Ponderosa Motel is our go-to accommodations every time we visit Goldendale, which is about once a quarter to get a look at the seasonal night sky via the Goldendale Observatory. There isn't a major difference between the rooms & facilities at Ponderosa Motel & the Days Inn just up the road, but the breakfast at PM tips it over the edge whenever we have a choice between the two locations.

Visitors from Seattle
We stayed overnight in late-February for a destination 1-day trip from Seattle to Goldendale to visit the Observatory. The motel attendant was very friendly and accommodating. This is a classic Americana motel, down to the Googie neon blinking space-age tri-colored lights that grace the roof at the road-side entrance. The cost is quite affordable, the rooms are sufficiently appointed, the beds are very comfortable. The motel allows pets (for a surcharge) in designated rooms. Keep in mind that this is a budget motel. It's utilitarian and comfortable, not elegant and would benefit from better maintenance. Also, the free breakfast includes fresh fruit, buffet scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, cereals, Cream of Wheat, yogurt, make-your-own waffles, biscuits and gravy.
