Gilbert Inn Seaside

Location, bed and breakfast atmosphere

Breakfast, same bad sausage and eggs

Quaint and desirable inn.

Liked the old historic aspect of the building and closeness to the beach.

The busyness of the location negativity impacted our stay. The inn is next to the largest hotel on the beach where delivery trucks are constantly clunking. The hotel dumpsters are right beside the inn where people are slamming trash into it late at night. In addition, the inn is right next to the main public parking garage and walkway to the beach where tons of people are gathered visiting an indoor carnival center and restaurants. It's a major tourist trap. When you walk to the beach from the inn, it's a spot where they setup huge events on the sand. It looked like a massive construction zone with constant machinery running for the two days we stayed. Wish we would have picked a quieter location. Other than that, the room felt a bit cramped, no A/C, and you can definitely hear the other guests in other rooms around you. We thought the continental breakfast was going to be great from the reviews, but that was a major letdown. Waffles and eggs were decent. Stay away from the sausage. No ketchup in sight.

Staff was kind and helpful. Room was clean .

Lack of info on changing room temperature so we had to open the window. The coffee maker ran out of water near the end of the breakfast time and was not refilled so no more cups of coffee could be made.

Location, staff, grounds, fire pit, history, furnishings, cleanliness, accommodations

Breakfast. I’d have liked fresh brewed coffee with half and half, and to have eaten with real dinnerware and silverware. For the price we paid breakfast should have been better.

Breakfast was very good. Good location

Facilities need attention . Both inside and outside needed TLC. Mattress in bedroom needed replacement.

Cozy and bed very comfortable… shower great water pressure and roomy. Love the history of the home and the Gilbert Family

The breakfast really wasn’t good at all… that was disappointing.
