Great old time look like what one might imagine an older southern large house would feel like. Locals patronize the bar and it's a genuine small town vibe. Room was on the small side but quite nice. Quaint common areas to hangout in. Keep in mind if you book on Expedia it's essentially a reservation and you have to pay when you get to the hotel.

Good check-in, room spacious.nice bar, comfortable bed. But half the dresser drawers couldn’t open, micro-closet space. Restaurant servers ignored us and others; food cold. Room was not cleaned, wet, used towels were left behind. Took 15 minutes for shower water to get hot.

Historic charm and enjoyed the small downtown convenience. We felt the seating in the room was uncomfortable and could not control the room temperature.

Nice old Inn in Apalachicola

This is a quaint inn located in Apalachicola, Florida. Yes, it is as old as they say it is, 1907, which is a significant part of its charm. The room was spacious and clean; the bathroom was updated with tile and new fixtures. Some items you may want to know about the inn. There is no elevator; if you have a room on the third floor, it is a small, skinny staircase to go up. The staff did offer to bring up or bring down the luggage. The bar downstairs was fun. Happy Hour has $2 off cocktails. We did order the filet. I did not read the description, so it is my fault. The item we wanted to order was out due to the snowstorm earlier in the week. The filet was covered in a sauce, which took away from the flavor of the meat. In my opinion, of course, others may like it. Meet some wonderful people hanging out there. we would come back and do recomend the hotel.
