“Shabby, Not Chic”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2007
3
people found this review helpful

My husband and I spent a Saturday night in March, as a much-needed break from overwhelming work as a tax preparer and to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. We booked a room after an Internet search and were enticed by the photos on the establishment's website.

However, we discovered that the photos, showing rooms which are newly decorated, fresh and clean - are either many years old or were staged. Our room - Thee Cottage - was worn, shabby and somewhat lacking in cleanliness. Throw rugs poorly hid the threadbare places in the carpeting and the bedspread was badly in need of replacement. The front door didn't close and latch properly. The backside of the shower curtain was grundgy and some of the ledges and shelves had accumulated dust. No individual shampoos were supplied - just a full size bottle used by previous guests. Fortunately, we had brought our own.

The bay window has a view - of the cabin behind and the yard between - not of the forest as we had expected. We enjoyed the coziness of a fire in the fireplace, but only a few logs were provided - enough for only one evening - more at additional charge (bring your own supply). There is no gas lighter and, as not enough paper was supplied, we had to tear up an old magazine, to be able to light the fire. The only other heat for the room is a gas wall heater which is hard to regulate and, as it was dusty and linty, was a possible fire hazard. Freeze or burn - what a choice.

The premises also show signs of age and neglect, but the property is nicely located near town shops and restaurants and as our room was in the back, it was peaceful and quiet. It could have been great had it been better maintained. Check-out was early (11 am) for a resort property and they called our room when we hadn't vacated on the dot.

  • Liked — Fireplace, Conveniently Located
  • Disliked — Poor Maintenance and Cleanliness, Checkout too early

“Not a great choice”

We stayed at the Cedar Street Inn the weekend of 3/26/2006, and several items were not working in the cabin: such as the gas heat and toilets. The cabin itself was OK, but the stay was not acceptable due to the problems. We would not reccommend staying here.

“A great help!!”

My Husband and I stayed at the Cedar Street Inn Two Nights. We Had a very nice stay. Our Room was neat and cozy. The Inn Keepers were very freindly upon check in, We were shown to our room and also informed of all accommodations. The Inn is located within walking distance to all shops and resturants. Upon our departure we ran into a little car trouble and The Owner, Herb called a local Tow company for road side assitance. The tow company informed us that a jump would cost $65.00, when Herb was informed about the cost he without hesitant offered his AAA card. We were very greatful. We can't thank him enough and all the Staff who helped us. Its nice to know there are still people who care. We will definitly visit again.

“Very disappointing :(”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2006

We would advise you to stay somewhere else. These innkeepers are really only interested in your money and have no desire to interact with the public. They are not friendly, they don't greet you upon arrival, and they don't care how your stay is. They have passive-aggressive signs in the rooms reminding you that virtually everything comes at an additional cost. All this at premium prices. A huge disappointment. Idyllwild is a charming village full of interesting people, shops, and restaurants -- and many nice lodging options. We would never return to the Cedar Street Inn, nor would we ever recommend this place to anyone.

“Fabulous find!”

The Cedar Sreet Inn was charming, clean and comfortable. We stayed in the Victoria room with a private deck area, fireplace and jacuzzi tub. The room had a TV, VCR and coffee maker and was a short walk to town. The only problem was not enough hot water to fill the jucuzzi tub. The owners were very helpful but the massage was just average.
