What guests say
8.5 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 170 guest reviews
The Gull Oceanside Inn & Motel earns consistent praise for its unbeatable beach-front location, charming atmosphere, and generally clean, comfortable rooms at a reasonable price. However, noise is a recurring concern — thin walls, loud guests in common areas, and a nearby train running through the night can disrupt sleep, and minor housekeeping lapses have been noted. Guests who can tune out the noise will find a relaxed, well-situated retreat steps from the ocean.
