"I look forward to staying again at the Gables Inn. The staff were very helpful, I was able to check in early and also got a late check out. Very clean and the location is fantastic! Just steps away from the restaurants and the water."
"The room was very clean, however I had to ask the front desk for towels. I should have also asked for toilet paper. We had less than a 1/4 which was carefully folded very nicely, but there was no replacement roll. The A/C worked well, the bed was extremely comfortable, the room was quiet."
"Rooms were well maintained. Front desk staff was awesome. Daily housekeeping was a great surprise. One minute off the 101 made it accessible to everything on our trip. We will definitely stay again!"
"Andres was very rude to myself and my family.
The place is over crowded and the breakfast is a zoo.
The best part of our stay was the bell hops. They were great."
