Gilbert Inn Seaside

Excellent location a block from the beach and the main strip. It is also quite quaint with decor from the era the house was built. Great parking on property with no issues find a spot because the inn only has a hadful of rooms.

lovely Inn right near the beach and the main shopping and dining area in Seaside. Great full breakfast in the morning as well. Bikes to borrow were a bit rusty but we enjoyed riding around Seaside and down the 'Prom'. Really enjoyed our stay here.

Pros: Beautiful building. friendly staff. clean room. GREAT location. decent price, free breakfast in the morning. Pet friendly. Outdoor firepit and bikes to borrow. Cons: small rooms (luggage in "closet" in the bathroom), only 2 electrical outlets - one next to bed with lamp and clock, one across room for TV and DVD player. my room did not have a refrigerator/no space for one either, no surfaces to put anything down/the tv takes up the entire dresser top. You can hear the floor creaking when the people walk in the next room or above room.

With S'mores packages and easy access to the beach, this was the perfect getaway spot for our young family. Location was clean, breakfast was filling, and staff was friendly.

We had an amazing vacation with our two dogs! The location was super close to the beach and easy to navigate. The room was very cozy and clean. We will be coming back again soon!

This is a charming inn to stay at when you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing overnight in a place with character and history. Very clean and comfortable with a suitable breakfast included. I like that they are dog-friendly so my chiweenie could join me. My new favorite place to stay in Seaside that I hope is still affordable in other seasons. Thank you!

I stayed in the Emma room and it was gorgeous. Super cozy and the woodwork in the room is stunning. The building has so much history and it’s incredible seeing how well it is preserved. The location is perfect and parking is a breeze. The free breakfast is a huge plus. The staff are kind and welcoming.

Very nice place, comfortable and clean. Parking was a little tough as they have limited space. We had a wonderful tjme and would definitely stay here sgain!

The bed was very uncomfortable, the staff dismissive, the room was very loud from the neighboring rooms and the parking garage across the street (The photo of the dumpster truck stuck in the parking garage is the view from the room). Many things were broken, including the coffee machine and half of the bikes. There was hair in the breakfast. I was also irritated that the staff tried to charge us over $100 for requesting to change to a different room, despite that room being offered online at a lower price. I did enjoy the outdoor fireplace. But there are better places to stay with a similar proximity to the beach.

I've stayed at the Gilbert Inn about 6 times over the past few years, and I just keep coming back. It's not right on the ocean, but it's a half a block away and some rooms have partial views (if only the buildings in front would trim their trees) :) Weather permitting, I leave my window open at night and I can faintly hear the waves coming in. Very homey feeling, common areas are available at all times, great breakfast and the staff goes out of their way to accommodate the guests. My only suggestion would be to make the outdoor firepit area available year-round. Maybe add a cover to keep the rain out? The last two stays would have been complete if I could have gone out in the evening and enjoyed the fire. I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is. Be sure to ask about its history, or look it up on their website. A real gem in Seaside.

Pros: Beautiful building. friendly staff. clean room. GREAT location. decent price, free breakfast in the morning. Pet friendly. Outdoor firepit and bikes to borrow. Cons: small rooms (luggage in "closet" in the bathroom), only 2 electrical outlets - one next to bed with lamp and clock, one across room for TV and DVD player. my room did not have a refrigerator/no space for one either, no surfaces to put anything down/the tv takes up the entire dresser top.

Historic charm with warm free breakfast and clean rooms. A block from the beach, restaurants, and shopping. The bathroom door was as creaky as the floorboards and the bathroom had a moldy smell.

This is a lovely historic building near the heart of everything in Seaside. The staff are friendly and helpful, the room was small but clean, and the breakfast was good. Everything in town is within easy walking distance.

Charming historic home, converted to boutique hotel. Rooms and bathroom are spotless and updated. Breakfast is typical motel "continental", eggs & sausage, oatmeal, yogurt, bagel & toast, orange juice, only missing cereal.

We loved everything about this little hotel with one ecception. The smell of bleach was very stong and never went away the entire 4 nights we were there .

