Staff were extra helpful and friendly. Room decor was very homey with quilt and fascinating wood tables. Trees outside back window added privacy
Was quiet fir sleeping too
Our only issue was room ac/heater which was quite loud so we turned it off and were fine

Roomy and Comfortable. The couple at the office were friendly and helpful. The suggestions for dinner and breakfast were excellent.
Nothing. I would suggest putting 2 or 3 hooks in the bathroom for hanging towels and toiletry bags.

Pictures don’t do it justice. The place is in a perfect location to Joseph and Enterprise and an EV charger. The owners are amazing and helpful. Free breakfast was a nice treat too!
Loved it all.

The beds are the most outstanding factor combined with the cleanliness.
My biggest grip is a 10 am checkout with them pounding on your door at ten telling you that you need to leave. For the price of a night's stay, 11 am checkout is far more reasonable.

The staff who ran the motel were very friendly and gave good information about local events and places to see.
We asked for two rooms on the ground floor, but when we arrived only one was available there.

The breakfast was ideal for the size of lobby. They were items that were easy to take in the car. Most people like getting on the road so a sit down breakfast is not always better.
The homeless vehical parked below the viewless back window. Thankfully they moved on.

From the moment I arrived, I was treated like royalty. I was even changed into a room that was far easier for me to access. The room was clean, well appointed, quiet, and very comfortable. I was given excellent travel advice and offered options, depending on my interests.
As far as I’m concerned, the place was great!

An exceptionally kind and helpful host. A personalized approach. You can learn a lot about the city. The motel is very clean and tidy. The town is very pleasant for a short stay in transit.
Everything's all right

It was clean, comfortable and located near Wallowa mtns. They were knowledgeable about the area and gave great suggestions for hiking and dining.
Not a big deal at all..the blow dryer in the room didn’t work.

The room was very clean and smelled nice. The staff was very nice. We stayed 2 days and was told up front that the staff would not mess with the room but if we needed anything just ask. They did just that. The breakfast was mostly pastries which was okay for us. The a/c felt nice. The bed was just a little uncomfortable but that could be because nothing is ever like home.

I just wrapped up a 9-night stay at the Ponderosa Motel in Enterprise, Oregon, and I’m honestly impressed. The rooms are spotless, roomy, and thoughtfully laid out—plenty of outlets, comfy beds, and big windows that let in that beautiful Wallowa Mountain light. Housekeeping clearly takes pride in their work; everything—from the fresh towels to the perfectly made bed—was hotel-chain crisp but with that independent-motel warmth.
Location is another win. You’re seconds from downtown Enterprise, a quick drive to Joseph, and practically at the doorstep of Wallowa Lake and the Eagle Cap Wilderness. After day of exploring, coming back to a hot shower and a quiet room felt like luxury.
Staff deserve a special shout-out. Check-in was friendly and fast, and throughout my stay they offered genuine local tips—best coffee, even where to catch the sunset. It’s clear they care about their guests’ experience, not just the transaction.
If you’re heading to northeast Oregon and want clean rooms, stellar service, and a great base for adventure, book the Ponderosa Motel. I’ll absolutely stay again.
The only hiccup was the Wi-Fi, which was spotty at times. In fairness, the front desk explained it was an ISP outage affecting the whole area, not their equipment. They even tried rebooting their system to help. When that’s the lone downside—and it’s outside their control—you know you’ve found a solid place.

Clean and comfortable. Mini fridge was a bit bigger than expected which helped keep our food cold. Across from the city hall and free outdoor concert every Thursday night.
The shower head was basic and didn't have an extra strong flow.

We've always stay at the Ponderosa whenever we are in the Wallowa area. Love their motel - the wood exterior is awesome.
Nothing, can't think of anything I didn't like.

The Ponderosa is a gem of a hotel! The front desk staff are more like hosts, so very friendly and helpful. While it's an older hotel, the rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable and the soundproofing is very good. I loved being able to drive right up to my room. It's a friendly hotel and we enjoyed sitting in front of our room and visiting with other travelers. Enterprise is a quaint little town and the hotel is in the middle so easy to walk to restaurants.

I like parking my motorcycle outside my room. Room clean and comfortable, nicer than where I usually stay for about the same $. Have stayed here at least three times in the past five years.

I wish the window would’ve had a second curtain on it… It either was a blackout curtain or everybody upstairs could walk by and see right in my room. I would’ve loved to been able to kerp the window open with fresh air, but not had a blackout curtain.

A clean comfortable room with a great décor. Easy accessibility. Centrally located to all major restaurants.
Helpful staff. Great shower controls.
Place was understaffed and the receptionist was also the go to person for everything.
Don't like bathrooms that have a handbasin outside the bathroom.
