Guest Reviews

• Maria (10/5): - Allowed to check in a little early and provided a lovely room with ocean view. The person provided some very good information about local dining options and things to do. Grateful for this person!
• Aaron (10/5): - Perfect location
• Elena (10/5): - great location! nice and big room was comfortable and staff was caring.
• Shannon (4/5): - The location is great. It is a very run down motel and smells a bit like smoke in areas due to staff and guests smoking in the parking garage. Staff was friendly and helpful.
• Brenda (10/5): - So close to beach and covered parking!
• Eleanor (8/5): - Propert was very convenient. Nothing much in the pier but we walked to meals in both direction and to the little town for coffee everyday.
• Anastasia (8/5): Budget friendly & comfortable - Right at the entrance to the beach, this no-frills location offers a decent room with comfortable beds & pillows. Where amenities are lacking, the location and cost still make it a good choice for the beach going budget-conscious vacationer.
• Melissa (10/5): - Christy was very helpful with my reservation.
• Melissa (8/5): - Stayed two nights. The location and access to the beach are outstanding. Having private access to walk down to the beach is one reason I would stay again. The room was very spacious and it was clean. The carpet is older, in the fact that the room had a little bit of a musty odor. Nothing that would stop me from staying again. The view was very nice and good for people watching on the balcony. Nice restaurant/bar a few feet away. We got there exactly at three o'clock and were checked in quickly. Overall very nice place for being an older hotel.
• Nannie (2/5): - Kristy was rude.
• Katherine (10/5): Clean and spacious, great location - Very spacious room with table and chairs and an almost full kitchen with a view of the ocean
• Stephanie (10/5): - We always have a wonderful time at the Silver Gull! Fourth year in a row!!
• Miranda (10/5): - Everything was great! We will be staying there again!
• Dana (10/5): - Close to beach
• Joel (8/5): - Older property but very convenient to the beach. At a comparably good price point to other options when we compared. We go to the beach for the beach and not necessarily for the amenities of the motel.
• Daisy (8/5): - I loved that it was just walking distance to the beach and the place was not very expensive. The rooms were kept clean and the people were very nice. One of the best motels I’ve stayed at. Only issue was WiFi was not very good but overall. Very good
• Md (10/5): - This property is very close to the beach and safe.
• Tracey (10/5): - Very clean and great spot
• John (10/5): Highly recommend - Excellent friendly, helpfully staff. Nice large rooms and a great location- close to everything
• Susan (10/5): - The employees are all very nice and helpful🤗 It’s a great location!🤗 Nice big room, full size refrigerator, balcony!🤗
• Carrie (8/5): - Will stay again
• Alyssa (10/5): - Everyone we encountered from the staff were extremely nice and helpful when needed. You can see the ocean from your bed and we were one of the furthest rooms away! Great place would highly recommend.
• Francisco (10/5): - .
• Israel (8/5): - Need cleaning improvement.
• Robert (10/5): - From check in to check out the staff was fantastic!
• Maggie (6/5): - The motel was very clean and all the staff were quite nice. My only complaint were my neighbors above me and beside me. They were extremely loud (sounded like fighting) and yelling, and they repeatedly kept slamming their sliding door. I called the front desk and let them know and it did get better that night. But it never completely stopped.
• Roberta (10/5): A pleasant surprise - A hidden gem right on the beach
• John (8/5): - Just what we were looking for! Would be happy to return again in the future.
• Kim (8/5): - This property is in a great location. If they would spend a few extra dollars and do a deep clean, this property would be top notch. We did love that there was no smoking.
• Karen (10/5): - Location!!!! Clean Big Space Room !!! I’ll be back
• Charli (8/5): - Great property especially for the price! Super clean! Smelled great! Parking is tight. Only one vehicle per room otherwise you have to pay for parking. Not a huge deal just a hassle when you pay for the whole weekend and still get a ticket you have to dispute which was annoying. Loved being able to sit on the porch to see the ocean’s view. Loved how large the room was too. Great stay & kind staff. Perfect for families. Will definitely stay again.
• melinda (10/5): - The walls were really good at keeping the the sounds outside of the hotel out of my room. Parking was convenient but there should be a warning that parking was only for small cars.
• Carol (8/5): - Staff is friendly and accommodating. It’s not fancy, but you are right there on the beach, and surprisingly, the elevator is pretty quick. Also love the covered parking in the heat.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay! - The hotel is old, but I have stayed here many times and never had any issues at all. Staff are friendly. Love the proximity to the beach and the free parking, it is quiet, has a full kitchen, clean beds and towels, could use a remodel and interior updates but that doesn’t deter me from staying there in off season.
• Susan (10/5): - Clean, on the beach, great staff, large room, full size refrigerator so happy we found this little gem.
• Gabriel (10/5): Right by the beach - Great location. The room was spacious and had a kitchenette. It was just what we needed.
• Adriene (8/5): - It was extremely convenient, great location!
• Kenneth (8/5): - We enjoyed our stay at this place. The staff was friendly, there’s a great coffee machine at the reception. The shower water pressure was low and the cleaning could be better.
