    good appetizers

    It was just a perfect match for a cursory stop in Apalachicola with fantastic value for money. The appetizers we ordered were surprisingly good and memorable. Try to get a table outside if you can.

    vintage decor
    wrap-around porch
    historical artifacts
    missing blinds

    Charming vintage decor with plenty of historical artifacts displayed throughout the property, capturing the essence of the area. The wrap-around porch offers a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the ambiance of the town.

    Several issues arrived during my stay. The room didn't match what I booked, and the lack of an opaque blind made it hard to sleep with all the external lighting on the third floor. Communication around breakfast policies was a mess. I was turned away on Mother's Day due to reservation issues that were never mentioned prior. Late-night eating options were nonexistent, forcing me to scrounge for snacks at a gas station. Lastly, charges made to my credit card remained a mystery, creating unnecessary stress.

    street noise
    small room

    The hotel exudes charm with its historic details and friendly staff. The only downside was noise from the street late at night, which could be bothersome for light sleepers. However, the clean rooms and modern amenities really made the experience worthwhile.

    historic charm
    great location
    comfortable bed
    other guest noise
    restaurant quality
    renovation smells

    The Gibson Inn impressed me with its charming, historic ambiance. The wrap-around porch offered a fantastic spot to unwind with a cocktail. My room was cozy, featuring a comfortable bed and a lovely bathroom with a large shower. The staff provided helpful service, making check-in smooth. However, noise from other guests and the street was disruptive at night. I also noticed some musty odors hinting at recent renovations. The hotel restaurant had mixed reviews — I heard from staff to avoid it, opting for local seafood instead. Overall, the location was fantastic for exploring downtown Apalachicola, making it easy to access shops and dining all within walking distance.

    Charming atmosphere with excellent service

    I recently stayed for two nights and was charmed by the beautifully renovated vintage decor, which added a unique touch to my experience. The staff was exceptionally attentive, always ready to help with any needs and recommendations. I particularly enjoyed unwinding on the wrap-around porch with rockers, soaking in the lovely atmosphere. However, there was some noise from the street, so light sleepers might find it disruptive during the night.
