I had another wonderful stay at the Silver Gull Motel, and I can't recommend it enough! The large rooms have private balconies with stunning views, plus, the staff is genuinely nice. I did notice some cleanliness issues in the bathroom and kitchen appliances that could use a deep clean, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it's a great place for families with fantastic amenities, but some areas of service could improve.

My stay at Silver Gull Motel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and clean, and being so close to the beach was a huge bonus. The staff made me feel welcomed and went out of their way to accommodate us. Just be aware that there’s some street construction going on, which might make things a bit tricky when exiting, but overall, it’s such a great value for the price considering the location and amenities offered.

This motel has basic amenities but is located right on the beach, making it a great spot for beach lovers. The room was clean and had all the essentials, though it did have a musty smell and some rust. Parking was private and convenient, and the staff was friendly and accommodating, but the water in the room had an unpleasant odor and the shower pressure was low.

I had a wonderful experience at The Silver Gull Motel. The location can't be beat, being right on the beach and next to the fishing pier. The rooms are not fancy but are kept very clean, and the staff is incredibly helpful. The kitchenette in the room was a nice touch, but if you're looking for amenities like a pool or a restaurant, you'll have to look elsewhere. Overall, it's a great value for money, particularly considering how close it is to the beach.

Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. I enjoyed the spectacular ocean views and the sunrises from my balcony were definitely a highlight.
