Guest Reviews
- Maria (2/5): - No staff. Dirty .
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Staff were so friendly and helpful. Great value... only downside was the bathroom was dirty, floors were not clean.
- Lori (8/5): Great sleep, easy to find - Good stay. Off the hwy, easy to find. Great sleep!
- Noelle (10/5): - Little old school motel, super friendly caretakers , very clean
- Anthony (6/5): - The owners were lovely & very quick to help when needed. The lamp was missing the button to turn it on & the owner was quick to get one. There was no TV remote & the owners son came by with a brand new one & programmed it. There are only a few channels available. The motel is off the main highway so is very quiet. It is walking distance to restaurants, stores, sightseeing. It is under new owners from when we last stayed there & upgrading seems to be in progress. The property does not have staff at night. We would like to have at least one staff member there overnight as the motel is not visible from other businesses, homes, etc. -Parking area is well lit. -To check in we had to phone someone to meet us as they were busy off the property. -The room is dark & really needs a central light or higher wattage bulbs/more lamps. Painting the walls white might help. -Deadbolts on the doors would be a good idea as the rooms open to the courtyard. -The floor tiles were lifting & need replacing. -The bathroom was clean but the shower drain needs cleaning as it is very slow to drain, the water builds up in the bottom. -The bathroom door & frame need a good cleaning. This may be due to the fact that it is difficult to open so needs to be touched in more places than the handle. -There was coffee & tea available but no whitener, sugar nor anything to stir with so we could not use the drinks. We did not realize this until after the owners had left the property & didn't want to phone again.
- Amy (8/5): - Simple and clean
- Sherry (10/5): - Good service, clean roomš
- Jake (10/5): - Excellent stay. Highly recommend
- Lori (10/5): - Simple lodging with king and gracious hosts
- Qasim (4/5): - Dated motel, wifi is zero
- Tania (8/5): - Short stay . Very nice stayed in the suite.
- Allyn (8/5): - It was a reasonably priced place to stay for a night. Good value for money.
- Amanda (6/5): - This motel is very run down and aged. The beds were on frames with wheels and the box spring was considerably older than me. I could handle the aged building and decor if they simply updated the furniture. It looked generally clean overall and the staff were efficient and friendly however just based on age of property and decor I wouldnāt stay again.
- Bohdan (10/5): - Great little Motel!
- Don (8/5): - Close to early opening cafes. Close to highway. As advertised, but, to my mind, a bit pricey for what you get. Overall, a good experience and I would stay again.
- Vernon (10/5): - Friendly and convenient with good access to the town.
- David (6/5): - I liked that it had a separate kitchen- living room, a separate bedrooom with ajoining bath.
- Barry (6/5): - Needs upgrading but priced right.
- timothy (8/5): - Water not good. Price right.
- Rick (8/5): - Very quiet, calm place and area around the property. I needed a place to stay for a few days and this place fit the bill. It was cost effective, quiet, clean and had what I needed. Beds are definitely not the best. Old metal frame on wheels that rolls around at the slightest movement, but comfortable. I would stay here again if needed.
- Melanie (10/5): - It was late and most places were booked up. We found this place and booked it online. It was passed checkin time but we called the owner and she came out just to let us in. She showed us to our suite which was a newly built 2 bedroom suite with in suite laundry, a full kitchen, and living room.
- Ken (8/5): - Cyclists can keep their bike in their room. Friendly staff.
- Jessica (6/5): - This property was cute and check in was a breeze. Not just for me however, as I had a bunch of black ants seemingly check in too. My room included a small kitchenette and on the day I checked out, I counted no less than 30 ants crawling all over the kitchen counter. Having dealt with ants at home, I know how tough they can be when itās simply that season, but it made me feel a bit bitter about paying $100 a night to share with the locals. Would I try them again sometime? Sure, though I may ask for a room on the second floor next timeā¦
- Greg (6/5): - Property is old and dated.
- Jing (10/5): - The room is cozy and comfortable and clean.
- Noelle (10/5): - A sweet old school motel. Very clean and wonderful people that run the facility
- Carl (6/5): Ok - Staff was really friendly, but the layout of our room was strange with the toilet 2 ft from one of the beds.
- Emily (10/5): - Check in staff were lovely and seemed so happy to greet us and make sure we had a comfortable stay. The rooms were cozy and felt nicer than the pics. Totally clean. Very comfortable bed. I was very pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend!
- Ginger (10/5): - Owner was exceptionally friendly, helpful and welcoming
- David (10/5): - Kitchenette included comfortable bed
- Carlson (10/5): - I am happy I stayed here. Very friendly service, nice room, great price šš
- Jeremy (8/5): - Room was simple, but had been updated recently and was clean and comfortable.
- thomas (10/5): - Staff is fantastic and exceptionally accommodating, very friendly and helpful!
