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.

Very uncooperative management if you have a billing issue. I received a reservation confirmation that was a Grand Suite room for $319 and was charged considerably more. They also knew the city had a boil water advisory and did not notify guests.

Charming Inn and very uncrowded town

We loved the charming Inn. We had a room in the newly remodeled back Mansion and the room was small but very charming and bathroom was amazing. We loved the sitting rooms and AC was always very nice and cold. Our only complaint is room service never came over the 3 days we stayed. You have to ask and we did but they never came. New pool and spa coming also. Probably will go back
