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Very outdated inside and out, needs a spruce up!!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

Our studio room was large and well equipped for a short stay. Dining table and chairs a bonus for eating or to use as a desk. Opening windows for fresh air made the room really comfortable. I would have liked a self service Laundry facility. We had been travelling a few days and had planned to catch up on our washing before continuing our trip the next morning. The Laundry service provided would suit business people but not families or couples touring.

Unit adjacent to a very busy main road = lots of noise Wifi - very slow Some TLC would improve overall condition - ie towel rails only just hanging on:mould on shower ceiling , lighting - room very dull - and no way could we read a book : TV - no Sky as advertised: Replacement of tea coffee etc a little erratic. Hot water almost tooo hot. Mat on floor - a curled corner which one had to be very wary of. Black chair broken . An ironing board provided but no iron. No information about the motel or what to do in Hamilton provided in the unit. Off street car parking insufficient for the number of units. Cooking facilities were all that we required.

Run down & dirty
The room we had should not be used until it has had an overhaul. The walls have been roughly painted with parts missed and where they are it is very rough. There is mould in the room which is quite visible. In side the kitchen cupboards was dirty. The whole room needs an overhaul.

Disappointing
It seems the owners or owners family stayed next door and the adults were talking loudly late into the night and playing with their infant who either cried or giggled non stop and it was so loud it felt like they were in our room - I don't mind if you want to stay up around midnight but it woke our children and us up. We also saw on the hotel webpage that the family room which we hired had a soccer table and a outdoor play are or playground which is why I chose this motel - it did not have any of these things. I should have asked for a refund as it was pricey for what we stayed in and then having a horrible nights sleep for a family with young kids was the worst for us. Will never stay at this place again.
