First, as we pulled up to the very easy to find hotel, the grounds were well manicured, clean and appeasing to the eyes. Walking into the lobby, the artwork, décor, sounds and aroma all were saying WELCOME and You made the right decision staying here! Then the very personable, helpful and friendly staff confirmed it even more! The check-in process was fast, pleasant and enjoyable (Bet you haven't used that word with a hotel check-in in a while.). The room matched all else we'd seen so far. The linen was fresh, clean and nice. The room was very clean and comfortable. Great bed! The next morning, the breakfast was quite good. I loved the Texas shaped waffles with the huge heart in them. The rest of the food was really good and even more so for a smaller motel in a smaller town!

You've got your own private little cabin with running water, tiny kitchenette and shower & commode. Every cabin is private where you don't see your neighbors and they come stocked with firewood and large backed chairs to sit by the campfire! There's also an outdoor picnic table at each campsite. So cute!! The cabins also have huge windows for viewing nature if you want to lay in a comfy bed all day and just enjoy the view. The bed was super comfortable along with the pillows!! I didn't even have to bring mine from home! There's also an electric stovetop if you need to heat things up indoors. This place is amazing! Highly recommend! Also, pets are welcome! (Limit 2).

However, we were lucky with hot water, good AC/heater, and felt comfortable even with the unnoticed storm. It was nice, but very expensive. Probably worth it somewhere else and not in Dallas.

The room itself, if you're looking for a place to sleep with literally no frills, this is it. While the cleanliness is great, even a change in ownership at some point has not currently led to an update in amenities. The bed is comfortable, even though ours had about an inch gap between the bed and the wall. There is no clock radio, the decor looks like it is out of the 80's and the TV quality is not the best. The microwave/fridge combo needs some attention as well. Overall though, it's definitely worth the $70+ a night if you are in the area and don't want to either drive to Tyler or stay in a much sketchier motel for the same price.

If I could leave less than one star, I would.

Here is their reasoning: "Unfortunately since the Lakeview rooms were entered and used without the staff knowing we have to charge for the rooms and cleaning fees associated." When we told them the rooms weren't actually used, just blankets taken, they responded with "Since they were entered and linens were removed without notifying our staff we unfortunately have to charge for them." So what exactly warranted an additional $880 fee on top of the $400 cleaning fee already associated with the rental? Look at the pics. This is how they treat repeat customers, ones who were literally planning their next group trip there before this fiasco.

Cedar Cove is unwilling to work with you and entirely inflexible when things out of your control occur that require you to cancel plans, such as a Global Pandemic. We planned a Bachelor party there the weekend of March 19-22 with a group of 12. A week before going, the federal government, CDC, and World Health Organization all strongly advised against traveling for vacation and against gatherings of larger than ten. We would be traveling from several states, including North Dakota and Minnesota, through DFW and to Eustace. Accordingly, we asked Cedar Cove to work with us in canceling our plans. I get married in June so we wouldn't be able to reschedule, unfortunately. Their contract allows them to consider refunding your price should unforeseen events occur such as a crisis or a death in the family. I'd say the COVID-19 pandemic fits the bill, but not Cedar Cove. We're not even looking for a 100% refund as we understand everyone has some costs but these people were entirely unwilling to consider any refund of any kind of our lodging and activity package. Several in our group stand to have their pay cut or to lose their jobs entirely yet Cedar Cove remains committed to keeping all of our money. I repeat, I strongly recommend against giving this group any business. Jordan W.
