"It was a cute room and it was clean. But it’s not very well lit outside if you wanted to go to the casino at night. Also, there is no on-site gift shop and no on-site food at all! So it was a problem that I forgot my toothbrush and I was hungry. There’s no refrigerator in the room either so you can’t keep food there. It’s good if you don’t wanna spend a lot of time in your room and you’re not looking for food close by."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Ponderosa Palisades?
The best time to go to Ponderosa Palisades is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

Spring offers mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the national parks without the peak summer heat. Wildflowers are often in bloom, adding to the scenery.

Autumn also provides comfortable temperatures, usually between 10°C and 20°C, alongside the stunning fall foliage. This period is particularly good for those looking to enjoy scenic drives and vineyard tours as the harvest season begins. The cooler evenings are great for relaxing by a fire.

While summer (July and August) is popular, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, it's also the busiest time, leading to larger crowds and higher prices for accommodation and activities.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
