We've stayed at the Cedarberry several times because it's the only hotel in town. While the receptionist is always polite, the hotel in general has a very old, musty, feel to it. Our rooms have always been clean, but the occasional insect or mold growing in the shower has put us off. We most certainly don't think the $110-$130 they charge on some weekends is an absolute rip off.
Perhaps our biggest complaint is the complete lack of respect. My husband, newly returned from Iraq and Afghanistan, drove 8 hours to spend the weekend with our family in Sauk City for Memorial Day weekend. When we checked into the Cedarberry, we inquired as to if there was a military discount, which every other hotel (including in other countries) has offered to him. Not only did the Cedarberry refuse, but when we asked to speak with the manager/owner, we were told "No, he won't speak with you regarding this." We felt horribly disrespected and dishonored, especially on a holiday weekend that is dedicated to veterans. We have been treated with more respect in hotels in other countries than in the Cedarberry.
Overall, I wish to God there was someplace else to stay in Sauk City. It's overpriced, disrespectful, and not exactly the cleanest place.
