OK place. Pretty empty except for some out-of-town workmen who were sitting outside the room next to ours smoking. The men were very nice. The smoking not so much. Since it was empty, I am not sure why they put us in the 2 rooms farthest from the front next to the worker dudes. The rooms were clean and renovated and had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were the main attractions for our family. They closed at 8, and we got in at 6:30 so not much time to enjoy them. The pool was freezing. We could stay in it only a few minutes. The hot tub worked intermittently with only a couple jets working well when they worked. It was warm though.

The property was a little worn. The room, bed and bathroom were very good. The air conditioner was effective but noisy. The pool area closed too early at 8 pm if you liked taking a hot summer night swim.

We love staying at the Cedar Lodge motel. It's very welcoming and the staff are wonderful. The pool area and gym are very clean and the pool was so warm to swim in. We choose this motel everytime we travel to Goderich from Toronto.

We had a great stay. It was quiet and convenient. The room was clean but noticed the floors were dirty. Our socks were black after walking around her room however we brought flip flops so we were those in the room. My daughter enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub. We enjoyed the square, the beach the trail and took a day trip to Bayfield.

Great first impression and stayed that way. Really nice reception (Mary) made me feel at home. Walking barefoot in the room had black dirt off our feet at shower time. Time to change mop water more often. Definitely booking there again. I’d give 98 out of a 100. 👏👏

The cleanest room I have been in for many years. Behind the bathroom door is a good indicator of how dedicated the maid service is. This entire bathroom sparkled. If we could have gotten a ground floor room the whole experience would have been a 10.....but 9.5 isn't bad !

The room was extremely clean and roomy. The bathroom was newly renovated with an excellent walk in shower. There was a good sized refrigerator and microwave. Thoughtful details such as individual directed reading lights on both sides of the bed made our stay more comfortable. On the second floor a covered balcony and chairs outside the room doors made a pleasant place to sit in the evening. If you’re on the second floor you access your room by an outside staircase. It was raining when we arrived and we got quite damp going up the stairs but other than that we were very happy with our stay.

They don’t clean your room daily with fresh towels nor make the beds- was told by front desk that guests don’t like having staff make their beds. I was shocked. Had to ask for fresh towels and toilet paper. The room had an odd odour like old stale cigarette smoke.

This is a budget motel and I guess you get what you pay for. The room was OK (we were in room 39) but the AC was noisy and when we turned it off and opened the window at night, the traffic noise is really bad until after midnight. The bathroom is impossibly narrow and needs someplace to put toiletries -- a shelf would make a huge difference. The swimming pool was 90-93 degrees F, so it was like swimming in a hot bath. Couldn\'t put my face in it. The pool building was very hot as a result. A different room might have been better but ours was kinda "meh."

Very clean room. A little on the small side but that's because we booked a double. Pretty washroom, good towels, comfy beds, great fridge, but a very loud air conditioner! Wasn't thrilled with the location of our room - it was in the front and was loud. Motel (exterior) is worn, and sitting on the chairs outside our room was like sitting in a parking lot. The property really needs some sprucing up! A little paint or plants would go a long way. Otherwise, clean rooms and good value

Didn’t like that the hot tub closed at 8pm. Thought that was a bit early. When we asked for a room on lower level, we were told that they were all booked but there were quite a few that had nobody in them. So not very accommodating I would say.

rooms seem to have been renovated recently , modern , clean , there is a microwave, and fridge, one thing that was a little off, upon check-in the associate that helped us was very nice and pointed out that if we need room service to request it as they don't do it regularly on daily bases, we stayed for 3 days on the 2nd day we asked for room service , ( different employee was at the reception ) and she refused said they only do it every other day and when I said we are leaving tomorrow , she said that is how we do it here !! I didn't appreciate that specially that it contradicts what we go on the first day from the other employee

Staff was great. We arrived an hour early but the attendant was able to get us right into the room. She also gave us an extended departure time which worked perfectly for us. The room was small but cozy. The whole unit was exceptionally clean everywhere. Beds were good. Only thing that could be a negative is the tv in our room was not a smart tv. This was only noticed because of the blue jays game. It wasn’t an issue as we had our iPads. I would certainly do anther overnight stay.

The property was good for us as we just came and went during our stay. We were out most days. Only complaint was that our AC unit broke and made terrible noises in the middle of the night so we had to shut it off. We spoke to the office staff and were told we would have a follow up call from the hotel manager-which never happened. It was clean and a good location for the places we wanted to visit.

For a budget motel, it's very good - considerably above average. Nice staff, clean room, everything works. One thing to note: there is a busy road nearby, which may wake you up early morning. But, I prefer to sleep with open window and AC off, so for many people this road noise would be a non-issue.

The Cedar Lodge Motel is right on Highway 8, which makes it accessible easily as one enters Goderich from the London and the Kitchener / Waterloo region. The rooms are always clean, and the motel is within a short (5 minute) walking distance of a very good breakfast restaurant which is also on Highway 8. The motel is a short distance (maybe 2 km?) from the beach, and is alos well placed for those taking in a performance at the Blyth Festival, 30 km away.

The room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was newly renovated and very bright and clean. Beds were good, and there were actually 2 chairs for the two of us! Many motels only provide one chair. The room was very small, as was the bedside table. We could have used a second shelf on the bedside table for storing glasses, phones etc for the night. The bathroom could use a towel rack/hook close to the shower for easy access. Also, there were no hangers, just 4 hooks in the bedroom. Luckily we brought a few of our own hangers. Pool looked lovely although we didn't use it. There were lots of good breakfast options so it didn't matter that the motel had no restaurant.

The bed and pillows we’re comfortable and the room was clean. However the room smelt old and the bedding was very dated. For the price for a night stay here you would think they could afford to buy new comforters for the beds and to modernize it a bit, new flooring, window treatments and comforters to start would go along way. Aesthetics are a part of feeling like a space is clean whether it is or not…so a little sprucing up would help it not feel so dingy. No breakfast included either. Front desk staff not overly friendly when checking in.
