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.

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.