Really didn’t feel like a hotel, especially not a 3 star hotel.. I’m very surprised with the high ratings this hotel has recieved. It feels like you’re staying in someone’s spare bedroom in a very old house. Our room was the Gilbert or 1800s suite and we were so uncomfortable that we couldn’t stay the second night that we had originally planned. the carpet was wet with stains, the tv wouldn’t work because the internet was too slow, their pet policy asks you to hose off your dog outside but they don’t have a hose for it(I asked the front desk and he told me to go find the showers by the beach), the microwave is sitting on top of the mini fridge that’s on the floor and my one year old kept almost pulling it down on herself.. it should really be secured or on top of a cart. The carpet and shower insert were of motel quality. Nothing felt nice but the free breakfast was decent and the hotel very close to the beach. Don’t stay here if you’re afraid of ghosts. It’s old and creepy and they like to preserve its history and keep it that way. It could be so nice if they updated it! I’m was nice of them to accept my cancellation request for the second night and I was refunded.

Beautifully restored property. My room was a little small but the bathroom was perfect. Definitely staying at the Gilbert again!

The property is lovely. It was very clean, the staff was helpful, it was very quiet, and one block from the beach. My only criticism is that they no longer serve a fresh breakfast. They now offer a large-hotel style breakfast (hot tray of eggs, sausages, make-it-yourself waffles, etc.).

Room was great very clean great morning breakfasts peaceful and quiet

We loved our stay at Gilbert. Our room was super clean and comfortable. Property is small and familiar with no many rooms which we liked because it makes the place super quiet. We will be back in the summer.

Great location, nice room, awkward tub-shower situation that leaks all about floor. Thin walls.

What a great place to stay in Seaside. We stayed in the Turret Room and it was awesome. Larger room with sitting area. The location was great and lots of places within walking distance. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Seaside.

We stayed at Marthe room which has a living room, sink, mini fridge and microwave. It is clean, roomy and convenient.

I know it’s out of their control but 2 hour fire alarm going off from 8:30-10:30 pm across the street and baby crying in another room also no air conditioning made for a long, warm night

Great location and cute hotel in a period house. It was quite warm and there is no AC but with open windows there was a nice breeze. Our room was up on second floor and it was cute and quiet. I think the rooms on main floor (and by the door) would be noisy. Overall great deal for the price and the location is less than 1 block from the beach.

My stay wasn't great. The room had a weird smell, and it was super hot. The heater was centralized, so I couldn’t change the temperature. The front desk staff was nice and moved me to another room, but it was still pretty warm, and there were no ceiling fans like it said there would be. The shower was also a problem. The water didn’t have a normal temperature. It was either extremely cold or way too hot. The shower control (or whatever it’s called) wasn’t working properly, and there was no one at the front desk at that time, so I couldn’t get any help. I just wanted a nice, warm shower after a long day of travel, but that wasn’t possible. I couldn’t sleep the whole night because of the heat and discomfort. The staff was friendly and tried to help, but the issues with the room made it hard to enjoy my stay

Perfect location and some fun history. You will be in an old house that was converted to a hotel, so expect squeekiness, old everything, and lights/noises all night. Watch out, too, because the shower spits some seriously hot water- I can't remember the last time I was burned in a bathroom (all my fault but don't let the kids turn on the bath).

Pros: historical, clean, fast Internet and streaming services like YouTube on TV, comfortable beds. Cons: it was noisy in the middles of the night. Very late breakfast -starts at 8am, not enough sockets to charge devices.

This place is super cool and very well maintained. Staff is very friendly

This was a neat old home. We loved the history of the Gilbert family home. Our room was on the top floor. We have an aging doodle and it was a little much for her to go up the steep stairs, but otherwise it was a good stay. The only not so great comment would be as my husband was bringing our luggage down the young man at the desk just watched as my husband struggled with our luggage but didn’t offer to help. In fact he never said anything. That was a little disappointing.

