The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room, including the bathroom, appears to have recently been remodeled. The fixtures and linens were clean and the breakfast was nice. The room had several maintenance issues however, including multiple large carpet stains, a very musty smell, excessive paint scratches on the walls, vinyl baseboard peeling off in several places, gaps in the door seal, and some towels were so worn they had holes in them. We also had to kill several black ants in the bathroom and even one in the bed. The staff offered to run an ozone machine but that would require us to be out of the room and it was late. We usually enjoy staying in older motels but this one had too many maintenance issues in the room we stayed in for us to return.

The room i had was older with a double bed. It was a long walk to the lobby, and since I’m handicapped I didn’t go to breakfast. There were no designated spaces for the rooms so sometimes I would be near the door to the hallway to get to the room and sometimes not. All in all, it was a low priced room and you get what you pay for.

This hotel was convenient to get to right off the highway and just a few minutes from the hospital, shopping, the downtown area and the lake. The room was very clean and basic which was all we needed. The outside maintenance left a lot to be desired. The room door lock was pretty shaky, the stairs were in need of new stain and the concrete was crumbling . There was not an elevator which was fine with us, but some people look for that. The breakfast was so-so. The front desk gals were pleasant.

The room was not the cleanest. The air conditioner was ancient, and its plug was so hot we had to unplug it. The stairway to the upper rooms looked like it hadn't been cleaned in the last year. It had papers and stuff spilled all the way up. The bathroom was nice though. It looked like it had been renovated lately and was nice and clean. Had a radio that looked like it came out of the 40s. LOL. The beds were clean and comfortable; just wish we had a cooler room but was too afraid to let the air conditioner run all night with that super-hot plug. Their ad for the lower priced rooms was misleading.

My room smelled bad. The smell of mildew was so strong, it literally kept me up. Since I was only staying one night, and barely spent time in the room outside of sleeping, I didn't find a need to complain. I will just never stay here again. The check-in is 4 p.m. That's kinda late. I showed up at 3, not realizing my error. I was told I could check in early for an extra $25. The whole place is dirty. Find a better hotel.

Breakfast spartan but decent... could be improved/upgraded given the size of the hotel... Overall ok but average value..

Everything about the Cedar Motor Inn was better than expected. I didn't really use the free breakfast, but it was nice to know it was there. I liked that you had to use your room key to get in the outside door as well as your room. I felt that was a great security feature. I highly recommend staying here.

Place looks dsted but was a nice place to stay. Low rating because of front desk staff. First impressions set the tone for the stay. 2 staff at the desk upon arrival but only one could provide any help while the other continued to work on computer. Extended stay for a second night shortly after arrival. That seemed to be a bigger deal than I would have thought. Never mentioned that we would need to come back to desk to get a new key for the same room for the next night. This time the lady didn't even acknowledge i was there till she finished on computer, then turned and went to back desk to get a drink and then was able to help me. Customer service did not seem to be a top priority for her. Get past the front desk and over all was a good stay.

The air conditioner in our room was older and although it worked great, There was no knob on the temperature control so you could only turn it from low fan to low or high air but could not control the temperature. Even on low, it was very cold. Turn it to fan though and the room got stuffy.

This hotel got as high as a 3 only because the staff was so kind and helpful. The room was not clean, we walked in and it was 91 degrees on a 70 dress degree day, and the air conditioner was so loud we couldn’t run it while trying to sleep. My husband’s words… it sounded like a dying walrus. I understand that the hotel is under new ownership recently and it may get better in the future. To anyone on a strict diet, the breakfast offered contained no protein at all on Friday morning. I admit we did not check the other mornings. There was a table on one side of the bed only. Since my husband and I both use CPAPs, this was less than ideal. One side of the bed had only one outlet available. We had to purchase an extension cord to charge my phone and use my CPAP.

I will say the staff was helpful and came relatively quickly to fix the heat issue, but we would have like to sleep with the air on.

Extremely outdated. The pictures highlighted in the booking are for the “renovated side” which we were unaware of. There were holes in the walls in both the main room and the bathroom. The ceiling tile next to the AC unit was stained and needed replacing. The breakfast was extremely weak. Consisted of majority cereal and toast. When we brought up these concerns we were met with minimal care.

The fridge in our room was not working and so we lost some food night 1 before we realized it was not getting cold even on the highest setting. The fan in our bathroom also did not work, and squeaked extremely loudly and continuously whenever the bathroom light was on. Our flyer upon check in said to tell the front desk if we needed new towels or needed dirty ones picked up. We did so two nights in a row and our towels didn't get picked up for 3 days. We have stayed at cedar motor inn many many times and it is a comfort to us! But this wasn't our best visit!
