Top Whale Viewing Platform Hotel Reviews

Cosy and sunlit house just a short walk to the beach and shops.

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located, great host and outstanding communication made it an easy stay."

Quest Portland

8/10 Good

"The motel was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The staff were friendly and the location was convenient. Overall, it was a decent place to stay, but considering the price we paid, I expected a little more. There wasn’t anything particularly wrong with the motel, but I don’t feel the standard quite matched the price. At a lower rate, I’d have no hesitation recommending it, but for the price, I think there are better-value options available."
