Return visitor to Cedar Lodge. Never disappoints. Rooms clean, tidy, warm, and spacious. Staff always friendly and welcoming. Always impressed with how quiet it is, particularly given location next to SH1.

Cleanest motel I’ve ever stayed in! Bathroom is a bit old fashioned. Had two arm chairs not a couch like I was expecting.
