Not bad
The owner was very friendly and helpful. The bed wasn’t too good with my back. The a/c, my husband loved. He’s hot natured and loves when we get a room with cold cold air. Very convenient to Apalachicola, be seconds be on Main Street.

This is just a motel but it is very clean and upgraded. It is all I needed for just one night.
A good bed and a nice bathroom. A TV which was simple to use.
