We liked the historical feel of the hotel combined with clean, really upscale new rooms in the addition. The pool was nice to have as an option to the beach at St. George. The bar and the Franklin cafe were excellent for dinner. It was also in the heart of Apalachicola. Definitely recommend!

The Inn was a wonderful surprise. Updated, clean with historic charms and right in the center of town. Walking distance to dining, shops and the wharf. They had a lovely pool and our room was lovely. The dining (breakfast) experience could have been better, but the bar was fun for an evening nightcap. Bonus: great oyster bar right across the street!
