The Gibson Inn

This is a classic historic Inn extremely well-maintained with super friendly staff. You’ll love sitting on the veranda, having cocktails or dinner. The food’s quite good. The bar is delightful. I love the hardwood floors throughout even in the adjacent buildings which were part of the initial compound of the original owner back in the 1800s. Everything in Apalachicola is walkable and it’s a cute little town, especially if you like seafood.

The Inn was a wonderful surprise. Updated, clean with historic charms and right in the center of town. Walking distance to dining, shops and the wharf. They had a lovely pool and our room was lovely. The dining (breakfast) experience could have been better, but the bar was fun for an evening nightcap. Bonus: great oyster bar right across the street!

This was Avery cute hotel everything in the room was so nice and cozy. Great place to stay. Thank Anna Wynne

Room in new section was very nice, clean. Staff was terrible with one exception. Snarky, sarcastic, condescending. A shame, because the hotel has been renovated and expanded, but no concept of customer relations, lifetime value of a customer (we have patronized their restaurant for 20+ years). The Franklin restaurant is to be avoided. Once great, now mediocre at best, staff is inattentive (with one exception) and food is served cold and is bland (this review is for breakfast experience). Attitude of the morning front desk staff is too bad, tough luck, almost as if they are doing you a favor by letting you stay and eat at the hotel. After 20+ years, we will not return.

We stayed in this Buckhouse suite so accommodating and cute. Not like your typical hotel room. Town is amazing. We were right in the middle of town at the Gibson so we parked our car. Spent the next two days exploring the town so cute and quaint and just the kind of disconnect we needed for our anniversary.

Nice historic hotel centrally located. Clean and well maintained property, however they are going through some renovations and parking was a challenge. Cons: Handicapped access into the Inn is not good. No valet parking offered which was a huge inconvenience. No luggage carts offered (one would think an upscale property like this would have one!). Restaurant staff was great.. the menu was adequate, but could certainly be improved. Shower was slippery and no grab handles installed. No towel hangers in the room.

Our room was very clean. Loved the "old" Victorian decor! Bed was super comfy. Shower has 2 shower heads, fits 2 people, marble floor, and gold fixtures! Staff was friendly and nice. The pool was beautiful but we didnt swim. Also has a gorgeous bar, pool room to shoot pool - with original wood floors, all decorated in old Florida Victorian style. They do not offer complimentary water in the room but they do offer it for $8 a bottle, $5 for snacks.

So after coming to visit my parents for 45 years, we sprays had a place to stay but secretly wanted to stay at The Gibson Inn. Finally was able to stay and when we opened the door to our room, I literally gasped from the unexpected beauty of the room. Newly updated and marble flooring throughout, amenities were well thought out including the snack of a Snickers Bar staring at you the entire time at $5. Not for me. But pool and hot tub close at 8pm sadly not allowing any time for us to enjoy with just a single night’s stay. Food selection was very tasty and the vibe screams, “Relax and Enjoy Yourself”. Beds, fantastic!!!

Charming hotel and a quaint, historic town. Comfortable hotel and well located. My only regret was I did not have more time to enjoy all the wonderful amenities of the hotel and more time in town. The hotel even left a welcome treat for my pet which was much appreciated.
