Hotel's Favourite
A few years back I had reservations and problems with the previous owners. Last year I decided to try again and was pleasantly surprised that there were new owners. That trip was excellent as was this last experience. New owners, new management, and a very happy customer!

This motel is just what you expect for a Best Western, clean, quiet, reasonably priced, with a good breakfast. It is not fancy, but the price isn't either. Check-in was easy and friendly, and although I saw no masks anywhere, they did have a barrier at check-in. We particularly like the ability to park right outside of our door, which makes loading and unloading very easy. The breakfast is quite good for a motel, and Donna makes it more special by greeting you and constantly ensuring that everything is clean and well stocked. She's a gem, and every Best Western needs someone like her. The Apalach Inn is our go-to place for our yearly visit to Apalachicola.

Upon arrival I noticed there were two floors with no elevator, I had a lot of baggage to bring to the room so I requested a lower floor they said they did not have any available however the front desk was accommodating and said they would try to get me into a lower floor the next day.
When I get into the room the bathroom fan was running and there was a very overbearing scent of some type of fragrance almost trying to cover up odors. I stayed for four nights and every now and again there was a smell of urine in the room I’m not sure if it was the carpets but I think that’s what the heavy fragrance was that they were trying to cover up. The bathroom had no shower curtain. I couldn’t use the refrigerator because it was warm and I didn’t know how to turn it on. The room was very clean which is a super plus for me. The pillows were not very comfortable but I always bring my own. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was typical. The hotel was a little bit noisy with the guests coming and going and slamming doors and car alarms going off. the rooms could use a little more updating the furniture and television set was fairly old. Overall the staff was friendly the room was clean and parking was ample.

Hotel was clean, comfortable beds, rooms renovated, location convenient with lots of parking and a nice pool. The breakfast attendant, Donna, was exceptional, keeping an eye on the inventory levels, making recommendations, and cleaning up after each guest vacated their table. We have 60 hotel nights this year, mostly in three star hotels with breakfast, and Donna was by far the best. My only recommendation is that I would like to see a better selection of cereals, maybe corn flakes and Raisin Bran. Otherwise, about as good as it gets at this price point and hotel level.

Out of the three Best Westerns that we stayed on for our road trip down to the Florida panhandle this was stars above the rest. Right from the beginning the staff was so friendly and helpful. I didn't realize it was an outside access hotel and the front desk staff switched us to a ground for room since we had several young children and we didn't want to carry all of our items upstairs. Very secure and nice location. Quick 20 minute access to nearby St George Island and the staff was also friendly to give us several tips and information about the island. Close to a CVS and other downtown attractions. Hotel room was very nice and modern. There was some caulking and ceiling wear in the bathroom but honestly as long as there's no bugs and the room smells and looks nice I never complain. Breakfast was also over the top and the lady was so friendly and helpful. Very small and nice motel. Would definitely recommend again and if you were going to state George Island this is an awesome place to stay. It sure beats the parking difficulties with all the other small ends in downtown area.

Able to park in a spot next to our room door which made getting our things in and out of the room very easy. Loved the look of the modern bathroom. Toilet had features to make it easy for a mobility challenged person to get on and off safely. Large shower chair with side extending beyond the tub to transfer easily. (photos included)

As a Best Western rewards member we’ve seen many of different places. Unfortunately this one at the Forgotten Coast needs some face lift. Nothing to complain about cleanliness or the friendliness of the staff, but reception, rooms, breakfast area, outdoor pool should have a refurbishment soon, even sooner if one considers the relative high room rates. Not sure if we would stay here again.

This little motel was great for the area. Just a short 8 minute ride to St. George's Island beach and just down the street from what appears to be the center of Apalachicola. The rooms were nice, clean and comfy. The AC was a bit loud for my liking but not too bad. Luckily we had our hotspots for the internet because for some reason (maybe weather was a factor), we simply could not get it to work. We did not bother to contact the front desk since we had internet on our devices anyway. The breakfast included hot and continental options and the breakfast attendant was by far the best hotel staff I have ever encountered in the 47 years. Glad we stayed.

It's an old style motel. However, the room was nice and clean, the bed was comfortable, and the sheets were crisp. The lady checking us in was pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was the best I've had at a Best Westen in years, and the woman setting up the breakfast was super helpful. We've stayed at other hotels in the area, but this will be our go-to from now on.

This hotel is right on highway 98. It is a walk-up. The AC is regulated on the unit and not on a wall thermostat. Bed was comfortable. The bathroom (toilet.tub area) is very small. Sink out side the toilet/tub area is a plus. There was a light bulb out in the vanity area and the sink and tub drained slowly. We were given keys to a room that was occupied, a bit unsettling.
