We stayed at the Gibson Inn for two nights while visiting Apalachicola and the beaches of St. George island. The historic hotel with the wrap-around porch and the restored interiors and rooms exudes the charm of the early twentieth century. Next to the lobby is a small watering-hole for the evening which doubles as the breakfast area. The rooms are... More

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful 4 day weekend at the Gibson Inn. The location was great located close to the bridge and being able to sit on the beautiful porches and watch everyone pass by, or just relax in the shade and meet other guests. The staff was fantastic, friendly and made us feel at home. We had... More

On a recent visit to Apalachicola, I stayed at this hotel. It is a charmingly restored early-20th. century hotel, with a cosy lobby and bar, and a wonderful wrap-around verandah. The owners have done a nice job in up-dating the hotel without sacrificing its nostalgic charm. The regular rooms are a bit small, but the suites are great, and the... More

The Gibson Inn is an old-timey hotel that has been renovated-- like a previous reviewer said, it's like riding in a time machine. The rooms are well-maintained and clean, the service is great, and having a drink in a rocking chair on the porch there is the definition of laid-back. The bar there is said to be a good time,...

Took the long way to get from Pensacola to Orlando and spent a saturday night in Apalachicola and stayed at the Gibson Inn. Wanted to get away from the spring break crowd, T-Shirt shops, and condos. Found the place in Apalachicola. As soon as I arrived, I knew I found it. Gibson Inn was perfect. You feel like you went... More

Stopped by this inn for an overnight stay on our way through town. Based on a review on this site, did not make a reservation (a bit of a risk, but it's off-season). We did get a lower rate than what is advertised. The front desk clerk was very nice & let us look at two rooms, a queen and... More

I like this hotel. Room was clean, a little small, but it did the job. Bed was comfortable. Wasn't too crazy about walking 3fls to our room. Other than that, everyone was friendly and we enjoyed our stay. Cool place.

The good (this is the five-star portion of my review) ... Nice old hotel in the center of town near shops and restaurants. The bar was charmingly old. The porch that surrounds three sides of the hotel is littered with Adirondack chairs and rocking chairs which make it just about perfect. We enjoyed a glass of wine at sunset on... More

My bf and I went to the Gibson Inn for the Murder Mystery Weekend! Overall, we were very pleased with our stay. Upon check in, we noticed that the toilet in our room was not clean, but after a call to the front desk, someone came immediately to clean it. Our room was clean and we had no issues with... More

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
