Disliked: Amenities
we reserved a king sweep with Jacuzzi and pullout couch. I had called and spoken to the front desk and they told me they would hold that type of room when we got there. They explained that they gave them them to someone else even though the note was on my folio.. They gave us another room with two twin beds and a $20 discount. The rum had no hangers, no soap or shampoo, the shower had a chunk in it. We also went to the indoor pool. The pool area itself was nice, but there were literally no lights on and we could not find where to turn them on because it was so dark. I will never stay at this motel again.

During an off season stay, there were very few visitors and they were in the process of doing some renovations. In spite of that, everything was in working order and there were no noises or construction disturbance. The restaurant and bar at the Whaler was very popular and the food was excellent. The stir fry in particular, and then the wings special on Sunday night, just excellent!
