A rundown RV park and motel where residents complain about pools of raw sewage has a prominent new owner in Coeur d’Alene. The Cedar Motel and RV Park sits next to Duane Hagadone’s 18-hole golf course on East Coeur d’Alene Lake Drive, and Hagadone Hospitality Co. recently purchased the 2.3-acre property, reportedly paying more than twice its market value.
