About this property

Welcome to The Old Carrabelle Hotel

Located at 201 Tallahassee St in Carrabelle, FL, The Old Carrabelle Hotel occupies a historical building dating back to the 1880s. The property combines casual comfort with a touch of local heritage, featuring simple, air-conditioned rooms and a garden courtyard where guests can relax. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are available, and a complimentary hot breakfast is served, although there is no on-site restaurant or fitness center.

Set near the Carrabelle River and surrounded by palm trees, this smoke-free hotel appeals primarily to visitors interested in exploring the town's history and natural surroundings. It is just a four-minute walk from the Carrabelle History Museum and about 3 miles from the Crooked River Lighthouse, a notable 19th-century landmark with a museum and gift shop. Guests looking to enjoy outdoor activities will find Tate's Hell State Forest nearby, offering fishing, camping, and hiking opportunities.

With a rating of 4.4 from 117 reviews, visitor feedback suggests a generally positive experience, especially for those drawn to its historic charm and convenient location. However, the hotel does not offer any accessible rooms, airport shuttle service, or swimming pool, which may be important considerations for some travelers. Pet-friendly policies add convenience for those traveling with animals.

Close proximity to Tallahassee International Airport, approximately an hour’s drive away, and local options such as the Franklin Inn-Carrabelle located just over a mile from the site, makes the hotel a practical choice for visitors seeking a quiet, modest stay with easy access to regional attractions.
