There is an A in the title. Hotel A Ponderosa. It took us less than one day to discover that this meant "awful". The food was terrible: meat balls and fish fingers most days. Soggy rice every day and chicken so tough you could sole your boots with it. Please give this place a wide berth if you want a... More
