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.

Recently updated, very clean. Excellent location. Single story (no stairs), fire pit with fireplaces in-room. Boutique hotel is one of the best in the area. Sunsets every day. Coffee and juice in your room every morning.

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.

This property is right across the beach which makes it worth your stay . The club house was in a different block. Parking was in front of our stay which was convenient.

Cambria is a very friendly town, the view from the room and lobby is so beautiful and can’t describe with words. Just the ocean view room will be kinda noisy during the midnight cuz the sound insulation of the room is not that good:) ppl that’s sensitive to noise or sounds maybe can choose the room in the middle and cross the road, walk to the amazing seaside. The pastry and orange juice for breakfast are the best I’ve ever had in Cali;)

This stay was a dream. From the complimentary little breakfast basket to the ollaliberry hot toddy in the evening by the fire pit, everything was wonderful. The staff was always so wonderful and gave us many recommendations to eat. Took morning and evening strolls right across the street at moonstone beach. The front desk even let us know when sunset would be so we would not miss it. Its conveniently located and a great stay if your going to Hearst castle just 10 minutes away. We will most definitely be back
