Very cozy apartment, great fireplace, on the upper floor so there was actually a bit of a water view, unlike most of Ocean Shores dune hotels. Kitchen well stocked, everything was clean, armchair was very comfy, smart tv was appreciated! The hot tub was on and available for use (outdoor) even in Dec, though I didn't use it. Grey Gull is predictable and comfortable; I've stayed many times.

Everything was clean, though some things felt a bit dated (normal for Grey Gull and the rest of Ocean Shores really), and one outlet wasn't working. I have no real complaints - I enjoyed my stay very much.

Wonderful bed and bedding. Very quiet.. We had been traveling a week prior and stayed at motels so it was great to have room to stretch out and do a load of laundry. Bathroom and shower were good. We also walked to the local IGA And purchased some groceries and deli items to have meals. There were plenty of pans and utensils for preparing meals. There was a keurig in the room with coffee supplies and more coffee supplies available in the lobby, there were also DVDs you could check out to watch. It is my understanding that they’re all privately owned so each one could be a little different. We stayed in room 111. There was a walking pier by the beach two doors down at the Shiloh but we had socked in fog and rain the day we stayed so we’re not able to visit the beach. There was a pool, spa, sauna outside bbq area that we also didn’t utilize due to the weather. All the staff we came across were so helpful with guiding us toward places to go and things to do. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Good customer service is harder and harder to get these days, but they did a stellar job.

There was no air conditioning or fan in the room and only one very small crank window to open for fresh air so it got really stuffy even though the weather outside was cool. The vertical blinds in our room were very thin and the pool area was outside our rear windows so it was hard to get our room dark without the bright lights from the pool area shining through. It was difficult to find something we didn’t like about the property though compared to what we did like about it.

We had a room with a view, but the view was a distance from the beach. We had a third floor room with no pets in the vicinity. (This was excellent for us.). The sauna experience was clean and comfortable, the best sauna we ever had at a hotel. The hotel operated as a true resort - the pool was actually heated warm, chidren were restricted from the hot tub and sauna and the hours were from 10 am - 10 pm - no exceptions! The room was actually an apartment and was very spacious. The kitchen was fully equipped and also a good size. There were towels for the pool and in the sauna. In the lobby there were hot drinks - coffee, tea, apple cider and hot chocolate. Walking distance to the beach was not far. There was a DVD player and a good selection of DVDs. We had a wonderful time and certainly will stay the Grey Gull if and when we return to Ocean Shores. Thank you to our check in hostess and the very friendly and helpful staff!

Everything was great!

Oddly enough, what I liked most was that the chairs in the room were extremely comfortable. I am disabled and cannot actually sleep in a bed, only my spouse can. So, I had to put the two chairs together to sleep and they were so comfortable that I have never had that experience before. I slept like a baby!!

I did not actually get the room that was portrayed on the website as far as what I paid for. I was expecting a much larger suite than what I actually received and what I paid for.

It was very peaceful. We were able to relax and we were not too far from the beach. It rained the whole time we were there, so It was great watching out the window and reading a good book.

I would have loved a bigger fridge. The Kitchenette was advertised and everything met my expectations except the Fridge. We planned to cook our own meals and the fridge wasn't big enough to hold the things we brought like milk, condiments, vegetables etc. It held part of the food, and the rest was left in our cooler and we used ice to keep it cold.

The room was clean, the staff was exceptionally nice and helpful, and we have been coming for years to the Grey Gull and will continue to come back. Get a room with a kitchen, bedroom, and living room. It is like having your own condo for a week.

I didn’t like that it was 63 degrees instead of 73 degrees.

Hi there! Everytime we come to the Grey Gull it's fun for us! There is nothing missing for us..we love the atmosphere whatever it is! It feels as though it is home to us. The birds, the wind, the sunshine or clouds... doesn't matter! We can watch the Deer, go to the Sauna, pool, the beach..play games, be alone or together.. and don't forget the jacuzzi ! Its home, but it's a grand vacation. we have tried most of the other facilities...forget it, Nothing EVEN comes close! The staff is wonderful in every way to make our trip truly special. Also, We meet great people that feel the same! We know the Grey Gull to be the only place to stay! Kal and Di from Seattle

Nothing. But, Massage would be nice!

The apartment was clean and comfortable. The deck chairs were a cozy upgrade, and the massage chair in the living room was a nice bonus. This apartment was on the third floor, and the view was much better than the lower floors, because we could see over the trees/vegetation in the dunes between the Hotel and the beach. Wonderful view!

The TV remotes were challenging to understand, some printed instructions would have helped. The bathroom shower/tub needs some work. The tile grout and caulking needs to be redone, and the tub drains very slow. After 2 minutes in the shower, there is two inches of standing water.

The room layout was a one bedroom apartment with a combined living dining area that was spacious, and the furniture was tasteful and comfortable. Large windows that looked out over the pool and grounds that were well kept. Small balcony off the living room. A full kitchen was well supplied with essentials. The beach is beautiful! Lots of sand and gorgeous sunsets.

It did get a bit warm in the unit, be aware there is no air conditioning. A box fan was provided which we did use. It is a long walk to the beach but all properties in this area are set back this distance.

It was apartment style, so it had a stove, refrigerator, coffee pot, microwave, dishwasher and dishes. It was within walking distance to the beach. WiFi worked really well, usually free WiFi is spotty at best. It was pretty clean. The staff we dealt with were very nice and helpful. It is pet friendly, with a small daily deposit. Parking was available and close to our unit. Nice pet area for dogs to take care of their business, with bags for clean up and a trash can right there.

There was some construction going on, it was fairly loud the first day. Because of the construction our fireplace didn't work, they did try to fix it but couldn't. The unit was not reliant on the fireplace to stay warm so that was good. When picking up to go home we found cigarette butts in the bedroom trash (the room was supposed to be non-smoking) they were not from us, neither of us smoke cigarettes. The dining table was sticky, we tried to wash it but it was still sticky.... Maybe the varnish? The people in the unit above ours were loud and stomped around a lot.
