Cedar Lodge Inn

You definitely get what you pay for. I stayed here on a road trip on my way to Seattle and I was expecting something better than it was. The place looks so cute and quaint online and the reviews were pretty good. It’s in the sketchy part of Medford and the people staying/​living in this hotel are super sketchy. I did not feel completely safe when I stayed so I wouldn’t recommend this place. There are a lot of prostitutes and drug dealers walking around. Also, the room wasn’t clean. The people who work here are pretty nice though and that’s the only reason why I’m giving it two stars. Stay at Motel 6 instead!

The rooms were what you’d expect from a motel. Cleaner than most, and perfectly comfortable for what it is.
The staff was fantastic. We showed up at night, and Cameron took care of us. He’s friendly and professional, without being stale – honestly one of the best customer service employees I’ve ever come across. Every person we interacted with after that was quite good as well. The entire staff was friendly and accomodating. I went for ice, but the front desk person was with another customer. The maintenance guy offered to get me a bag of ice. The lady at the breakfast area was equally nice, as was the housekeeper.
Without the staff, this place is a pretty average motel, better than a Motel 6. But the employees made it a 5 star experience.

Booked this hotel through the travel app on my Windows phone. Great experience with check in as a result. Room was pretty clean, but did find a cheeto on the floor. Older furnishings and bedspreads but sheets we’re sparkling clean and the bed & pillows were comfy. We didn’t get one of the remodeled rooms. The sink had big cracks in it, and the floors had a lot of old cigarette burns. Pool wasn’t clean, and there was a walker in the bottom of it. (Keepin’ it classy, folks!) The breakfast room was big, with a large selection of breakfast carbs, with fresh fruit. Nice that there was both cream cheese and peanut butter for a bit of protein. Disappointed to see a lot of styrofoam and plastic use. Compostables are widely available and are not expensive. Coffee wasn’t too bad, and they had a little coffee pot in the room as well. Jadean in the office when we checked out, was very helpful, pleasant and hospitable. The breakfast room attendant had a terrible cough and had his dog in the room. It was a bit disconcerting.

I read the reviews before booking.
I came to one conclusion, those who have given anything more than one star are on dope like all the other permanent residents of this hotel.
I really should of switched hotels but I knew it would be a hassle getting a refund then spending more money at a clean dope free hotel.
The first clue that this was going to be bad is when I see a BBQ by the room. I travel for a living and have learned that this a sign of a cheap nasty hotel that allows the people to live there.
My daughter arrived hours before me, checked into her room and was gagging of the smoke smell in the non smoking room. I got to my room, same damn thing. Why have non smoking rooms and smoking room next to each other.
Seeing how people live there, it means friends come over to party outside till midnight.
As for it being clean, my room was better than my daughters, she even took a shower in socks. MOLD MOLD MOLD.
As for me, my socks are black from the floor and that was only getting up to walk to the bathroom.
Please pass on this hotel.
James, you are a really nice guy, you belong in a better place.

Honestly, for the price – can’t complain. James, who was working the front desk, was very helpful and had great customer service. Clean, spacious, heater warms up the room fast, cable, big bathroom. Free wifi, and continental breakfast! I’m a happy camper. :)

I love it here! The lady and her lil girl fixed everything for us. Its just $ 31 a night with free breakfast, a large room with a very nice bathroom, a laundry room, and a pool (though its under renovation for now). Still, I’ll definetely be back.

They have most of the simple amenities I look for in a cheap easy motel. A microwave, coffee maker, safe, lots of sockets, and free wifi! BUT it’s in a pretty dull part of Medford so be ready for it to look the 1 ½ — 2 star rating.

When I arrived on a Saturday evening they said they didn’t have my reservation in the system (even though I was looking at the confirmation email on my phone as I stood there). They were not full, so they found a room for me and I unloaded the car while the Medford cops interviewed several people in the parking lot about an altercation that just happened at the hotel. Not a good start to the evening
I walked into the room and I was hit by a strong smell. I think it may have been from some kind of very strong chemical cleaner. It was overpowering. There were only two small lights — one by each bed — and one of the lights didn’t work because the cord ended in a mess of frayed wires. I went and read my book in the bathroom where I could actually see the words on the page.
Throughout the evening and well into the night the guy upstairs was yelling and cursing and I could make out every word. At one point a drunk guy was hollering outside nearby, and later I heard what sounded like a woman gagging or throwing up right outside my door.
This place was affordable, I’ll give it that, but I guess this was a lesson in «you get what you pay for.»

If you needs cheap place to stay in Medford, this is ok but it fits the definition of a one star. It lacked the nice touches like batteries in the tv remote, the non smoking room smelled of smoke and we had to wait a while for some one to show up to the font desk to check in, after waiting till after 5 fir our room to be ready. The staff was friendly though and walked over with batteries. From the looks of these guys, I’m sure they could hook you up with other things too if you asked. There are people living here too, which gives it a ghetto vibe too. You get what you pay for. On the plus side, it is right on the I-​5 but with the doors closed, the noise is not too bad.

$ 43-​$ 52/​night.
On our trip up to Seattle from the Bay Area, we decided to stop just past the border of CA/​OR in Medford, OR. My friend had randomly booked this place based on its review on Kayak (which rated this place pretty well for its price).
We arrived here at about 4am — had to call to manager to come give us our keys (as instructed on the door). Waited about 5 minutes, and was greeted cordially. We told him that there were 3 of us, and on this note, he gave us a larger room than what we actually booked for at a lower price! (We booked the room originally for $ 52, but he gave us a bigger room for $ 43!). That was awesome.
The room itself was definitely big — 2 queen size beds and very spacious, with all the basics that you need to get through a night (one sink, microwave, bathroom, desk).
Room is decently cleaned. The water and heater warms up quickly.
— — — Greatest Highlights — — — -
–FREE WI-​FI and lots of outlets in the room.
— Homey, mom-​and-​pop. (Always nice to support local businesses, right?!)
— $ 43/​night
— Very pleasant workers (we were supposed to check out by 11am, but having woke up a lil later due to checkin in über late, I called to ask if we could check out by 12. The guy that picked up was very chippy and with his enthusiastic «Good morning!» was very chill and replied with a «Of course! No problem!»
So ya, all in all, it isn’t the Ritz, but hey — for the middle of no-​where and just $ 43/​night, it’s all good to me!

I usually am happy with just about anywhere I stay, but not this place. We stayed here one night in the summer of 2007. The rooms were small, dark, and very old. The electric sockets were falling apart! There was a Chinese restaurant in the parking lot, which we thought might be OK for eating, but there was a creepy lounge/​bar tacked onto the restaurant.
The area of the motel was creepy as well, as that part of Medford was dark. The only plus for some might be the shopping mall nearby. Otherwise, I don’t recommend this motel, unless you want to see yourself get what you pay for in terms of a cheap motel.
