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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