- thomas (10/5): - Owners are fantastic and very friendly
- thomas (10/5): - Owner is fantastic
- Tanya (10/5): - Good value for a stop over point on the way to the coast.
- Ineedacoffeenow (2/5): What a dump! - The place is dirty. The beds are so old that I could feel the springs digging into my back. The "kitchen" has almost nothing in it. There was a musty smell in the bathroom and the shower head was so cloged all it did was drip. That place needs to be rebuilt in the worst way!
- Tegan (10/5): - Friendly and helpful staff
- John (8/5): - I stayed at the Cedars under the old owners, and it was nasty. Now its clean and comfortable. Still very old and not deluxe, but a great place to stay on my hunting trip.
- Chris (6/5): - Front desk lady very nice
- Keith (2/5): - I found the people very nice but the carpet is very old and the plumbing toilet handle and tub & shower handles did not operate Properly The Mattress on the bed was very lumpy and had what sounded like raw rubber protection sheets and sounded very loud every time you turned over or even moved. we advise against booking here.
- Renee (8/5): - good quiet location
- Danny (6/5): - It is a okay place for an overnight stay.
- John (8/5): - This basic, unpretentious motel was a great place to break up our trip from Nelson to Vancouver.
- Marilyn (8/5): - Quiet and roomy, close to all amenities. Very good price. Flexibility. Were able to add 2 extra night to our reservation in the same room. The twin beds were a bit narrow but OK. Liked having a fridge and microwave.
- Betty (2/5): - This place should be closed. Filthy, disgusting,black mold covers the air conditioner. Walls , doors , baseboards are coated in filth . Floor is spongy, head of bed is less than 2 feet from toilet . Mattress cover is plastic so itās very noisy.
- Tony (6/5): - Older property. needs some sprucing up. Reception area needs a sweep, floor dirty. Room was simple, all the lights worked, night table has seen better days, beds were ok, a little soft, but that is a personal evaluation. Very quiet area of town. Walkable to main street where all the shopping and restaurants are.
- Bobbi (10/5): - We arrived after hours (didn't see the "check in by" times), lights were off however we knocked and someone arrived and promptly helped us! Staff were very nice and friendly. The rooms are dated and showing some wear but they were clean.
- Renee (10/5): - Friendly staff.
- Paul (10/5): - excellent staff and service. comfy beds
- Akira (4/5): - Too dark in the room, too slow network.
- A K (10/5): - Nice place to stay, quiet, walking distance to shops, restaurants and other amenities, in the heart of town.
- Lorie (10/5): - Easy location to get to and book in was quick and friendly. The room needs a deep clean, such as dusting and dirt marks/stains on door, walls, bathroom window, ledges.
- Maho (8/5): - No tissues, no light on the desk, air conditioner is not working so all kids and I woke up in 4 am as itās too hot, outside is cooler. Itās clean but ants and other insects are on the floor so my kids were scared.
- Michael (8/5): - clean
- Silvia (8/5): - Thanks for the room
- Tammy (10/5): - Friendly staff and good location
- Joey (6/5): - The host was very courteous and let me check in early. I am 6 feet and could not fit on the single bed which actually moves if you move. The AC was cold the only issue was at night you freeze or bake. You have to keep getting up to turn it off it on. Place is right beside a waste truck site or something so the dump trucks were in and out starting at 6am so no sleeping after that. Would have loved to let some light in and open my blinds but there are chairs below my window that people were sitting in for hours. Worth the but extra to go elsewhere.
- Shannon (6/5): - Not enough rooms for ppl with pets
- Cameron (8/5): - Not much to look at, but the rooms are nicely sized so you donāt feel claustrophobic. Not a lot of modern furnishings but everything is clean and it works. TV and AC were great.
- Aeriol (8/5): - Older motel with some renovation. Good quality for the price. Very helpful staff.
- Tim (8/5): - Traditional motel - comfortable and quiet, friendly proprietor, easy access to dining places on foot
- Verified traveler (6/5): - A Low cost option if you just want a bed for the night
- Joanne (8/5): - Great
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great
- Ian (6/5): - Our unit was very clean. The beds were comfortable and the staff were great. The motel itself is a bit dated. The only down side was there was a boil water advisory in Princeton but that was not the fault of the motel. Overall good value.
- mike (10/5): - Staff nice friendly and helpful
- Anthony (10/5): - Owner was great. She always makes sure everything is good.
- Mark (10/5): - Good value. Big fridge
- Daniel (10/5): - The motel attendant was very nice and helpful
- G J (8/5): - It was clean and friendly staff. The WiFi was absolute bad.
- Neva (6/5): - The owner was very helpful, the bed was comfortable, the room was clean, I'd stay again
- Harlan (8/5): - This property was good enough for my purposes. Nothing fancy.
- Joe (10/5): - It was good for the price twin beds where small but comfortable
- Patti (10/5): - The room was so cute n clean n a full kitchen for the price it was perfect .Clean n quaint.Nothing fancy but we liked it.
