The Grey Gull - Ocean Shores

My room was not your average "cookie-cutter" layout. A vaulted ceiling gave it a roomy feel. I had a nice view of the ocean. The room was furnished with a DVD/VHS player, which is a nice touch. The compact kitchenette came in handy.

This was a gift for April's wedding night, they were thrilled!!! The staff was very nice and made them feel welcome. Thanks to all of you for making their stay a great experience.

The room was great. It was quiet, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I had a great stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall we had a comfortable night, but it was a bit noisy. The only jarring note is when I was notified upon checkin that there was a pet fee. I selected this hotel because pets were allowed. I don't mind paying a pet fee but the notice was hidden at the very "bottom" of the web page and I did not see it. I don't like surprises.

Great time, nice staff

Second visit in 6 months, this time a post Christmas decompression. Very cozy and warm, spent hours reading in front of the fireplace. If you go during the winter, bring a change of socks and rubber boots for the walk to the beach, the dunes are full of water!

A mid-winter stay in Ocean Shores. The Grey Gull is always exceptional. Clean and neat, third floor with a great view. Hot tub and sauna were up to expectations.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice people. Very nice people. Room was great accept the tv should be upgraded. third floor needed for ocean view. Hot tub was very good.

What a lovely hotel/condo. The room had a nice view of the sunset over the beach and overlooks the pool and spa. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. It is not a shiny new place and has been there since the 70's at least but has been well maintained and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We will return again for a nice quiet stay […] at the beach. Read more

Took a couple of days off at the beach to recover a little mental health. Found this place on Expedia and booked it baseed on the reveiws. What a good decision! The front door is a bit tricky to find, but the staff was warm and welcoming. The veiw from my room was terriffic! I left the deck door open most of the time for the cool breeze and ocean smell. […] The fireplace was lovely, the room cozy and comfortable. I was so relaxed, the t.v. never came on! Shopping is close by, I also recommend Mirah baked salmon with honey sauce next door. Oh and don't forget to read the diary in your room. Great stories from other visitors. I DEFFINATELY plan on visiting again! Read more

This was a great location for us, as we have 2 dogs that we love to take to the beach. Most dog friendly locations tend to be more on the "run-down" side, and understandably so. But this is not the case here!We were so impressed with the accommodations and value! It was a spacious room, more like a suite, with living room,fireplace, kitchenette, kitchen […] table, and a private balcony. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. You can stay here with confidence!! The location is perfect also. Walking distance to the beach and shopping/eating areas. Read more

Nice up dated room. very clean. great pool and fire pit area out side in courtyard. one bad thing our room was right next to the maintenance house keeping area and it got very loud with everyone working right outside our door. I would stay again but would want a different room and probly one on the second third floor for a better view.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Our room was amazing. Sooo much better then I was imagining it to be. It had a fire place which made everything cozy, and a great view, and the full on kitchen and it was just great. Everything was clean and that's one thing that makes or breaks a place for me so it was clean which is most important. But I would recommend this to couples wanting a weekend […] getaway for themselves. Read more

Very comfortable. Only thing to make it better would have been sunshine!

Genuine Expedia guest review

it was nice, a little warm with no a.c. and no fan in the room, couldnt open door because of fire pit smoke blowing in, but all in all a good stay w/ helpful staff.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were pleasantly surprised by both the size of the room, and the fact we had a full kitchen! Had a freezer, refrigerator, microwave, stove, all the plates and utensils as well. You can cook just about anything if you bring your own food. It did have an older TV, and a gas fireplace, plus two leather chairs, and the king bed. We were on the ground […] floor and had a nice view of the sand dunes, and fire pit not far away, plus there was an outdoor gas grill available to use if you brought your own food. We walked all over downtown from our hotel, and enjoyed the staff and other guests, and had breakfast across the street, which was nice. It was the annual sun and surf bike run, and was very nice to be centrally located to all the action. The only other thing is the room was dated and is in need of a serious modern overhaul, everything from the TV to the decorations on the walls to the bed were reminders of the 70's/early 80's. Other than that, we had a great time, and was a very pleasant experience for the money. And the place was clean! Read more

