Coombs Inn & Suites

There is no staff at this property so they work off a mobile check-in system. However, it’s extremely confusing about where your room is located and how to get into your room.

Nice historic inn, well located for a visit to Apalachicola.

The check-in process was awkward since you never speak to anyone at booking or arrival if booked thru Expedia. We arrived and apparently all the the information that we had entered through Expedia was not shared with the arrival desk so we had to re-enter our information and we’re required to purchase a manual key at $10 per room since the registration was not complete the desk clerk was friendly and helpful

DON’T STAY HERE! We booked a stay at Coombs Inn for a couple of days. It looked charming in the pics online. Upon arrival that idea was quickly dispelled. As soon as you enter the lobby you are hit with a strong moldy/mildew smell. It also appears really run down. We went to our room and it was very hot. We called the off-site office and were told there are 2 ac units so it should be cold. I went to the lobby (which was a reasonable temperature) and saw that there is a mini split in the lobby and also a mini split in a room off the lobby. There is no ac in the second floor rooms. The control for the ceiling fan and light didn’t work, so we couldn’t increase the fan speed or turn on the ceiling light. Getting into the bathroom requires using an oversized step up. Each trip into the bath was a safety hazard to seniors like my wife and me. Several other issues like a lack of electrical outlets (only one) in the bedroom and other small items that didn’t appear to work helped make this a terrible choice. The mattress in suite 5 seems to have been from the original owner because of how worn out it was. I constantly felt like I was going to fall off the bed because of how compressed the outer edge was. After one night of being too hot and uncomfortable with the general decrepitude of the room, we just left and booked into another hotel for the rest of our stay. It was a cheap run down motel (because we weren’t going to get any money back from Coombs), but at least

Close to downtown area. Town shuts down around 6PM so plan ahead. The direct key app was kind of a pain. No staff on site but they do provide a phone number. There are multiple buildings with no map in the main house. Our room was in another house on the next block.

Location

I enjoyed the house because of it’s history and location.

We felt like the water issue should have been communicated prior to arrival. Our floors were very slippery in our room almost causing several falls.

Online key didn't work. Had to drive to another site to pick up a key card

Very hot in our room #8. Rest of house cool but our room 10 degrees hotter!

This was a quaint stay.

It was completely contactless. I had no human interaction at all, and I miss that. The technology of the Blue tooth key worked as described. The property itself was a little underwhelming for the price. I guess I expected more than I got. Probably wouldn't stay here again. I slept good, but just didn't seem to value for me personally.
