The Silver Gull isn’t the newest or fanciest place at Wrightsville Beach but, it’s centrally located, very clean and better amenities than you might expect for the price. I.e. covered, free, parking and an elevator. This was a treat considering there are only three floors! The staff is very friendly and responsive to requests. MH, Raleigh, NC
