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.

Very Nice older establishment

It's an older privately owned motel that's in great shape people are friendly the rooms were clean and it's probably one of the best sleeps I've had in two weeks.
