Above and beyond ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Sep 1, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is the worst place I have ever seen. By no definition is it a hotel. It is best described as a very low-end weekly apartment. Highlights: Frayed mis-matched towels, trash can that says”beer cans only”, “office” that might be where someone lives, beds that are at least a decade past needing replacement, and much more. Manager suggested he would let Travelocity know that he canceled so we could get a refund. We were there about five minutes. Now they refuse to acknowledge that they suggested that they would let us cancel. I beg the city of Fort Walton to inspect this establishment, because it would be shut down. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Aug 8, 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Place not worth the price and the extra money. Not even at half the price. The manager was great and helpful. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Jul 31, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Check in begins at 3PM, we arrived at the beach early in the day, s decided to spend the day on the sand. We arrived at the hotel at 8, and saw the property has no parking area, other than on the road, which is more like an alley way. The hotel looked more like bates motel than anything suitable. Even then, we attempted to check in. We were then told that the room wouldn’t be ready for another hour, at 9PM. After advising that is unacceptable, as we were ready to crash for the night, he owner finally said he would give a full refund. He then told Expedia I was requesting the refund for ‘not close to family’, when we didn’t even have family in the area. He tired to make it out that I canceled for my own reasons, when it was him who didn’t have the property ready. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Michael Jul 22, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bed Bugs Bed Bugs what more is there too say bite all over me ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth Jul 1, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Loved the visit to Gipson Inn This motel is under remodel. The manager, Tim makes up for any remodel in progress. Anything we asked for, he immediately took care of. We felt very safe. The price of the rooms gave us money in our pockets to use for other things. We will return to Gipson Inn on our next trip to Florida. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 2, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service TLDR The property is clean and in a great location. I would definitely stay here again. Unlike what I read in previous reviews, we saw no bugs during our stay. The property is undergoing renovations and it was clear that Tim is trying to make this a nice place to stay. It was meticulously clean, and only a mile from the beach. The condition of the property reminds me more of a hostel than your typical hotel (Think India House in NOLA without the murals). If you are looking for your typical beach hotel experience, stay elsewhere. If you want a sizable room that is close to the beach and don’t care about fancy soaps and stuff, this is a great option. -A/C works great -flat screen tv -mini fridge and microwave -a kitchenette is about to be installed My recommendation to the owner is to get some mirrors, and upgrade the towels and sheets to white. Keep up the great work! I’m looking forward to staying here again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 31, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked the family dynamics.

Fridge shelves were all broken out and bottom was full of water. Unlisted additional $40 required at check in while gentleman inferred he really didn't want us there. ##### Rhonda Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Aug 6, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This 7 room bldg. isn’t as appealing as the picture shows. If your looking for an inexpensive room to sleep and shower you got it, room comes with a double size bed not table or chairs. If your a male no worries but no way would I allow my girls to stay. If you don’t mind your car being parked on the street or beside a funeral home parking area your good. The light switch when you first enter this room didn’t have a cover, not a big deal unless you have a metal object or keys in your hand and accidentally make contact with the hot wire then consider your stay there will be even more of a shock. Really surprised Florida doesn’t have this in there bldg codes. That was my red flag, this joint is there for money only and has no respect for people. Sad really, so be advised you shouldn’t judge a book by the cover. A photo of what is really their would scare off most, half way houses in Texas are nicer ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea Aug 6, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Our stay at Gipson Inn was wonderful.. Very friendly very comfortable surroundings ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Jul 19, 2018 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities I wish I could post a screenshot of the exchange between the hotel and myself. I arrived at the hotel and the door was locked. The doorbell was out of order and there was a number posted on the door for entry. I called the number and received no answer. I called Expedia who canceled the reservation allowing me to stay at another hotel. The next day, I received the following from this hotel: "you really no how fabricate stories. Are you a lawyer. I suggest on your next stay look for a 5 star hotel with bigger wallet and they have problems." ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah, ga Jul 16, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service It is a room and a bed. If you dont have alot of cash and want a good day or two and dont want to spend 400 dollars a night this is ur bet. Its exactly what you pay for not a dollar more or less. Very nice guy and very talkative and helpful you will like owner alot. Its lack luster but its exactly what i wanted to to enjoy a day a beach sleep in a bed and go home. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mondrian South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Mondrian-South-Beach.h2190271.Hotel-Information) > > [W South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-W-South-Beach.h11881.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Orlando at WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Orlando-At-WALT-DISNEY-WORLD-Resort.h7374428.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [Reunion Resort & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Reunion-Resort-Golf-Club.h992499.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale 17th Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Ft-Lauderdale17th-Street.h11909.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando at Flamingo Crossings](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Orlando-Flamingo-Crossings.h58072517.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-B-Ocean-Resort.h5404.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Hilton-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h28591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides on Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Tides-On-Hollywood.h44524455.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Orlando International Drive](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Orlando-International-Drive.h4262.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Margaritaville-Hollywood-Beach-Resort.h10005147.Hotel-Information) > > [Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Diplomat-Beach-Resort-Hollywood.h857779.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Miami South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Moxy-Miami-South-Beach.h55553829.Hotel-Information) > > [Walt Disney World Dolphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Dolphin.h12710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Westin-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h17159.Hotel-Information) > > [W Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-W-Fort-Lauderdale.h2335216.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Fort-Lauderdale-Marriott-Harbor-Beach-Resort-Spa.h21880.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Bahama-Bay-Resort.h1056615.Hotel-Information)
