The Gibson Inn is one of my favorite hotels in all of Florida, if not the Southeastern USA. You just can’t beat old world charm and they just keep making the place better and better with improvements that don’t take away from its historical beauty. We were there this past summer, and upon coming back this week, they’ve put in a swimming pool! Parking has been improved and they’re adding a second restaurant. As usual, you get a great night’s sleep because of how quiet and peaceful Apalachicola is, plus the beds are very comfortable. Bathrooms are beautiful as usual. I wish I had gotten in earlier so I could’ve had dinner and a drink at the bar, it’s always good. The only thing I do miss is that they switched over to plastic electric room cards like every other hotel…I miss the old keys! Thanks again for another great stay. Be back soon.

The closers on many of the doors were operating improperly causing door slams throughout our visit and a complaint about a door being difficult for a senior to manage. Husband who is a door guy told them of this problem.

Missing smoke detector. When I reported it, the clerk said that was not uncommon - people do that to smoke in the rooms. She said she was sorry and they never would have let us stay in that room if they had known. The room was tiny. Checking?

The staff was courteous and helpful. The desk clerk assigned me with my luggage. The room was impressive. It took a little while for the internet to connect but it eventually kicked in. It was a pleasure stay. I plan to return.
Room was in the historic section of the hotel.
I loved the fan. It has an art deco look.
