“Apalachicola Bay Inn presents itself as a clean, budget-friendly option, particularly appealing given the higher prices of downtown hotels; its rooms are straightforward but well-maintained, providing essential amenities like a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker. While some may find the linens overly starched, the consistently friendly staff and absence of pests make it a practical choice for a short stay in Apalachicola. I'd recommend it for travelers prioritizing value and cleanliness.”
