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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Location, clean

Noisy air conditioning, room refrigerator not working, no ice machine in the Bucc building, had to go to reception in another building with room ice bucket and ask an associate for ice..Arrived 2 hours early for check in, told our room was not ready, but we were told that they could get the room ready b4 check in time, for an additional fee of $50. We refused to pay this additional fee, and came back during their check in time. This was a first for us, a hotel charging a fee to expedite a check in.

Staff was exceptional. Polite and attentive, immediate response to an issue in room, anticipated needs, etc. It has been about 10 years since I had stayed here. Was delighted to find it has been wonderfully restored with tastefull upscale furnishings, decor, amenities. The attention to detail in the restoration was impressive. The wooden floors, stairs are absolutely beautiful. Loved the Breville Nespresso coffee machine in room.

Our room on the street was large and the bed was comfortable. The street noise was NOT bothersome. The bathroom was updated, large and gorgeous. We enjoyed the omelets at breakfast in a nice sunny room. Location was perfect to cute downtown.

The wall ac unit blew right over our bed. It was hard to get more coffee in the breakfast room. The bar closed at 9 pm and it was full of disappointed folks who were thirsty.
