Summary: Our room was very clean. Loved the "old" Victorian decor! Bed was super comfy. Shower has 2 shower heads, fits 2 people, marble floor, and gold fixtures! Staff was friendly and nice. The pool was beautiful but we didnt swim. Also has a gorgeous bar, pool room to shoot pool - with original wood floors, all decorated in old Florida Victorian style. They do not offer complimentary water in the room but they do offer it for $8 a bottle, $5 for snacks.

Summary: So after coming to visit my parents for 45 years, we sprays had a place to stay but secretly wanted to stay at The Gibson Inn. Finally was able to stay and when we opened the door to our room, I literally gasped from the unexpected beauty of the room. Newly updated and marble flooring throughout, amenities were well thought out including the snack of a Snickers Bar staring at you the entire time at $5. Not for me. But pool and hot tub close at 8pm sadly not allowing any time for us to enjoy with just a single night’s stay. Food selection was very tasty and the vibe screams, “Relax and Enjoy Yourself”. Beds, fantastic!!!

Summary: When check out is 11, don't have someone come to the door 3 times before 11. once at 930,950, another at 1025! The Checkout time is 11, dammit! I paid for early check-in, 50$ spent hundreds at your bar, and on brunch. Not a first visitor, love the place, but it's the little things that can irritate customers. All in the rest of the stay was great!

Summary: The Inn had a great first impression. Staff and visuals were very good. Pool area was very nice. We didn’t eat there but it smelled good. The beds were very comfortable. Our issues were in the bathroom. No hooks or shelves for a place to put our toiletries. No place to hang towels other than tossing over the high glass shower door. We took our first shower on a Saturday morning. For each of us the water pressure was temperamental. A weak stream was the best. It then dropped to water flowing down the wall. I was barely able to get my face and hair rinsed of soap and shampoo. Then it returned to a weak stream again. Thinking an evening shower would be better, it then only had luke warm water. Very early the day we left, the water was chilly. Those two days we didn’t shower, including the day we spent at the beach. Sorry that this is lengthy. I hope that the third floor customers didnt all experience what we did. I hope it can be fixed. Knowing it is an old building, we still hope improvements can be made with this issue. We did sleep great though.

Summary: Room was small, but clean. The bar and restaurant were good. Lots of outdoor seating. About a block Away from water. Property looks bigger than looks in pictures. Did not try pool.
