The location was excellent. Breakfast was very good and compared well with any elsewhere. Miss Mary on the desk is a gem as is Donna in the breakfast room. The room was nicely cleaned every day.
The property is located 950 metres from the Apalachicola River. Each antique-furnished room at Coombs Suites features oil paintings and oriental carpets.

It was similar to staying at a friend’s beautiful house. Very nice but, you couldn’t ask for things that were wrong. The coffee pot didn’t work, not all of the blinds worked, the bathroom door was broken. It’s called a b&b but there is no breakfast and there is not an attendant on premises.
Built in 1907, The Gibson Inn is a historic 3-level in Apalachicola and listed in the National Registry of Historic Places.

Our room on the street was large and the bed was comfortable. The street noise was NOT bothersome. The bathroom was updated, large and gorgeous. We enjoyed the omelets at breakfast in a nice sunny room. Location was perfect to cute downtown.
This Apalachicola Bay Inn is located 3.2 km from Central Apalachicola, public boat launch facilities, and marinas offering fishing charters and waterfront dining.

Location was good. Best price I could find because entire town was overpriced hotel-wise.
Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, Pura Vida East Point with Bay View is situated in Eastpoint. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony and free private parking.
Buccaneer Inn provides beachfront accommodation in St. George Island. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace.

location is all you need to know. the mattress was worn out, but the location compensated for that
Love this coastal town. Dawn Lee McKenna has made it famous with "The Forgotten Coast" series of books. They should name a street or avenue after her. Excellent food, fun and friendly people. Be sure to go to the Apalachicola Chocolate shop and visit Richard Bickel for fabulous photography. Love Lynn's Oysters but if she's not open the Blue Parrot Ocean Front Cafe on St George Island has wonderful oysters too!!!

I loved that this little town was a hardworking Seafood town with boats, and fresh catch available at its local restaurants. It was casual in nature, and had some lovely boutiques, antiques, coffee houses, etc around the town. I LOVED that this was NOT a "tourist trap" but more of an experience. St George Island State Park was nearby and was fun to wander about. We also took in a nearby Veteran's Museum out driving one day. We had one of the most relaxed trips visiting the "Forgotten Coast" and Apalachicola. Kayaks, good. Swimming-NO.

Delightful.
Delightful. Particularly enjoyed walking with a printed tour through the old cemetery across from the Inn.
The art and shops were unique.
The strolls around the core area were amazing. The pride in ownership of residential and commercial buildings was obvious and appreciated. The churches and armory and historical plaques throughout the area gave one a very good sense of what was. Great experience.

This is a quaint working town with charming stores amid the necessities. It is walkable all about to find what you're looking for or to just enjoy. Being outside is a must! Loved the waterfront restaurants and the little candy, bakery, specialty shops interspersed throughout. The oysters were phenomenal! Jumping point to St. George Island and their trails and beaches. Carillon offered a WWII museum that deserves more attention. This is not your lounge on the beach type areas, but you can find THAT both East and West of here. Great little working town. Happy community!

We loved the town!
We loved the town! It is very "old Florida" with streets safe for walking, biking or golf carts. It is close to the beach but you have to drive to St George Island or farther up the west coast. By the way, the beaches are beautiful and NOT crowded. There is really wonderful seafood everywhere, so enjoy!

Apalachicola is a great place to visit.
Apalachicola is a great place to visit. The shopping is great and they have many fun and delicious places to eat. There are several restaurants where you can sit outside and enjoy the view of the river. We ate at Half Shell Dockside on a Friday night where we were able to sit outside, eat delicious seafood and enjoy live music. You can walk almost everywhere you want to go and our hotel (The Gibson Inn) offered golf cart rentals which made our shopping and dining experience even more fun! My husband is an artist and he set up one morning and painted outside under a palm tree. It is a great place to just get away relax, eat, shop and move at a slower pace.
We enjoyed the location, but we stayed on a Monday night and most of the town closed. Hard to find a place to eat other than the hotel. Nice little bar area, though. Front desk staff very welcoming. Since restaurant was closed, our refrigerator was stocked with a nice variety of complimentary drinks/juice and snacks.
The breakfast was very good and the breakfast attended was very helpful. We also had a dysfunctional A/C unit and without hesitation they helped us move to another room and gave us a little break on the bill. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay on Florida's forgotten coast.
Value for money
Exceptionally clean
Yes it's a little older style but the cleanliness beats some very well known 5 star hotels
Beds are comfy and sheets are crisp and clean

The hotel is absolutely stunning, the room
was beautiful, the staff were fantastic and the food in the restaurant/bar was amazing. We throughly enjoyed our stay and only wished we could have
stayed longer.
The rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. The screened in balcony overlooking Scipio Creek gave great views of both sunrise and sunset over the Apalachicola River. Kitchen was a great bonus.
Location was perfect for us. It's an older hotel but they have upgraded the rooms. The bed was so comfortable and needed after a long drive. The employees were so friendly and helpful!!
It's a historic hotel in a beautiful town. The town is quaint and very walkable. Many shops and restaurants nearby. The hotel was spectacular inside. Very nicely appointed.
