We have stayed, dined and had cocktails many times at The Gibson. While some complain about narrow hallways, stairs etc., these are the qualities that make this hotel so unique. MUCH appreciation to owners for maintaining the historical aspects of this beauty while adding modern features we now expect . Stays at the Gibson are for those who enjoy a unique hotel experience and appreciate the history of this grand ole' dame. Food, cocktails, shopping and site seeing all accessible and in walking distance. Apalachicola is a great town with The Gibson the center of attention. :) The Sowells
