The Grey Gull

Beautiful place to stay. Usually pretty quiet. Great outdoor pool, too bad they on heat it up to 82° even during the cold months.

Price was decent but why on earth would they put a family next to a young couple in love the walls are very thin so if peace and quiet is what you're looking for try the other hotels because the Grey gull has thin walls that poor family I can only imagine what they heard .

Just okay. Great location and path down to the beach is a plus. Livingroom furniture was very uncomfortable and smelled like someone threw up on them. Bed was hard, only one thin blanket on bed and it is cold outside. Bed pillows were very old. I'd stay again, but only in an updated room.

Great stay! Great place. Our place was individually owned. Very clean. Super close to the beach and town. Great walking distance. I would recommend bring water. None in the vendor machine. Staff was so kind and helpful. Dog friendly. 10/10 would come back.

Pretty good. Staff was SO sweet. Room was hard to find and elevator seemed to be on the edge of death. Really nice view and comfy couches. Bed was not that comfy. Tried to use washer and dryer (which we had to pay for) and may have just been our experience but it didn’t work—kept shutting off so didn’t wash and barely dried. Shower was ok.

This place has nice views. However, we had an issue with the door lock which was difficult to close. The carpet also smelled and the low battery for one of the detectors also happened to wake us up at 3:00am unfortunately. The bed was also quite hard and uncomfortable. So not really that great of an experience overall.

UPDATE - 10/12/21
We still have yet to receive a receipt from grey gull regarding our transaction. None was given.

They were doing construction on our side of the hotel basically outside of our room. Pounding and banging and machinery all day long.Had we known that we would never have booked here. This was supposed to be a relaxing getaway celebrating 32 years of marriage.The front desk gal tried to tell me she didn't think the construction was where I said it was and half heartedly apologized but was not terribly helpful.We stayed here when we got married 32 years ago and wanted a romantic few days this time. Likely won't be back. Too many other lovely places to stay down here.

We got married in 1994 and spent our honeymoon here....we came back 27 years later and its so pretty! rooms are updated and staff was very kind! We relived our time here and we sure enjoyed each second. Bummer the hot tub wasnt open but all was perfect. And we were given a great deal for 3 nights too. We WILL be back!

We stayed in the Penthouse suite on August 1st. The suite was nicely furnished and clean. The king bed was very comfortable. We have stayed at the Grey Gull on several occasions over the past 40 years. We have noticed recently that there is significant deferred maintenance throughout. We can only assume that they are only able to target the immediate maintenance issues. The suite had a beautiful view, but if you look closely the deffered maintenance issues referred to are apparent.

We stayed at the GG for a weekend. The room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything I needed. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. The pool was clean and nice. Only downside was the hot tub being out but they had a part on back order. Close to the beach. A lovely place to stay.

You get what you pay for I suppose. An overnight here at the Grey Gull. A short walk to the beach; the condition of the room but location of reality balances out. Most places this close to the beach, can be quite deep. The price was reasonable for that alone. The condition of the room was questionable at best. Seemingly, the place is falling to pieces. I imagine Covid has made it difficult to upkeep most places of business. Personally, we won't stay here again. It was moderately clean and staff were not unkind. The hot tub, was, unfortunately, closed for repairs as well. I do wish the website would

My 80 year old mother and I stayed for 4 nights in March. Condo 311. You need to be on 3rd floor to see the ocean. The unit had a balcony, kitchen, separate bedroom with a king and nice Murphy bed in living room (that is not too bad!). Elevator and path to the beach. Although the property is dated, many properties in OS are so if you expect that, you're good. Everything worked and staff was super friendly. We will come again.

