One of our favorite places to stay !!
Pros:

Always a favorite place for us to stay !
We love sitting on the porch and watching the boats come and go.

Cons:

The unit we stayed in this time could’ve used a few more utensils and the couch had a sour smell.

beautiful stay in Apalachicola
Pros:

Beautiful large screened porch for watching the river and birds. The unit was huge, very clean, full kitchen, washer and dryer. It was much better than I had anticipated from photos and reviews.

Really nice place with a beautiful view
Pros:

Location and room were great.

Cons:

I didn't reserve a handicap room but that's what we were assigned. Would have preferred a regular room as the handicap bathrooms didn't have any storage space for toiletries, even in the shower, especially the one off the bedroom. Also, why the separate "resort fee"? Hotel didn't provide anything extra to justify it. Either eliminate it or add to the room rate.

Hotel with Boat slips - walking to downtown and 20 min. boat ride to St. George Island
Pros:

All Boaters, this is a great Hotel with Boat slips when you make a stop boating around Florida. We came with our 38 foot boot and no problem. Front desk check in is super friendly and from here you can boat around St. George Island and if you like explore downtown Apalachicola by foot.

Relaxing Trip
Pros:

I’ll never stay anywhere else when I’m Apalachicola. For a couple with different sleep habits it’s worth the little extra money to have a bedroom separate from the living area, a kitchen and such a relaxing screened patio on the river to relax at while waiting for them to wake up!
