The front desk clerks were amazing and nice! The best place for your money hands down. Nice pool and jacuzzi. The rooms are very modern and very nice and quiet. The view was amazing and only a few minutes from the beach. I would definitely stay again!

So thanks to other reviews of this motel here on Tripadvisor I went ahead and booked it. We stayed just one night but I was super impressed with the beds, the comfy pillows, the cleanliness, and the awesome view from our room (we were in 379). My only suggestion is that if you book, book one of the last 4... More

Stayed 2 nights at The Whaler and had a great time. We had a 3rd floor room with great views of the beach! The hotel was very clean with easy access to the beach and walking distance to the shops and restaurants in Nye Beach. My kids enjoyed the heated pool and nearby park. The staff were friendly and informative... More

Stayed here over Memorial Day weekend in a ground floor double queen room with my dog. The room was perfectly acceptable, including two beds (which to my untrained eye looked more like doubles than queens), a sitting table with two chairs, desk, flat screen TV, refrigerator, small coffee maker, and full bath with the sink and dressing area separate from...

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
