Questions about BWHALE guest house B&B

What time is check-in and check-out at BWHALE guest house B&B?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does BWHALE guest house B&B allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at BWHALE guest house B&B?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Is breakfast included at BWHALE guest house B&B?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does BWHALE guest house B&B have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does BWHALE guest house B&B have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

Can I check in late at BWHALE guest house B&B?

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.

How do I book BWHALE guest house B&B?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
