The Gilbert Inn

Charming historic inn perfectly located near the beach and town.

Covid breakfast not good. Charge same prices with out gourmet breakfast. Should lower lower nightly rate to compensate.

We stayed in room # 10 which has a wonderful area to read and look out onto the waves. The breakfast area functioned as a good work area one late afternoon for a Gotomeeting call. I did not need to disturb family or other guests. Wifi service good. No downsides

Unique, and historical, ca. 1915? Although Room 4 upstairs does not have a "noteworthy view" (not all rooms of a house can) it was comfortable and nicely appointed. Enjoyed learning about the Gilbert family. Appreciated that each room has a thermostat, ceiling fan, TV, and the individual switches for bath lights / fan. Very good Breakfast buffet served from 8 - 10 in the lovely breakfast room. Wished we had room for BOTH types of Carmen's granola, her scones, and the egg souffle! Waffles, too. We enjoyed borrowing property's old bicycles for a nice just-right ride.

All in all, a good hotel with easy beach and downtown access. Check-in was easy. Staff was friendly. The rooms were somewhat smaller than expected. The house (and beds) are somewhat creaky and not noise-proof. We heard our neighbors creaking their bed (if you know what I mean); it was unpleasant to say the least. The bathroom was clean and the shower had nice hot water. The toilet lacked flushing power, and I imagine would have been inadequate for most solid waste. A plunger was provided. I decided to opt for the toilets around the town.

The location was perfect as you could walk to every attraction and restaurant. The parking supplied next to the inn was very convenient as you didn't need to scramble to find a parking place. Lovely sunroom to eat your breakfast. Friendly staff to top it off. Would recommend over staying at some condo.

Stayed here one evening. It is an old, well maintained, 3 story home. I could not have asked for more. Excellent value. My only desire would have been to start breakfast a little earlier. I would definitely stay here again.

The only thing that went wrong was my key to get back in after dark did not work, so I could not go back outside after one of the guest let me back into the hotel. Other then that, the place was amazing, very clean and excellent customer service, the showers where hot and stayed that way.

This Inn was quaint, quiet, and comfortable. Close to the beach and resturants and activities. We enjoyed our short stay and wished we could have stayed longer.

The hotel has a unique feel. It is cute. If you like old American homes, you will love the style. Because it is an old place, it made squeaky noise when somebody walked upstairs. (I was in the first floor.) I didn't sleep good because of that. Other than that, the place was good!

We were so pleased with the Gilbert. It was surprisingly elegant, real antiques, the décor is cool and calm. We were very restful and felt peaceful there.

This beautiful Victorian house was the delight of a wonderful romantic weekend with my new boyfriend. The staff were extremely helpful and the turret room on the second floor in the historical section was everything I could hope for. I highly recommend this establishment for the historical home, friendly helpful staff and close location to the beach and the action in Seaside. We will stay here again!

The Gilbert Inn is an old house converted into an Inn and it is a great place to stay. The room was comfortable, quiet, and the location could not be better. Just a short walk to the ocean front Promenade and to the shops and restaurants along Broadway. The staff were friendly and there are several "common rooms" where you can sit and visit with friends and enjoy the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies! I would definitely stay there again!

OK, so it's not really a quaint Victorian hotel nestled on the beach, but rather, it is a remodeled old house jammed between two large hotels with views of another hotel across the street. We checked in after 9pm and was nobody around to meet us. The staff left a key and a room number, but it was the wrong room number. We ended up waking up and startling another guest as we attempted to enter the room we were told was ours. We went to the lobby for breakfast the next morning only to be told that they are "no longer a B&B, but now only a B"... Umm, no. I would call that an F, not a B. Regarding breakfast, we were offered a stale old apple and what looked like a piece of leftover Halloween candy. What a disappointment, from the service to the amenities to the acknowledgment that they don't even represent their property correctly. When questioned about all of the travel site references to the B&B aspect of the hotel we were told by the clerk that "we're not even sure if we are going to do that in the future" and "we haven't gotten around to updating our information - it takes time...". The hotel clerk went on to say "we are under new management and this is a work in progress". Survey says FAIL... Buyer beware. Save your money - it's not the charming romantic retreat it purports to be.

just beautiful the oldest house in Seaside it was a really nice getaway close to the beach close to everything walking distance of great restaurants everyone there was really super nice cookies out for us in the morning anytime we liked it.
