We were amazed by the view and the location of the property, however a little disappointed in the renovations… the bathrooms need some attention with plumbing. Super inconvenient with zero towel hooks- the one decorative towel wrack is a menace and in the way. They give you 2 towels and they are thin and rough. For the price of this hotel- we expected higher end linens and a sink that drains, water pressure to be decent and have a place to hang your towel, maybe a gym? Bed was clean and comfortable, couch area was nice to hang out it. Very few surfaces to set anything on and the silliest thing of all was the fridge right next to the fireplace! If the fireplace was on, the fridge was hot. Also would’ve loved a ceiling fan. They did have a fan in the closet but we had to move so many things onto the floor to have a place to set it. The morning basket was a highlight for sure. Would be back here if it wasn’t so pricey…

Poor heating

The heater was hardly sufficient for the room. The heater would have been more appropriate in the bathroom where there was no heat at all. Do not stay here in the cooler months.

Wonderful stay.

I have always wanted to stay at White Water but unfortunately it was very disappointing. My expectation was high because of the room rates being higher than any other hotel options around. I thought you will get more an exclusive and exceptional experience. This is not any different than a good Cambria hotel but only polished from the outside and offer you “luxury” amenities such as Aesop hand soap, shampoo, lotion etc… that they also charge you for using them. They give a “breakfast basket” in the morning that includes coffee, orange juice and 2 small slices of banana bread. They have charged us $100 pet fee but we haven’t received any dog bed, bowl or treats that you usually get in a hotel that advertises themselves at this quality. They are “dog friendly” but they don’t allow dogs in the lobby area so you can only sit outside if you would like enjoy a drink or coffee. The rooms are very simple, they are not really made with good quality materials. The staff could have been more friendlier. I would say, have a look at other options before deciding only for the vibes that you see from outside of this hotel.
