Not only as a 40-year international business traveler, but as one in the middle of a 10,000 mile tour of the U.S., I found this motel to be very under-rated, both in value and experience. On this trip, we've stayed mostly in 3-star motels, with the occasional 2-star when we lacked choice; we picked the Grey Gull on that basis... More

We wanted a place on the beach where we could have our dog and this was perfect. All facilities worked fine, staff was friendly. Decor a little dated, and internet slow, but for price was a good deal. Very clean.

The Grey Gull is an older resort but we found it clean and well-maintained. We had 3 adults and 2 kids and stayed in a corner ground floor unit, Room 112. The units are privately owned, so we were told all are furnished differently. Ours had a living room, dining area, large fully-equipped kitchen, 1 bathroom, and a separate bedroom... More

I can't wait to go back! First I have to say that I love that this is not a chain place to stay. It's a small privately owned Inn that has rooms for rent and also owners onsite in their own individually owned units which must be why it is maintained so well. If you're looking for a room on... More

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Grey Gull. This hotel to me acts as a safeguard against the temperamental weather at Ocean Shores. We had a mixture of brilliant sun and cold wind/ fog during our stay. When the sun was out, we went to the beach that was easily accessed by a trail system at the back of... More

Room 107 was great for our family getaway. We reserved rooms next to each other and being on the ground floor visited back and forth. Nice decks off each unit. Next time I might stay up a floor for the view. Great pool, hot tub and on the ocean. We played croquet on the lawn and had a great time.... More

We celebrated my 60th birthday with a weekend stay at the Grey Gull at Ocean Shores. It had been over 30 years since we'd stayed there, and I expected to find it rather worn. Wrong. We stayed in suite 207 which is beautifully furnished and decorated. There were six of us, and we all had plenty of room and comfortable... More

I recently stayed at the Grey Gull with my teenage kids and a few friends. Everyone enjoyed the outdoor pool and the hot tub. The sauna was very relaxing and it was nice to have a shower room right at the sauna. The lobby was tastefully decorated and the kids enjoyed the game shelf. The rooms were comfortable and clean....

I stayed here recently, and while the staff were nice and I dug the pool, the noise levels at night drove me insane. The big fire pit outside is a party magnet, and at one am, packed with loud drunk guests, it was bad. I asked them nicely one night to chill, and they kind of did, but both nights... More
