Do not recommend. Overall, a hugely disappointing stay at The Grey Gull - especially considering the high prices of their rooms. We had one pet with us, which is an additional +$25.00 a night. The upcharge seems absurd considering we were put in a pet-friendly room which smelled of pet urine, pet stains ALL OVER the 1989 carpet, and couch. The room was disastrously outdated. One can find cleaner, better condition furniture at Goodwill. In our room, there was a very large, tacky tapestry hanging over the fireplace with a bible verse. The front desk staff in the afternoon/evening, a young woman - was annoyed by questions regarding amenities. Be aware that you must ask staff to use the it, and then it has to be heated up for 10 minutes before one can enter. The pool is a nice amenity, but be advised that it is very loud at all times of day when the pool is open. Do yourself a favor, and spend your money elsewhere.

Mediocre at best

This hotel came highly rated on Hotels.com, and it wasn’t cheap but we booked based on trusting the guest reviews. It was a disappointment. Front office staff was very preoccupied at my attempt to check in, everything was not quite clean and the room was outdated and gross. I will say - there are a lot of amenities. But they were all old and crappy.

The property is dated, and that was apparent in the pictures. However, the unit smells like a nursing home. That nasty stale carpet/old food smell permeates the place. Maybe leave a can of Febreeze out? Also some maintenance items: missing/broken pull cord for the master bedroom ceiling fan, stains on the bathroom Formica and a badly torn screen on patio slider (hello bugs).
