Book Hoquiam hotels

Hot tub never working, saw carpet beetles. However, really enjoy a lot about the Polynesian and will come back.

Great room and staff is very hospitable

Overall, the hotel has a great location, nice amenities, and a well-maintained property. The staff were friendly and the place has a pleasant overall atmosphere. That said, a few things felt inconsistent with expectations. At check-in we were asked to sign a document listing fairly high damage charges for various items. After that, it was surprising to enter a room with visible wear—scuffed walls and what looked like a watermark on the ceiling from a past leak. Since I work in property management, I documented the room condition right away, but it wasn’t the best first impression given the strict damage policy. We also booked a dog-friendly suite, but were told our dog couldn’t be left alone in the room and had to accompany us whenever we left the hotel. For a pet-friendly room, that felt a bit restrictive and could be challenging for some travelers. The property itself is clean and the staff were polite, but there are more rules and potential fees than I’ve seen at similar hotels (for example, charges for lost pool towels). There’s also a blanket ban on any marijuana products. While no-smoking policies make sense, the rule seemed broad—especially in Washington where non-smoking medical CBD products are legal. Overall, it’s still a lovely property and we enjoyed the location and amenities. Now that we understand the policies, we’d simply plan differently next time.

We have been to Ocean Shores many times over the last 22 years. In the past we have stayed at other hotels that are very close by. This was our first stay at the Grey Gull due to others were full. Turns out this one was way more reasonably priced then the others and it was on a clam dig weekend. The room was nice and even had a separate bedroom which I did not notice when I booked it. This will be where we stay in future visits to Ocean Shores. Thank you, Don

Wonderful place! Any wait to go back!

I’ve had great experience here before. I did however found the room I got this time to be not as clean and squared away as well as it was before - eg the bed was made a bit messy and I found what I believe was blood on the bathroom floor. I also did have soon be trouble with my door not shutting and locking properly but they took care of it the best way they can relatively fast, which I’m very grateful for. I believe this is a local family run business and do like them a lot. Great place to stay at a reasonable price.
