Gibson Inn

Went there for our final Hooray in the area… and was told that there was a recent chef change. So glad we listened.
My blackened fish was one of the best I have had and of the other dinners… all that I tasted was very good… especially the shrimp and corn chowder.
A definit must when in Apalachicola! Oh and cocktail and ceegars on the porch!

What a cool place. Going back in time. Located in the Oyster Capital of the United States. You find yourself in a small town with its own brewery and just fabulous restaurants. The hotel itself is quaint. A fabulous staff that learns your name quickly. Small intimate rooms. Outdoor porches surround the building. A wonderful place to socialize with family and friends. LAID BACK.
The Beach Town, St. George Island, is 10 minutes away by car driving over two magnificent bridges.
This is a place to RELAX.

Gormley’s Restaurant has excellent cuisine, service, and ambience in the elegant old Inn dining room.

I ate there a few nights ago, with three other people. The food had a lot of flavor and the sweet tea was delicious. But for the price of the is kinda ridiculous. Portions are very very small. I would expect that in New York city not Apalachicola. I was very disappointed. But the hotel is pretty cool to walk around and see history. After all it’s one of the oldest hotels in the state of Florida.

This was our first experience with a bed and breakfast type place (though this is truly more just an old hotel). The staff was welcoming and the room was clean. The porches were gorgeous and the bar area was a nice place to grab drinks with a local, old-​time feel. The bed was soft and super-​comfy. It was also fun to have actual keys to our rooms!
The cons:
Free breakfast was nothing to write her about. Subpar coffee, store-​bought bagels.
Bathrooms need a remodel– wished the sink was inside the room, etc.
No deep sleep here, with the creaking floors and slamming doors.
Overall, a fun experience steeped with history.

I loved this hotel. We planned a vacation at the last minute, and they were very accommodating. This is a pet-​friendly hotel in a very pet-​friendly town. I’ll start with the hotel in general, and then get into the specifics of the room.
The hotel itself is a historic building that has all of the charm that should come along with that. The wrap-​around porch is great for sipping beer late at night while sitting on a rocking chair and watching the world go by. The bar in the lobby is very cute and has a welcoming atmosphere. They offer a free continental breakfast in the morning that usually consists of some type of carb (bagel, donut, danish) and coffee. I’m not that picky about breakfast, so it works for me. We also really enjoyed the doggie drive-​through window which provides complimentary «pup“corn for the dogs, along with water. The parking is on the street, but it’s not New York City, you just find a space and parallel park safely for the night.
The room was adorable. I loved the iron bed frame and the classic décor. There aren’t high-​end amenities (no microwave, no coffee maker, no refrigerator), but these are not things you would expect from a historic hotel. The room was clean, well lit, ventilated, and had lots of channels on the television! The shampoo/​soap provided is also organic and all-​natural, which pleased me. There is also something about having an actual key and not some kind of swipe-​card to get into the room.
We really enjoyed our stay here, and we will definitely stay at the Gibson Inn for our future Apalachicola visits.

Ein Hotel von 1907. Man fühlt sich in die Westernzeit versetzt. Sehr sauber und stilvoll eingerichtet. Leider nur Kaffee und Tee am Morgen. Wifi vorhanden.

Ate in the restaurant, did not stay in the hotel. (We live near-​by). We planned to eat somewhere else, forgetting it was a Monday night and our first choice was closed. We found the atmosphere lovely. It reminded us of New Orleans, with the white table cloths, wooden floors, and fireplace. Our service was great. Our food was very good. We loved the uniqueness of the menu options. I especially enjoyed my salad of roasted Brussels sprouts and beets. My companion raved about the clam chowder soup of the day, which had clams in the shell on top. Our bill was just under $ 80 with wine, salads, one soup, and entrees. We thought it was reasonable and will eat here again. Next time we will save room for dessert. The dessert menu was unique and sounded delicious as well.
