Nothing fancy, but at $85 a night it was fine for us. Room was clean, bed was good, and we enjoyed the pool also. Only a 2 or 3 minute drive to all of the great restaurants in the area. I will stay there again next time I'm Apalachicola. ***And, as always in NW Florida, everyone was very nice and... More

My friend and I stayed this past weekend. When we walked in the room it had a bad smell. By luck I had some air freshner with me. The bed covering is old and smells bad. The mattresses are like sleeping on a banana. You sink down the middle. There were 4 " cockroaches in the bathroom. Stained carpet. Went... More

Calling the desk clerk "stupid" is uncalled for. Though finding any kind of bug in a motel room is never pleasant, it can happen in the best of properties. What was said is " I assure you we do not keep live bugs here". Also, the comment was NOT that you brought them with you. But, that bugs can enter... More

We planned a short getaway to Apalachicola and researched available lodging. Rancho Inn had a good rating and looked OK online, so I called to check on a reservation. The woman who answered was very cordial as we went through the process. She was also helpful with some questions about local attractions, etc. We arrived around check-in time, completed the... More

Although a little way out of town, this motel suited us just fine. The room was spacious with a king bed, a nice counter in the sink area where we could put our stuff, a separate shower/tub and toilet area. The pool out front is nice. There is also a microwave and a small fridge. Pretty good for the amount... More

The Rancho Inn is a family owned and operated hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Their rooms aren't fancy but they are very clean and comfortable, and with free wireless internet, a refrigerator, microwave, and a swimming pool, there wasn't really anything else we needed during our weekend visit. My fiance and I went to Apalachicola for the Annual... More

A year ago I had to handle some important family business in Apalachicola. I read one review about the motel, the fact that it is dog friendly and the woman that owns the motel Mary Lynn Rodgers and decided to call. When I arrived extremely late she had already made arrangements for me to be able to get into my... More

When you 1st pull up to this hotel, you notice right away that it's an older hotel. However, the minute you walk in the door, you realize it's as nice & clean as the finer chain hotels with all the bells & whistles. The employees are friendly, and go above & beyond on customer service.In addition to their excellent hospitality,... More

glad that we did, arrived early eve after a long drive. The owner checked us in after insisting we looked at the room, which was huge, king size bed and very clean. We ate a reasonably priced meal at the Red Roof cafe next door and got our supplies from the petrol station opposite. Then spent an enjoyable evening at... More
