The room was standard, but comfortable and clean. It also had a coffee maker and a rather large mini fridge. The staff were nice and welcoming; checking in and out was very easy and nice. The Inn itself is at a great location along the panhandle. The town of Apalachicola is very cute and the surrounding towns are as well. There are many beautiful state parks in the area that were not far from this inn.