I arrived about 6:15 pm on a Friday evening. The office was locked, no one answered the door bell. I called the emergency phone numbers but got no answer.Their website says the office is manned 9 am to 9 pm, but no one was there. In the foyer I had access to I found an envelope with my name on it tucked away in a mail receptacle. It had keys to another entrance, a room key and an indoor map to my room. The room I chose was the Turret Room. I had to climb steep narrow stairs to get to it. No one was there to help me with luggage. I was there 3 nights and received no maid service. However there was a tip envelope with a note saying it was to show my gratitude for providing a clean room. There were no hand rails in the bathroom. The place was a quaint historic home converted to vacation lodging. I enjoyed the historic value, but can't recommend the place as the stairs are a safety hazard and check-in was difficult.

Staff was not friendly, and when we tried to get breakfast, everything was gone. The eggs, sausage, etc. It waa approximate 9:15. And no one came to replenish it.

Staff should work until office closes --at 8:45 Went to get service for TV and internet. No one there at 8:45. Asked next day and told 'I left at 8:59". TV was only partially plugged in and obviously wouldn't work. Took me about 15-20 minutes to figure this out by plugging and unplugging everything. Obviously houskeeping did not check the first thing a guest is likely to use other that a bathroom. Lady second day did not apologize for the previous obvious lie. Breakfast eggs and sausage were cold.

Lovely Victorian home made into an inn. Comfortable room and bed. But the young men who work the front have ZERO personality. No super helpful. Had their AirPods in the whole time. Just would be nice to have been welcomed. Changed the vibe immediately. But everything else was great!

Beautiful historic property. The staff was outstandingly kind and helpful! Easy walk to the beach and everything else around Seaside.

The Matthew's Room was Amazing!! Clean and view of parking/my car. Loved the robes!! The staff was kind enough to check me in a bit earlier when asked if we could park the car in their spots. Inn is close to the beach and the stores/resturants. Eould Definitely stay there again

Really nice boutique inn. Great staff, clean room, very convenient location. We were very happy.

Beautiful quaint property close to the ocean and good restaurants.

Beautiful, old historic B&B experience, short walk to all of Seaside attractions.

Great proximity to shops and restaurants!

What a great place to stay in Seaside. We stayed in the Turret Room and it was awesome. Larger room with sitting area. The location was great and lots of places within walking distance. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Seaside.

It was a beautiful old property right near the beach. It's a fantastic place in a wonderful town.

The property is great and if you like antique furniture, this place is just amazing. The location is perfect. A block from the beach and a block from the shopping & restaurants.

Great time in Seaside and the Gilbert Inn provided all the amenities and space we needed for a great weekend. Surprised of how centrally located to everything the hotel is and how easy and walkable it is to restaurants, shops, and beach. We will stay here next time we are in town.

Very quaint place one block from the beach.

Great location and cute hotel in a period house. It was quite warm and there is no AC but with open windows there was a nice breeze. Our room was up on second floor and it was cute and quiet.

Beautiful hotel. Great location and awesome price.

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.

lovely Inn right near the beach and the main shopping and dining area in Seaside. Great full breakfast in the morning as well. Bikes to borrow were a bit rusty but we enjoyed riding around Seaside and down the 'Prom'. Really enjoyed our stay here.

Its a boutique historical house, well located as a hub to go to Connor beach , Indian beach. Somebody mentioned in a review excellent breakfast, definitely not. As boutique place as it is a staff person could offer at least some fresh eggs

The rooms are somewhat spacious for a B&B, clean and comfortable with nice robes and bed. It was quite noisy with people partying on Saturday night and trash trucks in the early morning. The breakfast is worse than a Best Western or lower end motel and for that reason do not plan to stay there again.

Staff was not friendly, and when we tried to get breakfast, everything was gone. The eggs, sausage, etc. It waa approximate 9:15. And no one came to replenish it.

The breakfast was horrible. Food wasn’t replenished. Same breakfast everyday. And the cleaning staff didn’t respect our privacy door hanger. We ran out of toilet paper at night and nobody answered the phone. Very disappointed.

We take weekend trips to Seaside a few times every year. The Gilbert Inn is a nice change of pace for us. Cozy, clean, comfortable, friendly, and a cooked to order breakfast. We enjoyed the fire pit and courtyard as well as the historic charm of the property. We'll be back.

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.

Love the proximity to the ocean beach and Seaside Promenade. Inn is so charming and comfortable, the full breakfast was delicious. The rose garden in front was so pretty this time of year and the Inn is lovely.
