The Gilbert Inn

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.

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).

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

The place is pretty cute and the rooms have a bit of charm. But it is not a romantic get-away. To start with, the place is 100 years old so the walls are really thin and the floors creak. That is an issue when there is a family with 18 kids staying upstairs and they run laps around the room at 7:30 am. Oh, and when a family with a BABY checks in next door. I appreciate facilities need to take the bookings but it certainly is a mood killer if you are going for a romantic vibe. The photos of the inn are all taken from one view - that is because there is a HUGE condo hotel next door. Did I mention huge? It is hard to feel the the cute sea-side town when next door to a high-rise. Finally, breakfast was nothing special.

This is such a cool old house and they were so nice and accommodating. My kids thought a breakfast was pretty cool.

The property was great and nicely furnished. I appreated the fact the property was an adult venue, but I did find the town and its restaurant choices were more "kid like".
