Charming Inn
Loved the charm of this historic Inn. It is in walking distance of everything in Apalachicola and a short drive to St. George Beach. The Inn is very clean and our bed was super comfy. The room was a tad smaller than what we expected but it did not bother us.

Make sure you can do stairs. There are no elevator
We were not anticipating having to go up a flight of stairs, let alone 2 flights of stairs. However, the young lady at the desk accommodated us on the 2nd floor but even that was too much for stairs for us to handle at this time. There were 16 stairs which is not the average flight of stairs. However, we stayed one night and asked to be relieved of the following night. It was very disappointing, as we had wanted to stay 2 nights, but just couldn't do the stairs. The girl tried to find us a room on the 1st floor but there were none available. Had I known that this was going to be an issue? I would not have booked here.

We love staying at the Gibson! Such a sweet place! I will note, I called the date of check in to confirm that everything was good to go for checking in that eveing and the woman who answered the phone was very rude. I’ve never experienced that with the Gibson, so it caught me off gaurd. That was the only negatice experience though, other than that it wad amazing as always!
