Poncha motel. Abilene, Texas
It was very old and run down. A very loud air conditioner which was good which was good. It helped drown out the train which goes by across the street. We would not stay there again.

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.

This is an old motel that hasn’t been kept up and is in a similar area of town. It’s unfortunate because the owners were very nice and extremely accommodating, and at least the bed had clean sheets. But there was soap and hair in the shower from a previous occupant, cracked tiles and a spitting the floor which felt like I was going to fall through each time I passed over it. I would not recommend it at all

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.

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.

Room was cramped and dirty, and there was no seat on the toilet. Disgusting experience.
