Gibson Inn, Apalachicola

The Gibson Inn is a lovely building in the heart of Apalachicola, FL. We own a Beachhouse on the Cape about 20 minutes away and decided to invite the family to eat at the Gibson Inn for Christmas dinner. Never again! The service was horrible and the food was truly inedible. From the bland, mushy pesto salad to the cold lobster ravioli....the entire meal for all nine of my family members was hard to palate. I'm not sure how the place stays open but I can certainly say we will neither return or recommend it to any of our guests.

Everything, quaint, quiet, beautiful locale.. love the set up, porch, bar and got a chance to enjoy the restaurant too,,,recommend it highly//

We absolutely loved this hotel. We stayed in two uniquely different rooms and loved both of them. The quaintness took us back in time. PJ was very helpful with everything we asked for..directions, restaurant recommendations, etc.... and made us feel so welcome upon our arrival. We enjoyed the swing on the porch and the bar. We will definitely stay here again! This was definitely not your cookie-cutter hotel room!

If you wish to be in the center of town this is the place! In general the hotel is more like a large bed and breakfast feel, although no breakfast is offered, morning coffee is. It's a nice place with lots of local "color" on the front porch in the evenings. Interesting conversations are readily available if you join in. The service staff are friendly. One suggestion...the second floor is where they put visitors traveling with pets. If the risk or reality of a barking dog in the room next to you bothers you, be sure you settle that issue with them before you book.

We had a great stay and even had a very enjoyable (None Scary) encounter with the famous resident ghost: Capt Wood. The resurant downstairs has four star quality food and service. Loved the town and it's people, very much like Andy Griffith's "Mayberry". We look foward to visiting this wonderful little historic town again!

We found the crew at Gibson Inn very friendly and accomodating. We enjoyed our stay over Thanksgiving. The lighting of the lights on the house and the whole town. It was a sight to behold. The rooms were redecorated and pleasant. We found the bar and resturant very convient and it added to the pleasure of our stay. Intend to use Gibson Inn on our next vacation.

The staff is there to help You in every need, and the Inn has a unique atmosphere. We will go back. Thanks Mrs Pamela
