We have been to Ocean Shores many times over the last 22 years. In the past we have stayed at other hotels that are very close by. This was our first stay at the Grey Gull due to others were full. Turns out this one was way more reasonably priced then the others and it was on a clam dig weekend. The room was nice and even had a separate bedroom which I did not notice when I booked it. This will be where we stay in future visits to Ocean Shores.
Thank you, Don

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here. The first time we stayed upstairs, the unit was solid. We chose a bottom floor this time. The dog enjoyed looking outside, we did too. Tile in bathroom was loose, it made me uncomfortable.

We stayed with our 2 dogs and it was very nice for the pets, being on the ground floor with easy access for them go potty out the sliding glass door or front door. Quiet and close to shopping was a plus.
