Very nice place with an outside deck. Beds were a bit small, but the place was clean and close to downtown.
Love the history of this place. True craftsmanship, a lost art these days, throughout. Room was especially clean, bed was oh, so comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
We booked a room for three people and when we arrived it was set up with one double. When we eventually got hold of someone on the phone to ask for an extra bed for our son, they dumped a travel bed in the room and didn’t even bother to make it up. The bed was too short for an average sized person to sleep in and had to be set up in the bathroom! I have never had such a poor experience with a hotel, or lack of welcome. To not even bother to make up the extra bed was really poor. To finish off our evening, I went to put some fruit in the mini bar to find it full of mould. And the full length mirror was half hanging on the wall as one of the wall lints had bent down. Lucky it didn't fall on someone or they would have been liable for a potentially serious injury. We checked out after one night and I sent an email on the hotel contact form: they didn’t even have the courtesy to respond. Let alone apologise. Totally different to the large chain hotel we stayed at instead who could not have been more welcoming.
Check-in was confusing with getting key to house and room at another poperty, Water Street. All staff at Water Street are excellent and make up for the inconvience of getting keys and reporting needs.
I met some guests who did not know where to go and how to obtain access to their stay at the property. I showed them around the main house to familiarize with the opportnities.
Small nats continued to be annoying entering through the drain of the bathroom sink.
I came in one night after dinner in town and the ceiling above the foyer was leaking onto the floor. I cleaned up floor, and put bucket and tpwels under drip. I shared this with management and housekeeping the next morning. Maintenance realized a shower curtain was missing in shower.
These are examples of dissatisfiers and potential loss of revenue (repair of ceiling drip and wood floor) and guests returning, and negative word of mouth.
The water situation & sulphuric smell was terrible, even though this was not the owner’s problem. The room was fully equipped for our 2 night stay. For instance, I had to search the property for more coffee pods & toilet paper & bottled water.
Nice historic inn, well located for a visit to Apalachicola.

There is no staff at this property so they work off a mobile check-in system. However, it’s extremely confusing about where your room is located and how to get into your room.
The check-in process was awkward since you never speak to anyone at booking or arrival if booked thru Expedia. We arrived and apparently all the the information that we had entered through Expedia was not shared with the arrival desk so we had to re-enter our information and we’re required to purchase a manual key at $10 per room since the registration was not complete the desk clerk was friendly and helpful
DON’T STAY HERE!
We booked a stay at Coombs Inn for a couple of days. It looked charming in the pics online. Upon arrival that idea was quickly dispelled. As soon as you enter the lobby you are hit with a strong moldy/mildew smell. It also appears really run down. We went to our room and it was very hot. We called the off-site office and were told there are 2 ac units so it should be cold. I went to the lobby (which was a reasonable temperature) and saw that there is a mini split in the lobby and also a mini split in a room off the lobby. There is no ac in the second floor rooms. The control for the ceiling fan and light didn’t work, so we couldn’t increase the fan speed or turn on the ceiling light. Getting into the bathroom requires using an oversized step up. Each trip into the bath was a safety hazard to seniors like my wife and me. Several other issues like a lack of electrical outlets (only one) in the bedroom and other small items that didn’t appear to work helped make this a terrible choice. The mattress in suite 5 seems to have been from the original owner because of how worn out it was. I constantly felt like I was going to fall off the bed because of how compressed the outer edge was.
After one night of being too hot and uncomfortable with the general decrepitude of the room, we just left and booked into another hotel for the rest of our stay. It was a cheap run down motel (because we weren’t going to get any money back from Coombs), but at least

Close to downtown area. Town shuts down around 6PM so plan ahead. The direct key app was kind of a pain. No staff on site but they do provide a phone number. There are multiple buildings with no map in the main house. Our room was in another house on the next block.
It was completely contactless. I had no human interaction at all, and I miss that. The technology of the Blue tooth key worked as described. The property itself was a little underwhelming for the price. I guess I expected more than I got. Probably wouldn't stay here again. I slept good, but just didn't seem to value for me personally.

Authentic historic Florida construction and design. Could use some renovation to the interior (furnishings & bathroom) but we felt like for the price the condition of the property was appropriate. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
My son booked this stay last minute. He said they enjoyed the atmosphere of staying in a historical house. It was a great price for the cleanliness and location. Perfect choice!
It’s a nice place. Don’t like where there is no human interaction unless you call another location who manages it. The shower handle was almost impossible to turn on and the garden tub handle was broken. Landscape has poison ivy all in it.
