Very clean, updated bathrooms, great shower. I am a diabetic and forgot to bring a snack for late night in case my sugar dropped. The Inn did not have even a cracker available in case of an emergency. Well, my sugar dropped - very low andI had to get in my car and drive to Safeway at 10pm to buy a snack. Not their fault but I needed help.

Breakfast no longer is included in a nights stay. Bathtub/shower although very cute, hard to shower in with the faucet on the side and the plug did not work at all.

We had stayed at this quaint inn last year and we had a positive experience; therefore, we decided to stay there again. Unfortunately, this time was a major disappointment. It was uncomfortable and frustrating. The building is charming and conveniently located in Seaside, close to the beach and restaurants in walking distance. First of all, the young man who checked us in displayed a total lack of courtesy, no good manners, no welcoming attitude, and poor customer skills; all these, the opposite of what one expects from hotel staff. He seemed more interested in his phone than in being professional. The room was charming but the walls have no insulation so one can hear virtually everything from other rooms; all types of bathroom sounds and loud conversations. There's no thermostat in the room so there's no way to control the temperature. Radiators maintain the room warm; rather, too hot in the middle of the night. The piece of metal that holds the shower head in place was broken. We asked for it to be repaired. When we inquired about the status of the repair, this man replied: "I'm sure it was repaired ... but I'm not sure." It had not been repaired. When it was finally fixed, the new piece that replaced the old one could not hold the shower head in its place. It kept falling off, causing the water to go all over the bathroom, and making it quite uncomfortable to have a simple good shower. We are not going to stay there again.

The property was quaint, homey, & comfortable. Some information provided on the Internet, email communications before our stay, & written information that we got upon arrival was confusing and contradictory. 1) According to the Internet and all emails we got before our stay, office hours were until 9 PM, and we were encouraged to call and let the property know if we would be arriving later than that. We intended to arrive by 8 PM to be there before the office closed. At about 6:30 PM I received a phone call from the office telling me that they would be closing at 7 PM; the clerk then gave me instructions for late arrival. On arriving we found a sign on the door saying that from December until March, the office hours would end at 7 PM. Why didn’t they tell me that in an email? 2) The key we were left did not open the nearest door. We had to read the 1-page letter in the after-hours packet to find out we needed to go to a different door to get in. Why didn’t the man who called me at 6:30 tell me that? 3) The 1-page letter with the check-in packet stated that breakfast was included in the price, but there were breakfast menu cards with the packet. A Post-it note had been attached to the cards; it said that breakfast was $10 per person. When I came downstairs the next morning and asked whether or not breakfast was included, I was told that it was not. A sign on the desk stated that reservations made after 1/1/24 would not include breakfast, yet we made reservations in December.

I would have given it a perfect rating but the lack of cable TV, especially ESPN during the National Championship game was disappointing. Had the weather been half way decent, it would have been great. We definitely plan to return to Gilbert Inn in the future.

What a lovely experience! Nestled amongst impersonal monoliths or chain establishments is the Gilbert Inn. Sweetly welcoming, homey, relaxing upon entering. No concrete walls, no neon, but fine wifi! Our breakfast was wonderful, and thoughtfully served. My only disappointment is that we stayed only one night! Definitely coming back!

Warm & Cozy Delightful Stay
Always LOVELY to stay at Gilbert Inn. Warm & friendly staff and a beautiful property. So close to the beach and many wonderful places to visit in walking distance. They even pulled the bikes out of storage since we had great weather. The fire pit is cozy and the hot breakfast is delicious with a personalized menu option. Thank you fir another delightful stay.

The Gilbert Inn is a lovely piece of history fashioned into separate, sizable rooms. The facilities are clean and comfortable, with quality remodeled bathrooms. There was no microwave or mini fridge in my room ---Emma's--- but I am unsure of the others. So just be aware in case you have perishable food you need/want to store. :) My only "warning" is that the stairs are VERY old and creaky, so any trips made at night are particularly loud (apologies to my neighbours). Your stay comes with a free, complimentary breakfast of your choice, made on-site (by a wonderfully friendly staff). The options during my stay were way better than I expected, with eggs and bacon, sausage, bagels, toast, fresh fruit and fruit cups. I definitely did not leave hungry.

"There's a Small Hotel . . "
In a resort city characterized by large, impersonal structures, the charming Gilbert Inn stands out. Each room has its own character, and the two rooms in which we have stayed were scrupulously clean and well-appointed. Bathroom appears to be new or newly remodeled, and was quite spacious. A substantial, made-to-order breakfast is provided In a "sunroom.". If we are ever back in Seaside, my wife and I will stay at Gilbert Inn again.
