Older property but interior was clean and functional. The exterior is need of an update. Only concern was we couldn't open any of the windows to get some fresh air. No air conditioning so likely would be quite hot on a warmer day. A bit pricey but nice to have a kitchen and sitting area.

We stayed at the Whale's Tail for two nights. The suite had a bit of a musty, cigarette smoke smell, with lots of stains on the carpet. The bathroom door knob was very loose, as was the toilet seat. The door knob assembly is held together with two screws and both were loose, with one of them almost completely backed out. The toilet seat was the same, causing it to slide around all over the place. I had a multi-tool in the car, so I was able to fix the seat and door knob. In the bedroom, on the night stand, was some granola and crumbs from a previous guest's snack. How do you miss that? How do you miss the toilet seat and bathroom door knob almost falling off? Unfortunately the worst was yet to come. In the morning there was some water on the bathroom counter around the sink. I thought my daughter must have made a bit of a mess when she washed up the night before. I cleaned it up, and I didn't think anything of it. We went out for the day and when we returned in the evening there was a big puddle of water on the bathroom counter. Closer inspection revealed that even though the faucet was off, there was water dripping from the handle down the backside and pooling on the counter. Everything on the counter was soaked, including my canvas and leather toiletry bag and all of it's contents. I tried to manipulate the handle to stop the water, and thought that I had done so, but there was a pool of water on the counter the next morning also.

Just OK
Although the room was clean and comfortable, the outside of the building looked a bit dumpy with rotting siding, no outside light fixtures and a shared, dirty bbq. A little bit of maintenence could go a long way. Considering the nightly rate, i would expect more
