Plenty of on-site parking and easy access to/from the highway. Don't be discouraged by the age of the place. For the price range, it is excellent value for money."

The Whaler's Rest is exactly what you want in a motel. Well priced, clean, spacious, and the owners are very friendly.
The rooms are not fancy with designer fittings but that's not an issue because have everything you need: kettle, microwave, TV, tea & coffee, AC/Heating and, of course, beds. There is also free guest wifi and a breakfast service available. The bathrooms include a hair dryer and a daily towel replacement service (or you can opt to reuse your towels if you wish).
