How to make sure you get the whirlpool room
- Book the Deluxe king whirlpool by name, not a standard king or queen.
- Tub rooms are usually a small share of the rooms. Book early for weekends and holidays.
- Call Whaleback Inn the day before on +1231-256-9090 and ask them to confirm the room has the whirlpool.
- Ask whether the tub is in the bedroom or the bathroom, and whether it fits two.
