비치 프런트 모텔(Beach Front Motel Cedar Key)

This place looked like a dump. But the entire Island is a dump. There is NO BEACH! it's a mud hole. Most of the piers are rotten. We are from Beautiful North East Florida and decided to take a one week Florida Road trip, Cedar Key was always on my list. We were shocked on how horrible the entire Island was. We walked for an hour then drove around the island just looking for a nice spot.. didn't exist. Finally faced the fact that this was a wasted day. I don't see any hope for Cedar Key.. I should be left for nature to consume it.

I was running quite late and so I called to let them know that I was still on my way. I left a message so I wasn't sure. This was Spring break and everything was booked. I was staying 4 nights, Thurs - Sunday night. When I got there just before 8pm they were waiting for me. Now, this is an older property. You can see the age. Actually a lot of Cedar Key, FL is old. That's part of the charm. Beachfront Motel is close to the Docks, where many joints exist "on the water ". Then you have old town, where you'll find the only coffee shop in Cedar Key, some great pizza and the Historical Society. Please see my separate reviews. Peace and quiet is interrupted almost every evening by yapping dogs, left behind by their owner, in the room next to mine. This is a huge problem at most "pet friendly " motels. If you're going to abandon Fido anyway, leave him at the boarding kennel! Then he can yip and yap away for someone who is getting paid to listen to it. I got a queen bed, kitchenette and ocean view, second floor. They also have parking lot view rooms which I assume cost less. The motel is located at the end of 1ST street and away from the action, which I prefer. I moved a small kitchen chair into the bathroom so I could set down my coffee and phone in comfort. There are NO hangars, no closet, or hooks or ledges to set anything down, except on the floor. I thought that was strange. The kitchenette has a stove that may have never been cleaned. The thing is ancient. I went looking for pots or pans and when I opened the oven door, wow. Forget that. My room came stocked with 2 spatulas, a fork, a butter knife, and a corkscrew. 2 plates and 2 coffee cups. What more could anyone want? The mini fridge worked. The water ran fine in the kitchen sink. Also in the bathroom sink. A small bottle of detergent was supplied, for washing socks, I guess. The hot water was hot, anyway. The double sink in the kitchen looked relatively new. In some areas it appears that an effort is being made to keep up the place. The motel office is never open for walk ins. But at least they waited up for me when I was so late arriving that first night.

Run down is putting it mildly. This is an expensive dump. Our room took till 3 in morning to cool down. Linoleum peeling up in the bathroom. Outside appearance shows decades of neglect. The view is the only reason it gets a 1. I've stayed in nicer places when I was 20 years old with no money. I'm 63 and I would advise anyone to stay somewhere else.

Perfect location, everything else was disappointing, The room never got prepared for my reservation, after waiting several hours I took sheets and rowels from the laundry room and made my own bed. Trash.linens and towels from previous occupant never removed over the 2 days I stayed. Never got even warm water to shower,, The views from the second floor can't be matched, the rooms are large, beds are comfortable. Hope this property gets the help it needs.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. The woman at the front desk (I wish I remembered her name) was beyond friendly and our room faced the water for some fantastic views. Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable.

This place is no frills and needs updating but it was super clean, the location is wonderful and the staff there was super friendly and very hard working. I would recommend certainly recommend this place.

This was the craziest reservation and experience we have ever had!! We arrived at 3:30pm, check-in was at 3pm. We calmly waited in the office for 30 minutes and saw no one except for a housekeeper in the parking lot, who informed us that she was just the housekeeper. We decided to try calling the office number, at first no one answered. Then I tried again, a lady impatiently answered, I could hear her fine and she said she couldn’t hear me but she was continually telling me that they had no rooms available, I said I have a reservation so then she said well it’s not ready and I am busy with it, I said well when will it be ready? She said I don’t know yet and I said I am busy and she hung up on me. We leave and come back an hour later and then we wait some more, A person that had apparently walked up was placed in a room, okay. The lady we see is the one that answered the phone when I called and hung up on me. I don’t let it bother me because I just want the room, she says our room will be ready in a minute, one hour later it’s ready but it’s still needs to be mopped. We also have a dinner reservation to get to by this time so we just drop everything in the room because itz6:39 by now. We really didn’t examine it well. We got back at 9:30 and pulled the sheets back and noticed that they are wrinkled and they smell. Nope they didn’t change them at all. No help from the office or housekeeper now… worst ever !! And by the way the pool had green algae growing in it also.

we were supposed to be the today for the summer solstice due to health reasons we called last Saturday to cancel our reservation we spoke to Shari she assured use it was canceled today we have a pending charge on our cc the amount is totally different from what we were quoted and no one will answer the phone there

What a dump! There is no beach as the name implies. Don’t sign the electronic signature pad BEFORE reading what you are signing. We reserved 3 nights but needed to leave after 2. The bill highlighted NO refunds for leaving early FOR ANY REASON with the electronic signature transferred onto it. Place was dirty with no amenities. Cedar key wonderful but stay elsewhere
