St. George Island State Park, Florida hotel rooms at the Independent

"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"

"We had a very nice stay for two nights. We are two female cousins traveling together, one with mobility issues. We requested a ground floor room if there is no elevator and they gave us one. We were able to park right in front of the room. The room was very comfortable and clean. The daily breakfast is nice. They had eggs, breakfast meat, biscuits and sausage gravy, fresh fruit, a variety of pastries and bread, yogurt, and a waffle maker. Most importantly, they have good coffee! They have a pool on the back side of the motel. I tried to swim the first night and the water was too warm. It's not their fault because it's sitting in the Florida sun during the day, which heats it up. Amenities we did not use are an exercise room, business center, and guest laundry."

"Arrived after 7pm... No one there for Check in; asked for help at the restaurant, and Jayda was awesome ! ... Helped us get the info we needed to get into our Villa."

"The Franklin Inn is a frequent go to. The staff is always welcoming and helpful. This is a convenient, clean, maintained, and reasonable stay."
