"•No towels in the room upon checking in- after calling, they delivered them in a plastic bag hanging on the door, as I was out for dinner. •I found two dried up pieces of jalapeño on the carpet. •coffee pods only- no tea bags… •The shower was cold and the shower fixtures difficult to work, as to whether you were turning it to hot or cold, rain shower head just dribbled water- a very chilly shower, not very pleasant. • The tv volume was locked at a very low volume. • The decor was pleasant , the location central to the shops and restaurants, easily walkable , the a/c worked very well, and the bed was comfortable with nice pillows. •The price was a little high for what you get, but I might try it again another time • Appalachicola is a wonderful little town with great history, and friendly locals. Better to stay here than St. George Island."