• Kathryn (10/5): - The room was spacious, spotless and comfortable. The balcony was a perfect little spot to experience the sound of the waves and see the ocean, while being at the room. The beach access was literally a two minute walk from room to water. This was the perfect getaway for me.
• Laura (10/5): - Wonderful! Silver Gull motel is truly right on the beach, parking provided, staff friendly, and ultra-spacious rooms. Newly renovated bathrooms, great showers, comfy bedding, balconies to watch the waves. Quiet and peaceful.
• Gary (8/5): - Have stayed here three times and Silver Gull never disappoints. No nonsense hotel as close to the beach one could stay without paying condo prices. If you don't bring your own food to cook, there's a small grocery store nearby. Best place to stay at Wrightsville Beach without all the pricey fluff of other places!
• Andrea (10/5): - Clean rooms, friendly and accommodating staff(we left clothes hanging in the room on checkout), they called as soon as it was noticed and are mailing our belongings. The location is perfect, just steps to the beach. We will be returning!
• Meghan (10/5): Quick trip - Great stay!
• Tiffany (4/5): - Parking was horrible
• Lydia (10/5): - Ocean view was gorgeous. A little older hotel but the rooms were spacious and clean, so nice to people watch from the balcony, short walk to the a couple beach stores and parking was available. Half mile walk to wrightville dining area and ice cream. Definitely be back.
• fred (10/5): - Very nice, clean, accessible. Elevator a huge plus!
• Abdelali (10/5): - Been to this multiple times , different seasons and it never disappoint.
• John (8/5): - The property is a little tired but very clean. The location is perfect, being on the beach and a 15 minute walk to a selection of bars and restaurants. The free onsite parking is also a bonus with the beachside location.
• rebecca (10/5): - Great location very pristine beach. Hotel was convenient to everything it was quiet and safe facilities basic but comfortable
• Tammy (10/5): - Very nice and convenient location.
• Livia (8/5): Location is perfect - Cute little ocean front motel. I was attending a conference nearby at another oceanfront hotel and it was lovely to be able to walk along the beach each morning and evening as my “commute.”
• Debbie (10/5): - Wonderful stay. Front desk personnel were kind and helpful. Building was old but clean. We enjoyed our time.
• Nicole (10/5): - We loved our stay. Great location to everything and convenience to many good food options. Everything was spot on with space and cleanliness. Only contrictive feedback, beds aren't the most confortable. Staff were very friendly and we loved being able to walk out to the beach from our floor. Highly recommend! We'll be back!
• Stephanie (10/5): - Wonderful staff and property. The room had great amenities available for use. Very clean and well stocked. Right on the fishing pier and on the shore, you cannot beat it for the price.
• Samantha (10/5): - Fantastic location and very friendly staff.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The location is ideal, offering great convenience due to its adjacency to the pier for a fishing day.
• Kelly (10/5): Great place to stay for pier fishing - This is a great little place to stay. It is an older property but our room was very clean. They have covered parking and it is right next to a great fishing pier. We also walked over to Sharks Bar and Grill for dinner.
• Janet (10/5): - The hotel is right beside the pier—very convenient. It’s not a fancy place, but it’s neat, clean, and the rooms are spacious. Will definitely return.
• Cherish (8/5): - Great location with access to the beach! Parking was a bit difficult with a larger vehicle but if all the free spots are taken you can park outside the hotel for a fee. Room was clean, with kitchenette, and table. Toilet was very slow and water pressure was low but that was expected!
• Daniel (10/5): - It was nice having a full size refrigerator and stove top to cook on!
• Jan (10/5): - From check in to check out it was a great experience. Loved the location. Will definitely come back again.
• Cathy E (10/5): Great location and room amenities! - Great location. Friendly staff , comfy beds! Parking is tight , no frills but the view is awesome and the kitchenette is a huge plus with full size fridge and excellent size bathroom with area to get ready.
• Pam (10/5): - My room was spotless, very clean. Bed comfortable. Cold AC, hot water in the shower. Water pressure not great but was ok. Will definitely stay here again!
• Terry (8/5): - Great people watching and ocean front walk way.
• Christine (10/5): - Ice place for a quick weekend stay right on the beach by the pier. A bit dated but overall clean and comfortable.
• jazelle (10/5): - Clean,friendly satff
• Judith (10/5): - Very close to the beach. Great view of the ocean and free parking
• Michael (10/5): - Fantastic location next to a great beach.
• Patricia (10/5): - Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a table and four chairs and a nice little kitchenette. The property is right on the beach... you cannot beat the location. The only issue is if you go on a nice weekend, the traffic is horrendous. Might take you 10 minutes to drive that last block to the motel. Having parking onsite was a lifesaver though.
• jennifer (8/5): Spring break - Excellent location, friendly staff, kitchen is a plus. The ocean was fantastic. Comfortable beds. I will definitely return.
• Neal (10/5): Nice, quaint little hotel on the beach. - Staff was friendly and helpful, our room was clean and had a view of the ocean and the pier. Covered parking was a plus, keeping car out of hot sun. Would definitely stay again in the future.