- Jordan (8/5): - There were, 2 men playing electric guitars with speakers and an amp, very loud directly beside motel in the road for hours.
- Joanne (8/5): - Quiet and clean room within walking distance of the downtown area. Check in was a bit of a chore as they are not computerized. The water in the room is not drinkable. Overall, it was a safe place to spend the night.
- Paul (10/5): - the bed was awesome and the staff were friendly
- Denis (10/5): - Staff is very pleasant and helpful. Willing to help in any problem. Clean and comfortable. Internet is ok from streaming but not strong enough if you need to do any work
- Adam (8/5): - The wifi was very weak and basically didn't work
- Susan (8/5): - A clean, quiet hotel close to the major transportation route. Host was excellent.
- marek (10/5): - Nice
- Harry (10/5): - This is an older style property but the room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. I stayed in a kitchen unit that had 2 small fridges, a stove and a microwave. Owner was very friendly and helpful.
- Anthony (10/5): - The owner was very pleasant and helpful. The room was very clean but could have used a bit more lights. A coffee pot would have been nice (not just instant coffee). Being off the main road made it nice and quiet and the only noise we heard was a work crew that was staying there when they were coming and going. They weren't noisy but you could hear their vehicle engines and doors. Some people used their electronic door lock which is noisy but is not the problem of the motel or it's owners. Thank you to the owners for a nice restful stay and for their advice on what to see, where to eat, etc.
- Tyenan (6/5): - Great customer service from the front desk but the room could have been much much cleaner. The price was cheap enough so i will probably stay again.
- Reginald (8/5): - Liked: Room was very clean and comfortable. Staff member at check in was courteous and friendly. Did not Like: TV noise and conversation could be heard from adjoining rooms.
- Hendrik (10/5): - Perfect place to stay
- Sriyasa (8/5): - I was very pleased with the gesture of the owner . She was very courteous and gave us ideas on where to go and to navigate other stuff around. Spectacularly clean rooms with very good heating. Don't forget to take a slipper with you as the floor is wooden and considering you might want to go for a day trip and get back with filthy shoes you don't want to go around with in the room, take slippers to wear inside the room. The room was exactly like it was presented on the picture in expedia. Thank you!
- Krystal (8/5): - It was a decent place to sleep as they were very accommodating due to the circumstances with the crazy winter storm and we stayed in a nice room with on Christmas eve with our pup. The room was very clean and lots of room. The beds could use an upgrade as my back hurt and I couldn't sleep but nevertheless it was a decent place to rest my head. Thank you so much to the Ceder Motel for everything! Highly recommended booking if you are in a bind or need a budget friendly place to stay.
- Scott (6/5): - The walls are very thin. You can hear the people in the other room very clearly. The front door lock doesn't seem very strong.
- Brian (8/5): - Caulking in the bathroom was moldy. Otherwise very clean.
- Gregory (8/5): - No comment
- Susan Elizabeth (4/5): - We were disappointed, the room was dirty. The door did not lock, we had to put chairs in front of the door. For 125$ a night, definitely not worth it.
- Kathleen (2/5): Contaminated drinking water! - Beware! We just needed a one night stay while driving from Vancouver to Calgary and there were only 2 options on Hotels.com. We chose this property because of it's higher rating. When we checked in, AFTER we had signed paperwork (we prepaid thru hotels.com), the manager (owner?) told us that the tap water was not safe to drink due to flooding in the town! She said it was okay for tooth brushing and showering, just not drinking! I was caught off guard and didn't reject the stay immediately, but after my husband and I checked out the room we decided not to stay. The motel itself looked like rundown, the 2 chairs and table outside the room door were filthy. The bathroom was the deal breaker with black mold/mildew in the silicone caulk all around the tub. We left and drove another hour + to Osoyoo. I began an online chat with hotels.com and explained the situation. They told me the motel owner/manager would have to authorize a refund. I will deal with hotels.com when I return home. A property with contaminated drinking water should not even be listed on their site.
- David (4/5): - When the wifi occasionally worked in our room, it was very slow. They need a new router and to get this fixed up. Walls are thin. Easy to over hear neighbors talking at normal volume. Room was clean and relatively comfortable, but overall not a good value.
- James Scott (4/5): - Sleep in your car
- Carolyn (2/5): - It was dingy and noisy. The door locks were not adequate and it felt very unsafe. Lights didn't work in the room. Shower handle fell off when trying to turn on shower. Decor awful. Needs updating. Very noisy could hear everybody. Slept with scissors because we were 2 women alone and we felt unsafe.
- Jonathan (8/5): - The rooms could use some updating other then that the beds were comfortable
- Karisa (10/5): - This place was SO clean!! We arrived late but there was no issue getting checked in. Donāt let the outside appearance fool you! This place was a perfect stay!
- Bill (8/5): - Good value
