This was the best little room I have stayed in south of Seaside. Great price point, very welcoming and instantly felt like a place I had been to previously that was welcoming me back. Will definitely be back to the Whale Inn.

Pet-friendly room, but located right on Hwy 101, so noisy, with traffic. Otherwise good, basic room, and property appears well-cared for.

Whale's Inn stay

Love this place. It.is one of our favorite places to stay. The only problem was the bedspread. It smelled like it hadn't been washed between guest staying. Otherwise, the place was great.

Uncomfortable bed

Everything was great, besides the bed. The bed was very uncomfortable and hard, we did not sleep at all and ended up with soar backs.

Great location but needs a tune up.

Had a good stay. Found a few things for improvement. The bathroom door squeaked and did not close easily. The door chain lock was broken. The door stop was hanging loose. One package of coffee with no filter for the pot was disappointing especially for a weeks stay.

Not bad place, as long as you don't need hot water

This little property is clean and was ok for the price if you don't mind cold showers. Ocean is across the highway and there is no ocean view but easy walk. Very disappointing that there was no hot water for showers or doing dishes. Only got barely warm, never hot. It's not a matter of warming up as we stayed 2 nights and never had hot water. Bathroom only has light in fan so fan runs if you want light on. Marijuana smell came in through fan several times and I couldn't turn off fan while in bathroom so had to deal with that awful smell due to neighbor smoking. Check in was easy.

Unless guests tell us of issues we are unable to fix them. Thanks for pointing out hot water. I will have maintenance take a look at this. We are installing a hot water loop so those at fathest end of property do not have to let water run for a long time to get hot. Regarding the smoking we are a non smoking property. Guests that violate this policy can be evicted. We just need people to let us know so we can address the issue. Thanks for the feedback.

The host called me about thirty minutes after I arrived and informed me my lock was broken. I was traveling solo and felt unsafe the entire time. When I left and came back, I had to use the hide a key that was very rusted and difficult to use, meaning I couldn’t put it back where it belonged when I left. The property manager then called me and made me feel like I inconvenienced her for her unsafe lock on my room since the door locked itself. Additionally, the smell of mildew was nauseating and I had to go out and buy air fresheners to try to cover it, which did not help. The one pro I will give it is for the price point the bed felt pretty comfortable

Not a place to stay with dogs

They maybe dog friendly but they knew about my dogs waited until the day after I checked in to text me saying they were going to charge me for the dogs because I did not inform them, even though I did? Might be dog friendly but not really just want more money :/
