This was a perfect option to be away from the touristy areas yet close to shopping, restaurants, and 15 min to beautiful beaches! Very clean, friendly staff, great low cost option!

We stayed in a room with 3 queen beds and a huge bathroom. It all looked recently renovated and very clean. Housekeeping was great and came in after the first night and tidied up and made beds, I find a lot of hotels no longer do this. Breakfast was above average and the lady hosting was so nice. We would definitely stay again!

The room was generally clean and comfortable, though it could use more light in the room. Our big problem was that they would not give us a first floor room. We had called weeks in advance and requested a first floor room, as my wife and I are both handicapped and there is no elevator. We were told it would not be a problem as long as we arrived early. We arrived before 5 and were told that no 1st floor rooms were available. And no elevator! So, they gave us a room on the side of the building where no handicapped parking was available, forcing 2 handicapped people in their 70's to haul 300 lbs of gear up a stairway. It took us nearly an hour to drag everything us the stairs, as rollers don't work with stairs. Same issue with leaving 3 days later. Other than that, the breakfast was good. TV worked well once we changed the batteries in the controller. Hair dryer did not work but they got us another promptly. Good shower, comfy beds. AC did not work well on arrival, so I cleaned the coils myself and then it worked fine. Doors badly need some weatherstripping, as rain blew in around our door. Staff was very friendly. Other than that, I guess we could have done worse.

The Best Western Appalachicola is conveniently located just a mile or so from downtown Appalachicola. There are many restaurants and shops in downtown Appalachicola. The hotel is clean, but could use some upgrading as in carpeting and general maintenance. The staff are very nice and welcoming.

For an older property it was very nice. Has been updated and is clean and modern amenities. Housekeeping staff and breakfast attendant were all so nice. Only complaint was the hotel had no local information or maps for restaurants, shopping, hospitals or sights to see. Would stay again.

The property was extremely clean, nice pool, ALL staff/employees we encountered had superb work ethics. The lady over morning breakfast(s) was a sweet gem of a lady! And even the young lady who was able to get into the juicer machine - she personally delivered Apple Juice to our room for my husband who was not feeling well. Everything was perfect for us and we are already talking of when we can return!! Great job BW team - great job!!

Excedded my expectations
Check in was a breeze with a very polite woman behind the desk. The room was clean, housekeeping staff were actually early for the room turnover the next morning. Breakfast was actually a very nice spread. I did not have very high expectations for the place being a best Western and was pleasently surprised.
