Missing smoke detector. When I reported it, the clerk said that was not uncommon - people do that to smoke in the rooms. She said she was sorry and they never would have let us stay in that room if they had known. The room was tiny. Checking?

The staff was courteous and helpful. The desk clerk assigned me with my luggage. The room was impressive. It took a little while for the internet to connect but it eventually kicked in. It was a pleasure stay. I plan to return.
Room was in the historic section of the hotel.
I loved the fan. It has an art deco look.

Worst birthday weekend ever, thanks to the Gibson

The inn itself is very nice,the rooms were nice although there was a cockroach in our bathroom, we did a cousin’s birthday trip we canceled our reservation at a different inn because the Gibson has a bar and restaurant and a billiard room, we checked in and we were told by the bartender that on Saturday the following day we would not be allowed in the bar and we would not be able to eat in the restaurant due to a wedding they were hosting, in my opinion this is about as bad as it gets when it comes to bad hospitality, we also couldn’t use the restaurant on Sunday morning before we left again the wedding, I brought my issue to the front desk and all they could do is take $50 off our bill and say so sorry, we spent more than $50 on 1 round of drinks in their bar, this place needs to look up the definition of hospitality, stay clear of this place there are several Airbnb places, I would have booked one if I knew we were going to be kicked to the curb when it came to using their accommodation this id a horrible place
