary made me feel. I do recommend this Best Western, it was wonderful.

Rooms were spacious with comfortable beds and the bathroom had a sink inside and outside the bathroom so getting ready in the morning was easier. Balcony was useful for our ski gear. Staff were friendly. Free breakfast was unexpected and had a large range of hot options that satisfied vegetarian and omnivore eaters. Room was quiet despite being near the highway and it’s cool to see ponderosa forest and alpaca out the balcony windows. Hotel is across the street from a large grocery store and fast food options. Within a mile of easy walking are many cafes, restaurants, shopping, and walking/biking trails. Hiking trails and cross country ski trails 10minutes drive, and downhill skiing within 30minutes. No complaints

The staff was really nice. The room was clean, however, the little kitchen area could have used a little more effort. Also, the other negative was the coffee in the room was awful. Not sure if it was the coffee or the water in the coffeemaker. Putting that aside, we will definitely stay there again. Very relaxing and a good location. The breakfast was also good with a great variety of choices.

Lovely suite with view of the alpacas. Cozy fireplace. Excellent jacuzzi spa bath tub. I only wish the pillows were firmer. But that's a personal preference. I need to start traveling with my own pillow I'm getting old. Free breakfast was great. Biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs and bacon. Waffle maker. 10/10 would recommend staying here.

We travelled with our two dogs and the room was excellent. We were given a room that we could walk out onto the grass from our huge sliding doors and the alpacas were there to entertain us! The shower was great and the bed comfortable! Nice to have a fridge in the room but there were no dishes or cutlery other than a couple of wine glasses (which i appreciated) and two small glasses. Great spot in Sisters!

My bathroom tub had long hair and pubic hair in it. The room wasn’t cleaned thoroughly, but housekeeping was gone for the day once we arrived so I had to go get cleaning supplies from the front desk and clean it myself. They offered me a discount then later said they couldn’t give me one because I booked through a 3rd party.
