Reviews of Red Cedars Motel
Monika Faingaanuku
Style was a lil and smelt out dated but main thing for me was that me and my kids were safe and parking was right outside my room. I had a room with all the necessities and I found it to be in great location for where I needed to travel to 🤩. Service was great and loved that it was elderly people keeping active by doing housekeeping. I would book again.

This place was HORRID. I went there, and first the shower had unknown stains, and the bedsheets had yellow strains, and a random green one that was greener than the trees outside!! when i asked staff about it they scoffed, and ignore me! then the free wifi didnt work. just the finish it off my neighbour had screaming every night. do not reccomend.

This place has bed bugs. There's other reviews about it online, but they say "oh no it's never happened before". Yikes. Wouldn't leave a bad review if they had not lied - I get that they can't necessarily control whether they get bed bugs.
Lauren Corbett
Family room was large with more beds than requested. Excellent location and good price. Rooms equipped with everything we needed. Paint peeling off bathroom roof. There was a pair of socks under the desk from a previous guest. The double bed pillowcase had stains on it. There were a few black hairs in the sheets. The double bed was uncomfortable and too small for my husband and I who are both tall...
