Simple, clean, convenient.

Hotel is an older hotel, but convenient and located a couple minutes from downtown. Room was comfortable and clean, air was cold, shower was hot. Front desk was very polite and accommodating. Only suggestion I would have is maybe have an extra blanket available in the room. Otherwise would definitely stay here again. Appalachicola is such a cool little town!

Economical and convenient

No frills but clean and friendly. Beds were a little firm for our liking but everything was clean and easily accessible. Very decent price. The parking situation is a bit tricky. This is my 4th stay here and there's obviously a reason I keep returning. It's well priced, clean, and convenient to Apalachicola and St George island.

It's an older drive-up mom and pop, but it's clean in a good location. Staff was nice, room was comfortable. Well lit and secure.
