We had a 1st floor room with a king bed and a sleeper sofa for our son. The room was very basic, no frills. It was extremely clean and spacious, though. There was a path to the beach around the corner from our room. Hotel is within walking distance to some shops and restaurants, although we drove due to the... More

We had a great time at the beach while staying at the whaler motel. Nothing fancy but worked for us. Next to the beach and all of the rooms have balconies. Really appreciate that it is a non smoking motel and pet friendly. Our dogs love the beach. The weather was great over the weekend we were there. You don't... More

Here are the problems we experienced at The Whaler: 1) When I called I explained to the lady who was setting up our reservation that it was my wife's birthday. I told her the type of room we were looking for and she said she would give us the end room on the 3rd floor because "from there you can... More

Oh how I love to look out at the Pacific Ocean and watch the waves roll in from the convenience of my room. And if that's not enough, there are chairs on the patio on the balcony of my room, where one can truly enjoy the outdoor view. It's not just my room that has this fantastic view, every room... More

My husband and I stayed at The Whaler recently during a weekend trip down the Oregon Coast. The staff was friendly, rooms were clean, liked that they had free WIFI and we really liked that it was dog friendly. We stayed on the 2nd floor, ocean side, and views were amazing! The only downside was our room was a little... More

My husband and I were planning a trip to the west coast from Texas and decided to book a room at the Whaler Motel because of the good reviews. We were not disappointed! Our room was spotless and the view was incredible! The beach is just steps away. The front desk ladies were wonderful to us and were knowledgeable about... More

The whaler is a nice motel on the beach, with clean rooms and a terrible front desk lady named Karen. She is rude, unaccommodating and hostile. We called ahead and got approved for a noon check-in. When we arrived at 12:20 Karen argued and told us our room wasn't ready. She became irritated when we asked for another room -... More

We had upper floor rooms, which looked out to the ocean and the beach. The beach was just across the road. The King bed was very comfortable, and the place was very clean. It was quiet except for the sound of the ocean waves.There was coffee making facility in the room. It was really good value as breakfast was included... More

Picked this hotel for our family weekend stay based on pool and continental breakfast. My kids loved the pool. The room was very clean, beautiful view of ocean, quick trail down to the beach, and great location next to a fun city park for my kids and short walk to great restaurants. At high tide, the beach is pretty limited... More

We stayed here last June when we flew in for a wedding. After reading the reviews I booked our room. We were on the second level ocean side. What a lovely place! Even if it rained the whole time. Nice and clean, very quiet and we enjoyed the pool and spa which we had all to ourselves. Wish it had... More
