The room was clean, but much smaller than it appears in the pictures. The bathroom was very small with the vanity in a small space uncomfortable to clean your face, shave or apply makeup.

What a great place, full of history. This is a staple of the original Apalachicola. They have bikes you can use to tour around the town, walking distance to the historic district, the water, bars, shopping, so much shopping. Love this place would not stay anywhere else

Do not select a superior room. The room should have been labeled “Inferior Room”. The king bed was very comfortable, but they crammed it into a room with barely any room to move around. There was 18” between the bed and the wall, 12” between the end of the bed and the dresser which made it nearly impossible to open the drawers and the blinds were poorly installed such that you could see around the blinds and into the room. Additionally the light on the outside porch was on all night, and with the poorly installed blinds, it was like sleeping with the lights on.

Accolades in Apalachicola

The staff in the lobby was very helpful. There is no elevator to the second floor but they offered to have our baggage carried up. Also we did not get in till 8:45. The restaurant closed at 9:00 but they had no problem seating us and serving us. The food was wonderful. Great experience.
