We had a lovely time at the newly refurbished Whaler. Everything was new and felt great. Excellent in-room amenities: large coffee station, real glasses (not plastic), lovely table and chairs for in-room relaxing, great balconies for staring at the ocean. The only two issues: no artwork on the walls yet. And the construction crew on the expansion started too early one morning (earlier than the 8:00 start described). But the hotel made an adjustment to address that issue - which was very reasonable. Would highly recommend for a nice relaxing and super ocean-accessible trip.

The hotel staff was super friendly and efficient. The room was clean and very nice. I had everything I needed, including a fan for white noise at night. I normally would leave the slider open at night and hear the ocean, but I was on the main floor and didn’t feel comfortable leaving it open. The views were amazing! Great little patio and very quick walk across the streetto the beach. Construction going on was a little loud and distracting as we were only a few doors down from. It’ll be nice when they’re done to have it quiet and also have the lobby open. I’m not sure if the rate I received was reflective of the current construction and status of the hotel as it wasn’t super cheap! I would recommend this place though.

The hotel has been going through a renovation, and they have done a good job. Since we requested a king size bed, the room has only partial ocean view. However, most of the rooms have ocean-front view. We saw whales during our walks outside of the hotel. There are many good points about the hotel, clean, friendly staff, and close to Nye Beach where local restaurants and shops are located. The only complain I have is the room AC is a wall unit (I was told that only few rooms have AC units) and the light from the AC really disturbed my sleep as I need a dark room.

This was a really nice hotel and we plan on going back. Everything looked clean, fresh, and new. The only downfall was the breakfast truck which was expensive for what they offered.

Awesome motel. Will be back
Wow. The Whaler has stepped their game up. Top to bottom remodel. The staff was super friendly. The one lady even gave us some water and salt water taffy at checkout for our drive back. Great location across the street from the beach. Walking distance to the harbor and NYE beach. Wish we stayed longer. Will be back for sure
