    We were a group of 12 in 4 different rooms and we all agreed that this was a great find. It is…read moreacross the street from the beach access. The beach was clean and not very crowded. (Some people in our group went to Carolina beach last year and they said it felt like a dive bar and Wrightsville Beach was much nicer. ) The sandwich shop next door had decent prepared sandwiches, coffee, and alcohol. We also had a good dinner at Oceanic across the street. The pool was very nice and never very busy. Our rooms were clean and the place was quiet (except for footsteps above). Each suite is individually owned so there was variability in the kitchen set up (e.g., full-sized fridge vs smaller, oven vs toaster oven, high table vs regular table) and decor of some units is more updated than others. Also, my unit had blackout drapes but others didn't. They also had beach chairs, beach towels, and sand toys available to use. WiFi was fast enough to upload pictures to social media but was slow for more data-heavy tasks. Breakfast is available in the lobby starting at 7:30. There are no tables to eat in the lobby but they have trays so that you can take the food back to your room. They had fresh fruit, juices, cold cereal, instant oatmeal, instant grits, packaged pastries, coffee (no decaf), and tea. Taphne and Steven were extremely nice and very helpful. Our reservations were complicated and changed at least twice and they were very accommodating. We booked directly (instead of booking dot com) and Taphne gave us a discount.

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable of the area! Continental breakfast was provided every morning in the lobby. The staff was friendly and helpful in advising places in which to eat and ways to get to our destination. The room was clean and quaint with a nice small & functional kitchen. The suite had two rooms, bathroom and kitchen. There was an ocean view and a nice balcony with a view of the Atlantic Ocean. Across the street was the Oceanic seafood restaurant, would recommend that to any traveler in the area. The continental breakfast was also quality. The options included boxed cereal, juices, breakfast bars, and fruit. The coffee was hand batched each morning and bags delivered to the rooms. The staff was always friendly in the morning, greeting and advising the people staying!

    This Hotel is over rated and discriminant because of their location. Yes, the hotel has been…read moreupdated, however, they do not address complaints regarding house keeping, discriminant employee behaviors at check in or management/front desk behavior. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone seeking to book at Wrightsville Beach, NC. I stayed at this hotel for over a week in 2025. When I had a confirmed booking a week ago, however, I was within the rebooking cancellation range of time. I called the front office, to seek available dates for the time I was in NC and was willing to fill any dates available that the had while I am flexible. I had a confirmed booking the prior week, however, when I called totry and book a new reservation for a few days while in NC, the from desk person said that I was banned from booking due to noise from my previous booking I di online and stated noise complaints from a "service dog" in 2025. That is complete false lie. On my intial booking, I booked my stay and prior to checking in I brought my " service dog" certification to the front desk. A 4.5 Pount Yorkie who is CERTIFIED as a SERIVE DOG. Upon, checking in, the Manager, questioned this, and the first morning I was away from my Yorkie who is CERTFIED in Allergy/Sezuire Detection, the Manager called me and stated a noise complaint. The hotel was mostly empty, however, I addressed this immediatly and thereafter took my Yorkie with me on the beach each day therafter. During my stay, the GM David-? was very discriminant, and called me to let me know that my dog had barked a few times around 11:00 am while I had gone to the store. I immediatly returned and let him come to the room and investigate. I had changed my dog's food prior to my stay and he barked while i was away possibly due to the ingrediants of the new BLUE BUFFALLO food. There after, I took my 4.5 pound Yorkie to the beach with me each day. The GM or Mananger mentioned that it was the housekeeper who mentioned the noise. Housekeeping never even came to my room, however, when I called the front desk to get new sheets related to bugs on my pillowcases, the GM/Manager came to my room and I helped change the sheets after he inspected the house keepers work. When I check out of my room, I placed a THANK YOU card with a $100 tip for the guy General Manager/Manager hoping that he would accept my appreciation and change his judgement of the CHARACTER he ahd of me. Fast forward, I booked a room last week online for a 7 day stay, I had no problems when I called the front desk and spoke with 'Kathy", however when she had to look deeper at what was available today June/15th, 2026, she called me back and stated that I was BANNED as a customer to book any future stay. Probably, the Manager she consulted with while he was working remembered my lasy stay, Which was nothing to be affected to me staying there agian. Total discrimination because the Manager's decision from my previous stay. My room was completely impeccable when I check out of the hotel lasy year,I had no issues except that I needed sheets to replace and called the front dek to change myself. But because the Manager questioned my 'Service dog" he created a scenario/narrative against me. I do not think that their management will continue with this discrimination. I did nothing wrong and when asked about complaints, they have nothing to prove. This was an inside discrimination from the Manager. All of the employees except the Manager, Jeanie and Kathy were awesome. Kathy was awesome lat week when I needed to reschedule until she had to ask her "Manager" about dates available. I have been flexible and told the hotel that I would fill the dates that were open. Total discrimination from the Manager-David if that is his name.

    A great location if your looking for east beach access but if your not pressed I would choose and…read morealternate option. For the price it's not worth it. I read the reviews and saw that it was very clean, as traveling with small children who require lots of toys etc I opted for the convenience of location. Worst decision even though the amenities etc you still have to think about other patrons the motel attracts. I quickly learned how thin the walls were and so loud music playing all night , after being in the water and sun I got zero sleep. Everyone leaves at 11 and only option advised was to call the police. Originally gave this place 4 stars but now dropping it to 1 as no matter how much fun you have if you don't get any rest you question if it was even worth it. Next time I'll just stick to the wagon and pay for parking

    Silver Gull is certainly the look and feel of a motel. Not nearly a four star stay but maybe a two…read moreor three star stay. The rooms with two beds are more like full size beds not queens. The balcony furniture is plastic and uncomfortable so we dragged out the room chairs which made balcony sitting way more comfortable. I do have to say the entire staff there are very nice and very courteous! Even having said that I would stay again because of the ocean views, at least our room, and the location to direct beach access. One note to make the parking is limited to only one vehicle per room and its tight. If you leave the hotel for dinner out in your car you very well may not get a space in the hotel and will have to pay to park your car overnight. I don't know why they just don't mark each parking space correlated to you room number because they do give you a car tag for your car at check in.???

    Had a very solid 4 night stay here at the Springhill while visiting family. The staff (for the most…read morepart) were very friendly and helpful towards us. Got checked in quickly and our room was nice and clean. Didn't see anything out of the ordinary or concerning in the room. The pillows were a little too soft for my liking but nothing to get upset over, bed was comfortable otherwise. Breakfast was very good; oatmeal, pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, and more. Everything was nice and hot and tasted great very pleased with the breakfast. Staff greeted us each time we entered or exited the lobby. The reason for the 1 star loss: -The elevators smell, I don't know what it is by my wife and I both noticed it every time we got into either elevator, it's not pleasant and we were in a hurry to get out. -When we came back to the hotel on night 2 our toilet was having issues. It wouldn't fully flush, it just very slowly drained down and then kept a really low water level. I called the front desk and told them, I advised them there was nothing in the toilet just water but we needed it looked at as we couldn't use it. They said the guy that could fix it had stepped out and would be back in about an hour. Fast forward 2 hours later and nothing. We call again and are told he didn't come back, the night audit guy could fix it wait for him in a couple hours. The night audit guy never came so I went downstairs. I asked if he was night audit and he said yeah and asked if I was the guy with the toilet issue. I told him yes, he said he had no idea how to fix it but handed me a plunger and said I was welcome to try to fix it myself. Not the best customer service I've had.
