Beach Front Motel

Beach Front Motel in Cedar Key, FL. If I could give ZERO stars, I would (except for location). We made reservations for a room in October, 2023 to visit Cedar Key for a 10 day stay in March, 2024, and when I called, the lady didnt mention the damage done to the motel by Hurricane Idalia at all. We are in Wisconsin so we heard about the hurricane, but didnt realize it hit Cedar Key so hard. I called again in January to inquire about dishes in the kitchenette because we read in a review that there were no dishes in the kitchen. The lady I talked to said, Were cleaning up from the hurricane that hit here last August, so there are no dishes now, but if you call back in February, well know more or something along those lines. I did not call back in February because I figured it wasnt a big deal. We could just take our own dish set. We never got a call from the motel to cancel the reservations. We drove almost 1700 miles down there to find the motel still in total disrepair and no phone call from them. They claimed they called everyone to let them know of them closing because of hurricane damage. Why didnt we receive a call? And why did they even let me book a room back in October if the hurricane happened in August? Oh, and I cant forget to mention that when I went online to call a number for the Beach Front Motel, there was still a number that was taking new reservations, and new reservations only. And their website was still up and running and accepting new reservations also. It was a poorly managed business all around. I was so disgusted. Never again.

Heres the deal. If youre looking for a 5 star resort with all the bougie amenities and staff to wait on you at your beckon call, this aint it. The hotel is old, but not run down. The people that run it work hard to keep it nice. I witnessed one of the ladies that work there pulling weeds by hand while we were there!! Cant tell me they arent doing the best they can. Everything functioned as expected. It was clean and we felt very safe staying here. Cedar Key is a small island with a population of around 700 people. This place is old Florida and charming with the BEST views. Visiting this little gem inspired my family and I to expand our search for new adventures across Florida. Oh and rent a golf cart from the hotels recommended spot. Its the best way to get around, and fun!
