Silver Gull as always - Friendly front office staff, hard working cleaning crew, great parking and the ocean right outside the door. Our stay had zero hiccups. I look forward to a return visit soon.

Great customer service! They were very accommodating. Having stairs from the beach was amazing and the wrap around porch gave great views. There was plenty of space inside and on the balcony! We would definitely stay again.

This is our 3rd time staying here. We love the oceanfront room. The hotel has a walkway to the beach. The staff are all excellent. It is reasonably priced and having a kitchenette makes easy to save some money on eating out every meal

Great throwback Motel! Location can't be beat. Right on the beach and next to The Pier. Very friendly staff. Went fishing on the Pier with my family and laid on the beach all day. Right in the heart of Wrightsville Beach. We'll be back.

Work being done on roof meant huge, loud machine impacts immediately above my head. I had to ask to move rooms. No discount was offered and I wasn’t given any warning about ongoing repair work. NOT OK

So nice to be pleasantly surprised- it was grad week at UNC-W so the hotels were super high price wise. Got a reasonable weekday rate at Silver Gull at the beach and was so happy I took a chance. Large room with lots of space, was nice to have a full size fridge at the beach. Great views from my oversized balcony. Parking is included but it was a tight squeeze for my Camry so if you have an oversized vehicle I would definitely call the hotel to check on the arrangements. Weekends also might be a tighter squeeze as parking is limited. Weekends will get more outside noise for all the cars cruising Jonny Mercer pier parking lot. Will definitely stay again just for the views alone.

The Silver Gull is a true throwback motel, in the best way. It is located directly on Wrightsville beach, NC and every room has at least a partial view of the ocean. Our room (#315) was awesome...with a wraparound porch and a full glass wall view of the Atlantic and the beach, just steps away! Also includes a kitchenette, with stove, microwave, refrigerator and sink There is guest parking directly under the motel at street level and convenient to all beach side communities and downtown Wilmington, as well. The management was responsive and friendly and we could not have been happier. We will most definitely be back to the Silver Gull
