If you are looking for a place to go without building a time machine. Than the GIBSON INN in Apalachicola,FL. is the place to go. The minute you step into the inn your time travel begins. It already feels like it is the turn of the century and I mean 1900. The rich history surounds you and you feel as... More

My wife and I chose Apalachicola for our first long weekend of the year and had never been to the area before. We looked at all the B&Bs as well as motels and chose the Gibson because of the location and their 3 night special-stay 2 and get the 3rd night free. We also planned on getting tickets to the...

My family and I ate there and were extremely dissappointed. The food was awful and the service crass and unconcerned. We were really looking forward to our meal together and I can honestly say that I have never been to a restaurant where every course was barely edible. Customers beware!!!! More

The Inn needs a major update all around! The electricity was a huge issue off and on during the Thanksgiving holiday. The food was horrendous. It's really unfortunate because the Gibson Inn is such a integral part of Apalachicola's history but someone needs to take charge!! We visit the area often and will not be back to the Gibson Inn.

I am sorry that this guest had a negative experience. On Friday, November 25th, the Gibson Inn had a power failure due to a blown transformer on a Progress Energy pole. This left us without power from 7:15am until 1pm. At no other time during the holidays were we without power. The staff worked hard to make sure everyone was... More

This Inn is a historic landmark in the centre of a very pretty and historic Floridian town. The rooms are all very different but beautifully furnished, some with four poster beds. It is spotlessly clean and offers every comfort. There is an excellent restaurant and bar and the reception and bar staff are friendly, warm and helpful. happy hour in... More

The Gibson Inn could sure use some updating, BUT the staff is wonderful. They offset everything else! More

My sister and I saw this hotel on our family vacation to St George Island in August and we vowed we'd be back to stay in it when we didn't have the rest of our families with us. That is exactly what we did in one month later and we were so thrilled! Literally. We toured the quaint little town... More

After reading about the murder mystery weekends on the Gibson Inn website, my fiance and I decided this might be something we would enjoy. We were not disappointed! We had a wonderful time exploring Apalachicola, meeting the other 'detectives', and enjoying the overall Gibson Inn experience. The entire staff, from the check-in desk, housekeeping, bar and restaurant were more than... More

My husband and I recently celebrated our 20th anniversary at the Gibson Inn. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, suggesting some 'don't miss' sights around town. Our room was very clean and nicely decorated. The entire Inn has a cheery, inviting appearance. You can tell that the staff takes pride in the appearance of the hotel. This was our... More

My wife and I have been visiting Apalachicola for many years. We've stayed at the other BB's but none have the character as the Gibson Inn. We did our first Murder Mystery this weekend and truly had a blast (especially since it was our 10th anniversary). The location is right in the middle of town, so it is very convenient.... More
