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.
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.
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.

Authentic historic Florida construction and design. Could use some renovation to the interior (furnishings & bathroom) but we felt like for the price the condition of the property was appropriate. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
My son booked this stay last minute. He said they enjoyed the atmosphere of staying in a historical house. It was a great price for the cleanliness and location. Perfect choice!
It’s a nice place. Don’t like where there is no human interaction unless you call another location who manages it. The shower handle was almost impossible to turn on and the garden tub handle was broken. Landscape has poison ivy all in it.

We had a large antique room with a tall 4 poster bed and armoire and fireplace. The bed was very comfortably. There was a kuerig with plenty of coffee and a fridge.
The bathroom was small but adequate.
Sadly the electronic key app didnt work and we had to go to a nearby hotel to get a key card. Also sadly on a hot day the ice machine was frozen up. The cat was sweet.
Electronic key app didnt work. The guy drove a key over from the other hotel.
The room was not antique fancy like the others rooms. It smelled musty. There was a full kitchen and pretty big bathroom. It was roomy. The cat is friendly.

It's an old house
No hot water. Room was slanted. Foundation issue? Toilet barley flushed. The house was neat and antique, but in need of upkeep to the systems and structure. No one answers the phone after 10, so I skipped the shower I was hoping for after a day at the beach.

Cool area. Would be nice to have personal air conditioning
Unit we stayed in was not cleaned properly, water contained substancial sulfur smell (water condition was blamed on the City water issue), virtual check in was not user friendly and eventually we had to go off property o pick up a room key, Jacuzzi tub was inoperable. All in all the room was unstisfactory and it was called a suite.
I’ve stayed at Coombs Inn before this trip through Apalachicola and at the Water Street Hotel and Marina. Not one to complain, but a rat in Room 23 was an unpleasant surprise. As if the entire digital key fiasco wasn’t enough (at least the nice desk clerk saved the day by providing a physical key), we went to breakfast early only to come back to our room to find a live rat stuck to rat paper. I get historic homes and pests but deal with the problem. Find the way the rats are getting in and crapping on the end table. Just glad it wasn’t caught in the middle of the night because the squealing would have driven us out of the unit. Hard pass on Coombs ever again.
