Can't rate the property because we were scheduled to stay there in the middle of January (after the devastating hurricane Michael had hit in September), and the hotel was closed. The real problem was that neither the hotel nor Expedia informed us; we had to learn that fact by checking the hotel's website. Surely, someone should be in charge or knowing that hotels are closed -- especially when they are near a devasted area.

Poor management by Hotels.com

Hotel was closed and is not open. Hotels.com sent conformation number as if the reservation was made. Beware of this could cause problems.

Oktoberfest

We spent three nights at Apalachicola Riverhouse attending the Oktoberfest. Praying for the safety of the people there. We had a great time. Hotel is older but located one block from town and it is directly on the River. Wonderful sunrises. Staff was great. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy a slower pace of life.

Unique location, right one the river. The building is older but nicely renovated inside and it's clean. There is a restaurant but we could not figure out when it was open. We left early for fishing and it was not open that morning before we left at 6:30.

Decided to take a last minute trip to Apalachicola with my dog. We had a wonderful stay at the Inn. Our room was surprisingly cute, the customer service was great, very pet-friendly, and they have a fantastic breakfast.

Nothing but water right out the front door. Excellent! Room was clean. Smelled a little musty, but it is a old building right over the water, its to be expected. Pictures taken right outside room door. Recommend boat ride with Capt Skip, thats him in his boat going by.

Located right on the river from your room you can watch the oyster harvesters and shrimp boats and beautiful sun rises, Excellent restaurants within walking distance. Fresh oysters, soft shell crabs (in season now), etc.

Just not a great value for the money. An old hotel that is a bit musty and in need of renovation...the room pictures are spot on. The two positives were that we only needed to spend one night but were also able to see shrimp boats come and go.

Old Florida hotel

I love this hotel. Yes, it’s older but it’s quaint and right on the river. You can sit in Adirondack chairs right outside your room and fish, watch the shrimp boats go by or sunrise and sunset. Every room is decorated a little different. This is not a resort hotel or area but a bit of old Florida without the tourist trap stuff.

Great little place with a deck and water view!

What a quaint little place to stay with a shared deck with water view. Was a cute little place, staff friendly and helpful. Good restaurant right there with $10.00 gift certificate given at check in.. we didn’t use it as we wanted to get down the road, only open for breakfast and brunch. Found a good restaurant downtown for dinner and it was great. Would come back again, it’s not a 5star but it’s a great little place to stay.

Older hotel, very clean comfortable room . Walking distance to all attractions Ormond and Rainey house, oyster city brewing,great seafood at Grill. The whole experience was what I had hoped for a relaxing weekend looking at the water and wildlife with food and entertainment within walking distance. A step back in time into a small fishing community.

The inn does not live up to it's expectation. It shows its age, there is no elevator to the second floor. While we thought we were reserving a specific room, we were given a different room. The bed and breakfast turned out to be a ten dollar credit for breakfast which after the credit was still very expensive. The view and location were excellent. The staff were courteous.

Very quiet motel with a fabulous river view! Breakfast was excellent and the hotel staff very friendly. The motel itself needs a bit of paint and upkeep. The room itself was comfortable and clean. The outside is in rough shape and needs some elbow grease. I would stay again if passing through!

The best thing about River Inn is it's right on the river and a block from town. The Inn needs a lot of work and sprucing up. The room was clean and comfortable.