• Bruce (10/5): - All the staff were great!
• Kenya (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay at Silver Gull Motel. It was right on the beach which is always a plus. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They weren't stingy with the towls. Our room was clean and it was quiet. I loved that our room had a kitchen. My only complaint was the parking. I felt it was a little tight. I appreciated that one of the workers came out and help me back out. I will definitely stay again in the future.
• Warren (2/5): - One of the worst maid staff ever. I never have stayed at hotel like this. My room didn’t even get cleaned before I began my stay. Yea the made the beds with dirty sheets. There was visible sand on the floor. Absolutely disgusting. I would never stay there again. Disgusting!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - For being on the beach in a central location you cant beat the price. Overall stay was good. It is an older hotel that needs updated but again a good price. The second shift manager was friendly. The first shift manager appeared to really not care. The room coffee pot was gross with scum floating in water. I informed the male first shift manager and he had no reaction or response. Finally i found a very helpful cleaning staff that removed the coffee pot from the room.
• Laura (10/5): - So close to the beach! Convenient to walk around shops and pier. We had comfortable beds and clean place.
• Howard (10/5): Beach trip - Always amazing at Silver Gull
• Michael (10/5): - Front desk was friendly and easy stay.
• Cheryl (10/5): - Although this is an older property, it is well maintained. It is right on the beach very near Johnny Mercers pier. Parking is under the building so very closeby.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Weekend Trip - The hotel was a nice place. It was not updated but it was clean. Employees were very nice. I would stay here again in the wintertime.
• Esme Alcantara (10/5): - clean and thorough
• dana (10/5): - What is not to like about being on the beach. Old motel with tired decor but there is a beach right outside. Clean. Staff is friendly and helpful.
• Elijah (10/5): - 😮‍💨
• Stacy (10/5): Great motel with tight parking garage. - We had a great stay and will definitely return. We luckily didn't have a problem with parking, because the motel was not at full capacity, but it is extremely tight quarters to park onsite, so I would not bring a large vehicle there.
• Amanda (8/5): Great overall stay - It was a beautiful view. Right on the beach. Lots of space in the room. Loved that we had a full size fridge and a small stove. Comes with dishes, paper towels, cleaning supplors, extra blankets and towels. The only thing i could complain about is the bed and pillows where super hard. Perfect if you like hard bedding, but not for our family. Other that everything is perfect. Also, there is a pier directly beside the hotel.
• Philip (10/5): - Its a motel on the beach - location can not be beat. Each room has a full size fridge and are fairly spacious. Yes, the rooms are old and dated but did I mention, IT IS ON THE BEACH! You won't be disappointed.
• Nallie (10/5): - Love that it’s beach access and beautiful view.
• Kristen (10/5): - Great location for a weekend getaway! Room was very comfortable and appreciated the kitchenette! Walkable area - 0.5 mile walk to grocery and restaurants plus a great bar and restaurant just steps from the room!
• Sarah (10/5): - Views of the beach, quiet & free parking!
• CURTIS G (6/5): - It was at best in out of season a $60.00 per night stay. Rooms needs updating for price they ask for.
• Abdelali (10/5): - Love the location ! It is right by my favorite fishing pier .. if you enjoy fishing it is a perfect motel , also the sunrise from it's balcony is amazing
• Jean (10/5): - You could see the ocean from the balcony. It’s was steps away/easy to access. Lovely older building with parking for the residents underneath.
• Meredith (6/5): - Older hotel, large rooms, affordable, with kitchenette, right on the beach. Friendly and helpful staff, and parking was included. Unfortunately, we had a loud group of fishermen, right above us, who partied til 2 am. We didn’t contact the office, but put in earplugs and stuck it out. Next time would call management because it tainted an otherwise comfortable stay.
• Robin (10/5): - Large room. Clean and comfortable. Liked having the kitchenette with full size fridge. That provided the opportunity to eat out less and save money. Good view of ocean from balcony on south side of the building (not oceanfront). Staff on site 7 am - 11 pm. Luckily no problems since response time would.be at least 30 minutes. Didn't like that room number is displayed on parking tag. Convient location with restaurants, bars, and grocery about 5 minutes away.
• Jacqueline (10/5): Quick family trip - Great for a quick family trip.
• Lynda (10/5): - Staying in January, the quietness and easy beach access was great. I liked the mini kitchen, I mixed eating out and self catering.
• Glenn (10/5): - It's always an excellent stay. Good, friendly folks.
• patricia (10/5): Relaxing REAL beach town with great surf vibe - So relaxing,and great helpful staff! Comfortable, clean, easy parking. SUPERB!!!! Great town with friendly intelligent locals.
• Robert (10/5): - Great location. Awesome motel.
• Thomas (10/5): The ONLY Place to Stay in Wrightsville Beach! - Easy and breezy checkin, outstanding front desk services, outstanding housekeeping and room preparation, large and spacious rooms, and the best of all? THE FANTASTIC LOCATION! This weekend stay was excellent! Could not ask for a better location! The room was comfy and very clean and the hotel personnel on point! EXCELLENT and I highly recommend.
