Great time at the Ponderosa Lodge Red River
Red River is a small town and all restaurants close by night. We hit a snow diving in so we didn’t make it in time to eat dinner. The owner offered us a large pizza he had. Was probably one the best experiences I’ve ever had at a hotel. They are remodeling but the rooms were great. Would recommend 100%

Wonderful host at the front desk, beautifully remodeled and upgraded room. Super comfy, hot shower, clean, comfortable bed. The property looks a shambles on the outside as it is undergoing remodeling, but otherwise, perfect spot!

Don't let the outside scare you. The building is old and they are renovating but the rooms are amazing. Clean, comfortable, and upscale. Well worth the price

Was very happy to have a completely renovated room. The room was beautiful. I got upgraded to a king suite with no charge and would definitely stay here again! The front desk gentleman was super friendly.

Pictures don’t do this place justice. Great location, clean room, modern rooms and restrooms, central location, friendly staff. They are renovating the property but don’t let that discourage you. Great value for the price

Decent place once they get it fully remodeled.
The place is undergoing renovation, so lot of junk everywhere. Our room was remodeled, clean and nice - especially the TARs-like shower - lol. We never received room service despite hanging the sign, so it required a visit to the office to get TP and new towels. Staff were friendly and helpful. We would stay again. but hopefully next time, cleaned up better.
