Gilbert Inn Seaside

Un petit établissement de caractère, bien situé.

I booked Gilbert Inn with a pretty simple checklist in mind: walking distance to both the beach and the convention center, a reasonable price, and breakfast included as a bonus. Somehow, it exceeded all of that. The inn feels like staying in a beautifully cared-for historic home, with incredible attention to detail and spotless rooms. The staff were welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived. I happened to visit during cherry blossom season, and the petals blowing through the property and across my car in the ocean breeze felt almost surreal. Pair that with one of the most gorgeous sunsets I’ve seen on the Oregon coast, and the whole stay felt a little magical. The breakfasts were excellent, especially the waffles and the sunny breakfast room. Also worth mentioning: the shower had amazing water pressure and consistent hot water, which seasoned travelers know is never guaranteed. The location couldn’t have been better. Easy walking access to the beach, shops, restaurants, and convention center, while still feeling peaceful and tucked away. I was in town for Peerpocalypse, which focuses on some emotionally heavy topics, and Gilbert Inn ended up being the perfect place to decompress between sessions and virtual meetings. Comfortable, quiet, and genuinely restorative. Would absolutely stay here again.

The place is great if you are a couple and want to get away for a night or 2! The room we had was right behind the reception desk so we literally heard everything! Also- around 6 am we heard the employees start getting ready for breakfast on the other side so lots of banging and loud noises at 6am on a weekend which I was bummed about!

Great bed, breakfast, overall atmosphere

Great hotel in a great location
