Everyone was great. But everything is over the top expensive. Just a bottled water was right dollars. It’s a great old historic hotel but not worth the price (although the room wasn’t too bad)

We have stayed, dined and had cocktails many times at The Gibson. While some complain about narrow hallways, stairs etc., these are the qualities that make this hotel so unique. MUCH appreciation to owners for maintaining the historical aspects of this beauty while adding modern features we now expect . Stays at the Gibson are for those who enjoy a unique hotel experience and appreciate the history of this grand ole' dame. Food, cocktails, shopping and site seeing all accessible and in walking distance. Apalachicola is a great town with The Gibson the center of attention. :) The Sowells

The room was lovely but the hotel employees were so unhelpful. I am a 71 year old widow. I went for New Years Holiday. My room was on the 3rd floor, no elevator and no help with baggage. I had two glasses of wine on New Year's Eve at the bar. It was like pulling teeth to get waited on. They were more interested in all the regulars. Then I sign a tab, should have looked at it. I disputed it afterward but still got charged for the drinks the couple sitting next to me had. Make sure you scrutinize every room charge, they will take advantage of you and put the wrong drinks on the wrong tab. And the food is pretty much hospital food, Marriot, airplane kind of food. So, nice location, poorly managed. Don't mind ripping old people off.
