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.

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.

Only complaint is lack of electric plugs but it’s an old charming building

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!

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.

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.

Nice, quaint place to stay. Small Bed & Breakfast feel.

Really liked that they had older dvd movie options to unwind with at night.
It was pretty noisy most parts of the day, but that's to be expected with a historic building.
Gorgeous structure.
Kind staff.
Would recommend

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.

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.

Receptionist (Mary) was very nice and helpful. The facility is old, and so you heard through the walls - guest, showers, and creaking floors. No A/C, and you couldn't leave the windows open because there is a housing project out the window - very loud. They do serve you breakfast, but it could have been better. The claw-foot tub looked nice, but was very difficult to shower in.The room decor was not in keeping with a historic turn of the century residence.

I liked the Gilbert Inn. Stayed twice in the 9 days I spent exploring the coast. A bit pricey for what you get and I’d skip the breakfast, but I did like it overall. Can’t beat the location.

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.

It was very expensive for a 3* property. Im guessing it was mostly remodeled about 20 years ago in order to meet a very minimum ADA code. It would be a fine place to stay if the rate was under $100 a night.
4.0
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.

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.

Awesome hotel at Seaside. Historical building which is in very good condition, very clean and in perfect location! There are several restaurants within a couple of minutes walking distance.
We prefer this kind of unique hotels that have as well some story behind.