We stayed while I attended a seminar, and thoroughly enjoyed the Grey Gull. The kitchen is well-stocked, fully operational, and completely self-sufficient, the one bedroom room was spacious, the bed perfectly fine and comfortable for my light-sleeping wife. Not state of the art construction or amenities, as the modest price indicated, but we liked the […] small town family atmosphere -- kids making all kinds of noise, but not at inappropriate times, dogs running around, barbecues going. And the staff really seemed to care about us. It was not what we would normally seek for a getaway, but all in all a really nice vibe. We will go back. Read more

Pet friendly and close to the beach, shopping and food. Pool and lobby are nice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I was great and very comfortable and nice accomodations. Usually when you book a pet friendly hotel your stuck with a dump, this was a very good quality place, clean and had all the immenities!!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Grey Gull, as can be expected at an older location which is buffeted by the elements - is looking a little worn and tired. Little things, like sticking doors and a sliding screen door that fell off the rail, a broken bathroom sink stop, a lack of basic kitchen tools and amenities (salt & pepper for instance), etc. To be fair, the property provides […] adequate amenities (pool, fireplace, parking and beach access to be a good fit for families. Especially families who have the family pooch with them, which was a crucial consideration for us and our Golden Retriever (they are pet friendly and charge only $15 a night to have your pet share your room). The town itself seems economically depressed with many vacant store-fronts and empty hotel/motel parking lots during the week. This probably precludes large refurbishing projects at properties like the Grey Gull. All in all, it was "fine". Is "fine" adequate when other choices are available? I won't say yes. I won't say no. It depends upon what comforts and amenities are important. For instance, they provide luggage carts for guests to load/unload luggage and personal items. Unfortunately, the elevator and doorways were not built to be easily accessible and require an expert in parallel-parking to navigate to your room/car. Read more

My granddaughter, myself & puppy were very comfortable. the staff was easy to work with & allowed us our privacy when we slept in. I will stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Rooms are clean, kinda noisy (Very thin walls) can hear tv's and people walking around. Beds are ok at best, you can feel the springs so the beds are getting old and need to be replaced. I would not stay here again unless they did some updating.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was our first stay at the Grey Gull and we were pleasantly surprised given the age of the property. The room was clean and comfortable, had a great view and was very quiet. We stayed in room 303. Highly recommend The Grey Gull!

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Grey Gull, simply put, was one of the nicest hotels that I have stayed in -- at any cost. With a small kitchenette, a fireplace, and comfortable chairs to lounge in, this hotel's rooms were a joy to stay in. In the summer, I'm sure that the pool, the hot tub, and the fire pit are popular. The staff were professional and warm, and they were concerned […] for me. The only weakness of this hotel is that it doesn't have a kitchen on site. Read more

We were supposed to be given a studio room on the 2nd floor - ocean view w/ king bed. Some how we got upgraded and the hotel we stayed at was surprised too. We did not get the room with an ocean view like we really requested for our stay. We did get a poolside room on the bottom floor. The condo was nice, with old but well kept furnishings. We were […] not guaranteed the room we wanted though which showed a much more updated room and the ocean view. We will book directly through the hotel we want to stay at next time and get exactly what we asked for. Read more

Great view and it had a fireplace and a deck. I'll be back !!!! And I like that they allow pets.

The courtyard and pool area is nicely designed, and well maintained. The sound of the ocean was very relaxing... Nice atmosphere overall. I really liked the cleanliness as a whole considering that this is pet freindly facility. =) This would be a great place to hold group gatherings, or just a nice get-a-way for two... The grounds are spacious with […] a fire pit as well as a large bbq for guests to use. I can't wait until my next get-a-way with my dog named Boo! **** Read more

The hotel was welcoming and convenient. Loved the decor and how close it was to the beach. Offered a firepit for relaxation with sauna and hot tub. Was very friendly and I was able to bring my pet. I will for sure be back. It was an excellent experience.

This was our second stay at the Grey Gull and we were extremely disappointed compared to the first time we stayed there. There were only maybe 3 other rooms rented the same days we were there and we got a really dumpy room. The kithen cabinets were broke, the silverware holder in the drawer was cut in half. The chairs were worn out. We felt there must […] of been a better room they could of put us in. Whoever is responsible for the condition of our room should make some upgrades and changes to it, (room 212). Also the people behind the counter were not very friendly when we checked in and when we checked out. Read more

The unit was well set up with lots of little extras. Putting simple meals together was easy, lots of utensils etc. We found the eating bar a little awkward to eat at and ended up eating off our laps by the windows. The pool looked a bit cloudy so we opted not to use it. Great property, nice walks. This would be a great place for a family gathering.
