Clean Hotel, Nice Personal, Beautiful Japanese Garden with Koi Fish
Pros:

We love the Japanese Garden in the courtyard. The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom is very clean.

Cons:

We've been coming here every uear for more then 10 years now, and we remember the beautiful breakfast in the past with the pancake maker, boiled eggs etc. COVID past but the breakfast never returned. For me, muffin should not be breakfast, but just dessert. I found the breakfast spread to be somewhat insufficient. I know, many business excuses cutting off services from the past with COVID, but rising the fees we pay all the time, making me feel like this is not fair to the customers.

Angenehmer Aufenthalt.
Pros:

Wir hatten ein sehr großes Zimmer mit sehr guter Ausstattung. Obwohl das Zimmer zur Straße ging, war es ruhig. Einen Balkon hatten wir auch.

receptionist was terrible
Pros:

We were informed that our room was ready and were given key cards at check-in. However, when we opened the door to what was supposed to be our room, we discovered that it was already occupied by another guest who was sleeping inside.

This was an extremely shocking and uncomfortable situation for both us and the guest whose privacy was violated. Such a mistake should never happen in a hotel, as it raises serious concerns about guest safety, privacy, and staff procedures.

When we returned to the front desk to report the issue and request a different room, the evening receptionist did not apologize for the mistake. Instead, she responded sarcastically, saying, "I can check whether there are other people in the next room." We replied, "Yes, please do." Afterward, she sarcastically added, "You're welcome."

This attitude was highly unprofessional and made an already unacceptable situation even worse. Not only were we given access to an occupied room, but our concerns were met with sarcasm rather than an apology or any effort to make things right.

Despite the severity of the error and the inconvenience caused, we were not offered any form of compensation, discount, or goodwill gesture.

In our opinion, this is an inexcusable mistake that should be taken very seriously. We expect management to review this incident, address the staff's conduct, and consider appropriate compensation for the distress and inconvenience caused.

Cons:

Five Months of Exceptional Service
Pros:

The Gibsons Garden Hotel was an invaluable partner during the five-month production of our TV Show, Murder in a Small Town. From the very beginning, their team provided outstanding service, flexibility, and genuine hospitality that helped make our time on the Sunshine Coast a success.

Working in television production means dealing with constantly changing schedules, last-minute requests, and unexpected challenges. The staff at Gibsons Garden Hotel handled it all with professionalism, efficiency, and a positive attitude. Whether we needed urgent bookings, room adjustments, or accommodations for our ever-evolving crew requirements, they were always ready to help and consistently went above and beyond to make things work.

Their kindness, responsiveness, and willingness to accommodate our needs made a demanding production schedule significantly easier to manage. Our cast and crew always felt welcomed, supported, and appreciated.

On behalf of everyone involved with Murder in a Small Town, thank you to the entire Gibsons Garden Hotel team. Your exceptional service, dedication, and hospitality did not go unnoticed, and we highly recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Gibsons, whether for business, production work, or leisure travel.

As above.
Pros:

Clean

Cons:

The “ queen” bed was really a double bed and front staff insisted it was a queen.
Front staff checking us in were cold and unfriendly for a room over $300/ night. We felt like we inconvenienced them for basic questions.

Lovely stay for a family, kids love the pool
Pros:

Close to the ferry, ideal for a quick trip from the mainland. We swam every day and it was quiet so we had a private pool and hot tub. The garden is so lovely, it is well maintained. Staff is friendly. We stayed in the executive suite which has nice wooden floors mostly, a full kitchen, king bed, dining table, couch, etc. very spacious. I would stay at Gibsons Garden hotel again.

Cons:

You can get unlucky with loud neighbours, as the floors are creaky, it’s not a new building.
Close to the main road, lots of traffic. Shower in executive suite could be better.

If you are expecting a “view”, ask for it when you check in. Beautiful Garden
Pros:

Beautiful garden. Bed was comfortable. Room was reasonably clean. The one woman on duty at check in was busy, but kind and pleasant. I really must compliment her.

Cons:

Property advertised a view, but there is no view. When asked, staff explained that the view is of the Garden in the courtyard, which we could not see because our window looked back on the over flow parking. Black mold in the shower. Dated — however, it is obvious that someone is putting significant effort into the upkeep of the older hotel. Sheets were rough to the touch, but the bed was comfortable. In the scope of reality, this is still probably one of the better/more popular choices in the area, given that the line to check in was long.
