Roger is the best! Friendly, accommodating, and great conversation! The ladies that service the rooms are too good to us. And, the access to the beach is wonderful. South Beach has nothing on these guys. The rooms are being updated. The kitchenette was a blast, fully loaded so we could cook and fix whatever we wanted. Ask for whatever you... more

We booked into the Silver Gull based on all the rave reviews on Trip Advisor. We wish the reviews had noted more of the downside. The pluses: location right on the beach (walk out the door onto the sand can't be beat!), next to the fishing pier (great for my husband), covered parking (protection from sea spray), pleasant staff, spacious... more

I was nervous about the lack of a Web site -- I like to be able to poke around online and see photos before picking a hotel -- but Trip Advisor convinced me, and I'm so glad! We stayed in what I think might be the best room in the place -- 210 -- with a big deck right up... more

The motel was very convenient -right across walkway from pier!! Great OceanView!!! and the room...very spacious, new updates and the staff were excellent!! I would recommend this motel to anyone!!! more

Spent 4 days @ Silver Gull Motel (June 26 - 29) Everything was wonderful. View is spectacular from room 210. Enjoyed listening to Ocean sounds all night long - kept sliding doors open! Rooms have refrigerator, freezer, 3 burner stove, microwave. Great wooden walkway right to beach. Ocean Rescue stand is right there, so safe swimming! Loved the great housekeepers,... more

Travelled from Miami up the coast,with a side trip to inland South Carolina ,staying in 'Antibellum' mansions' and thoroughly enjoying the trip. Too much victoriana can be a bit overwhelming and the Silver Gull is a good antidote. To be able to park virtually beneath your room ,have access directly the beach and to be in walking distance of very... more

I have been going to the silver gull since I was 10, and I would not be any happier at the sunspree resort down the road!! You walk out of their door and you are on the sand. The rooms are clean, the staff is nice and every room has a great view!! Its worth the money to stay here!... more

We've stayed here several times now (all thanks to the helpful reviews on TripAdvisor) and it is by far one of the best values on the beach. The hotel - though old - is maintained well and is clean, the service is friendly and helpful, and you can't beat the beachfront views and private beach access! We love sitting out... more

My son has never visited the ocean before and we were only going to be in Wilmington for a few days so I decided to look for a place right on the beach to maximize our time. I did a lot of research, which included reading the reviews here. And boy were the reviews right!!!! It is an older place... more
