Beautiful historic hotel in the picturesque town of Apalachicola. The room was beautifully decorated with a huge bathroom and tv and coffee machine. The staff were lovely and a special mention should go to Kassidy on the front desk who was so helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time in Apalachicola putting together a detailed list of all the best things to see and do. We managed to fit almost everything in the 3 days we had there. Particular highlights were the coffee and chocolate shop, the beach which is about 15 minutes away by car, the botanical gardens and veterans garden and also the owl cafe. We used the free bike rental to go and explore the areas around the centre and it really is a beautiful place.

The design of the shower caused water to leak onto the floor.

Like the old time feel, dinner meal was very good.

I have traveled extensively in my working years (now retired), and stayed at the best and sometimes not 4 or 5 star. I was shocked to find that if your guest arrives early or plans to arrive early, you charge to get into the room earlier than check-in time. NEVER have I experienced this. If this room was ready and I was early, they would allow me to check in. If not, no problem because I realize I was early. But to charge for a room that might be ready and not let the guest check in is just nickel and diming people, in my opinion.

The location was perfect. Within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. The nostalgia and decor was amazing. Staff were very helpful and friendly. People in the town were also very friendly.

It was during winter, so it was VERY cold and the bathroom struggled to get even a little warm. Solid marble for floors, walls, and countertops. The tub was steel, so it took FOREVER for the water to warm up and to stay warm/hot. The tub was also VERY small. They should add a few soaking tubs to some of their rooms. And better pillows would be nice. The pillows were a bit firm. The restaurant at the Inn was out of a lot of food items, so choices were limited. The grits could definitely use some help, too watery.

We evacuated from Tampa during Milton and found our stay delightful. A hidden gem in Appalachicola.

One room was street level while the second room was inside the main building on the third floor. My daughter and son-in-law heard cackling and strange singing the first night; it sounded like it was coming from the wall behind the bed. My son-in-law investigated the next morning, but found no adjacent room, only the outside of a brick wall. Very strange! No voices heard the next night.

Over-priced for what it is, which is an oasis in an economic wasteland. They send too many text notifications to check-in etc, and after you have spent time doing that, they make you do it again anyway. I hate being nickel and dimed, and I felt that was going on here, even though it is an expensive hotel to start with and has no competition for miles.

Get the breakfast right and make it 20% cheaper. Keep the bar open after 9pm. Stop forcing everyone to check-in on line before forcing them to check in for reals a second time.

The food at The Gibson Inn is very good. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The Gibson Inn has loads of character and the rooms are very comfortable. We stayed over Thanksgiving and the buffet lunch they provided was excellent. Location, Apalachicola, is great and has lots of character too. Great shops and restaurants. It's very near to St. Georges Island which is lovely and well worth a visit.

I did find the mattress on the beds a little too soft. There is some construction going on at the hotel, as they are expanding their facilities. Imagine that will be going on for another 6 months, at least.

We love this historical inn and it's creeky stairs. This time we got a nice updated room with gorgeous bathroom. The bar is quaint with excellent bartenders. The receptionist helped get our bags upstairs. There is a nice breakfast in the sunny dining room.

Our room had no view and a bright light shining in through the blinds all night long. It was so quiet but then at 7 am all the door slamming.

The hotel was beautiful! The bottom floor room had a small porch area with rocking chairs, which was nice. The room had two rooms and a bathroom, a bedroom and living area. The furnishings were very pretty. The location was great! You could walk everywhere. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It's only 11 miles to St. George Island. The food at the hotel was nice. All the restaurants we ate at were great!

You could tell the renovations were new due to the strong smell. The rooms were a little smaller than I thought they would be. The pictures of the suite rooms seemed bigger, but we had plenty of room.

We loved the antiques and old pictures all around. We loved the history. The bed was so comfortable and the bathroom was shiny new and huge. The The complementary little breakfast and coffee were nice on Thanksgiving. The staff were nice. The in town ( village) location was great.

The room was very small but it did have a fridge and coffee maker. The bartender was sooooo busy when we were so thirsty. The service was so slow in the restaurant.. They need more help.

Nicely renovated hotel in a very good location for Apalachicola. Room, bed, bathroom etc. good. Staff helped me to get my luggage to the third floor where my room was.

Room was on 3rd floor but no elevator. All this paperwork at the reception... some hotels require this, others don't. This one did although they also precharged my CC.