Perfect overnight getaway. Beautiful view of the ocean. Great front desk. Always fun

Was in room 312. Awesome view of the ocean. Little balcony perfect for two people. Downfalls unfortunately were the mattress was extremely poor condition very Lumpy. There were only three pans in the place a small skillet,a medium Skillet, and a saucepan. Nun had lids. Everything in the refrigerator froze. It was on the lowest setting. When we checked out we found out they have extra pans and extra dishes in storage. Never bothered to mention it to us until we complained about not having any. Two burner stove both burners work. No oven but there was a microwave. This room also had a very nice fireplace

An eleventh-hour booking had us in Ocean Shores at the Grey Gull for the long Jul 4th weekend. It was great. All the staff are down to earth and amazing. Very liberal (not alluding to politics), and let revelers act like revelers. In that regard, nobody was out of control. It is also very family friendly, so during high season times expect the pool and spa to be filled with teenagers. Happy people are never a bother to our family. Our condo was great. Mattress in the bedroom was very comfy, and my wife even got the brand name from the staff. Even the Murphy Bed in the living area was comfortable

The staff here were really nice and provided wonderful service. When we checked in the receptionist was helpful by putting us in a room that was better for our family. It felt more like home rather than a hotel room. Everything was really clean too! It does faintly smell like pets but that come with the territory of staying at a pet friendly hotel.

Check in went smoothly front desk attendant was nice and made sure we knew the rules. We got 2 rooms one on the bottom floor (right by the pool) and one on the second floor (pet friendly). This is definitely not a new building however it appears they have been keeping it maintained. The groundskeeper was mowing and we had to walk by, we were going to just walk around him but he shut it off so we did not have to and he had a smile!! They have laundry on site, ice machine and vending machines (although my soda was expired). The rooms are actual keys which i love and the wifi password is right on

This three story ocean side resort is a great value for your money. It has one bedroom apartment style rooms with decks facing the ocean. An outdoor pool and hot tub are perfect if the weather is warm enough to hop in.

Each room comes with a fully stocked kitchen which allows you to bring and make your own food. There are also dish washers which make cleaning up much easier. There are tv's in both the bedroom and the living room.

Each of these rooms is owned by an individual and then rented out by the Grey Gull. That means that each room is decorated by the owner so each is unique; some

This was my first and for sure not the last time I will stay at The Grey Gull! This hotel is perfectly located near everything you wanna see and do in town. There's also a neat little pathway you can take to get to the shore. Our stay was awesome! No loud neighbors, the rooms were clean, and just about everything you needed was provided. There's a bedroom, a bathroom, and in the living room is a murphy pull out bed. In addition, there's an amazing fire gas fire place. There's a dining table, a kitchenette with silverware, dishes, cups, coffee, a T.V with not so basic channels

I love the nostalgia of this beach resort. We used to stay here when I was a kid, and it has not changed a bit. Although the units are extremely dated, that really is just part of the experience. I felt that the units were clean and "well kept", although older.
My issue with The Grey Gull is unfortunately the staff. When we checked in our room was not only not ready, but we also never received a phone call (as promised) telling us when it was ready. We tried to call the front desk multiple times to ask if our room was ready (6pm on a 4pm check in time), and each time no one answered

This place has not been kept up. It is old and tired. If you like smokers, you are at the right place. People can smoke all over the grounds including the balconies of the rooms. The smoke blows right into the next deck and room.

The cleaning and maintanance staff are really friendly which is the only good thing about the place now. After staying there for years, we will not be back. Not only the smoking, but the lack of maintaining the building is really showing. The pool appears dirty as well. They do not make up the rooms until late afternoon due to getting the vacant rooms done first.

We have been coming here for several years as a family. We always stay at the Grey Gull. They never disappoint!! We have already booked for next July!!

We absolutely love it here. Years ago, when our daughter was little we stayed across the street at the Gitche Gumee, and dream of the day we could stay there. We've come here for years, but have missed the last few. That's what grandkids do to your lives. We have been here at different times of the year, so have experienced all weather. Nothing like coming back to the comfort and coziness of this place after a couple of hours on the beach. The staff could not be friendlier.
We are here Mother's Day weekend, looks like our last visit. I will retire in less than 8 months and we will
