The rooms smelled of animal faeces, a toilet was not secure to the floor, there was something on a headboard that looked like dried faeces, there was cable ties holding up the shower head. It took a whole can of oust to just make it bearable to stay as we were there for a funeral in hamilton and had limited funds. Everything was out dated and worn or broken. I think they should be shut down!! Need I say more?

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

Good with some exceptions

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room could have done with a little up dating and maintenance. There was no shelves in the fridge door, so we had less room in the fridge as we had to lay the milk and juice bottles down in the fridge. The kitchen cupboards only had undercoat pain on them and in places the wallpaper was peeling. The room had no wifi, as the wireless didn't reach our room, so we had to stand outside to use our devices. The room was warm and clean and was quiet. We had a good stay, thank you.

I was placed in a room facing the road, which turns out to be a 4-lane highway. The room had no soundproofing so I was kept awake by the sound of heavy trucks and boy racers driving up and down the road for much of the night, which probably accounts for the low price. Other rooms don't face the road and would not have the same problem. The staff were pleasant. The room was clean and spacious, with a dining table and a separate kitchen. The bed was comfortable, and the extra pillows came in useful for covering my head so I could get some sleep.

Rip off merchant

We arrived at hotel, which we booked through Expedia NZ, (about 10mins before we arrived.) Before we even got to see the room we queried if in fact the room had air conditioning. He advised it did not. We said that we really needed air con and were not happy to stay there without it. He did not offer a fan or anything else, but stated that as we had booked through Expedia, and he had not received the money as yet, that we would need to contact them for our refund, which we did immediately. We are now being told by Expedia that they spoke with the manager and he advised them that we could not get our money back, which is a total lie!!! We would have reconsidered staying there if we knew we would lose all of our money, which we have now done.

Very outdated inside and out, needs a spruce up!!

Great location, but when arrived wished we had spent a little more and perhaps booked the motel across the road which was a bit more up market. The Ceder lodge is very out dated and could with a big makeover. we booked 2 rooms one foe ourselves and one for our friends, it was a bit embarrasing as our friend studio had a very uncomfortable bed, so they didnt sleep well. It was clean & tidy but very basic!
