Great old place with more history and character than you can shake a stick at. Clean, comfortable and quiet. Wifi but no TV, which was perfectly okay. And a good, fine-dining restaurant!

I really enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and staff was very helpful. The porch with rockers and a swing was very pleasant and we enjoyed our visit.

Staying at this historic hotel in Cedar Key felt like stepping back in time. Full of character, stories, and old Florida charm, it offers a unique experience you won’t find in modern hotels. The atmosphere is authentic, the staff is welcoming, and every corner seems to have a story to tell. The dinner at the hotel’s restaurant was absolutely wonderful and made the experience even more memorable. If you appreciate history and places with soul, this is a place worth visiting.

Spent one night at charming, historical hotel. Friendly, attentive staff. Relaxing vibe but town shuts down early, so not a good fit for folks who are night owls. Relaxation, music and good food was what I was seeking. A beautiful, quiet spot. I will be returning.

Historic property with original wood plank ceilings, walls, floors. Nice balcony to enjoy morning coffee. Great restaurant downstairs. The rooms dont have televisions but the hotel does have wifi.
