We booked here based on the positive reviews but I was very disappointed in the quality, cleanliness and service. I don't want to sound snobbish, but at ~$150 per night, I expect a certain level and this place did not deliver. This place should NOT call itself a "hotel"--that is misleading for those of us who have traveled all over and have stayed at both. We had significant issues our first night (our room essentially was uninhabitable) and we were lucky to find help (because the front desk closes at 9pm and the management checks out) and were given a 2nd uninhabitable room. The rooms need "capital improvements"--they need to be updated, painted, cleaned and the furniture replaced. Everything was from the 80s or earlier, the sofa was filthy and tables had noticeable dirt and wear. That being said, if you have young children and are looking for a convenient motel to pile into and use a vacation base, this place would probably suit you just fine. But if you are accustomed to a consistent standard of quality (Super 8s, Motel 6, Quality Inn) at this price point, I would strongly recommend contacting a realtor and renting a house.

We stayed here on our way farther south. The yacht club is more of a hotel than most of the properties we stayed in at Cedar Key. Even though it's slightly older it's still very nice, has a nice pool and the best sunrise view in Cedar Key. P.S It does not stink!

spent time reading by the pool. the balcony was wonderful just sitting enjoying the view and a drink. the ammenities were impressive for such a small town.this is the first hotel i stayed at in cedar key with a gym plus so many other facilities on the grounds. the island room restaraunt which is on the grounds had the best eggs bendict i have ever eaten. me and my sister from new york state had the best time!! the staff was also very accomadating!

We checked into Cedar Cove stressed from our workdays and quicky unwinded. The staff went out of their way to accomodate us by switching to a room without stairs and did so with a friendly smile. the room was clean and comfortable. modern in decoration. we loved the gulf coast view and was mesmerized by the sunrise. pool was well kept and they have a restaurant that is one of the best i've ever eaten at. Cedar Key was different from anywhere i ever vacationed with it's warm welcome and rich history!! very unique place to get away from it all. i hear they have seafood festival every October, but i missed it by two weeks. I am already planning a trip back and will stay at Cedar Cove Beach and Yacht Club again!
