The location of The Whitewater is excellent, right across from the beach and walking trails along the coast. The staff was good and helped with a great dinner recommendation and reservation. Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious, great bathroom. However no AC and only small window for ventilation. When we pulled up to the property, we noticed plastic tarps on the roof in several places. Leaks? From the outside, most hotels along the strip look pretty much the same so I’m not sure about the big price difference. Other hotels were about 2/3’s less. Breakfast in morning was brought to our door and had excellent coffee and fresh oj. Pastries not great. Nice hotel, but for the price I expected a bit more.

Cambria is a great little area. Think super low frills. White Water has great service. No A/C so took little time to cool the room off for the kids going into the evening, but then we were fine. Erewhon water was only option in the fridge - little excessive and unnecessary. I’m all for nice perks but $8/water wasn’t what we needed when there are no stores around and traveling with 3 teens. Bikes available was a nice perk but be careful as you can only ride on the road, not the boardwalk. Found some bugs in the room but that was likely more due to being so close to the beach and having the door open from lack of A/C. Front desk guy was amazing. Picnic basket in AM nice touch but also necessary as few things around without driving. Cute place. Would’ve been nicer if each room had a seat or two outside - especially as it gets hot during the day. Teens thought WW was just Ok. Cambria beautiful but sleepy. Wouldn’t stay more than 2 days. We did one overnight and it was enough.

I gave this place 5 stars, overall, they truly deserve it, I’ll start with a few negatives. I called about 10 times over two days to confirm we were bringing our dog and never got an answer. There is no AC unit, may be an issue for some guests. Also, the booking photos show a sliding glass door to the beach, but the hotel is actually across the street. Our window faced the water, but it’s not a direct walk-out beach property.
Now for the positives, the staff (all of them) were amazing. The rooms are bungalow-style and very spacious. The hotel is pet-friendly with a $100 fee. check-in/check-out was easy. The check-in area feels cozy and homey, with couches, chairs, books, and games available. They offer beer, wine, adult beverages (even adult options for coffee), plus a kitchen and outdoor fireplace area.
The hotel is directly across the street from the beach about a 2-min walk to the water. The room was large and well-stocked with a mini fridge, huge comforters, bathrobes, slippers, a fan, fireplace, and sitting chair. There are many additional amenities available for a fee. In the morning, they hand deliver a basket with croissants, cinnamon rolls, coffee, orange juice, and champagne, a really nice touch. There’s also an ice maker on-site.
Parking spaces are small, so be cautious if you have a lifted truck or extended rims.
The area itself is very nice. The hotels along the coastline are set up similarly, facing north and south, so no walk on beach from room. Would recommend

Yes the room was in good shape. However, there was no place to sit down or a table. There was a banquet on the side of the room, but it was the only place to put your suitcases. The light fixture between the two beds, had bare bulbs x 2 to read by. Bright and in your face. No way one could read with someone else in the other bed. The light would keep them up. Made no sense. The shower bled water onto the floor and one can see where the paint and tile have been restored multiple times.
Sorry to say we won't be staying there again.

While premises were tidy and clean, the decor was
In the style of IKEA and room components and fittings not well thought out. Low water pressure and unstable hot water supply made for a bit of a rough shower. The four ocean facing rooms, of which we had one, had a lovely view but the rest of the rooms featured view windows to the parking lot. We did not attempt to try the outdoor bath area due to the cool weather but it would be unusable on any day due to low height of the hedge that offered no privacy.

The “featured breakfast” was limited to average pastries and coffee- along with a miniature bottle of low cost sparkling wine.

On the positive side, the staff could not have been more pleasant and accommodating, while the lobby reception area was particularly welcoming.

The bottom line is that it was vastly overpriced for the actual experience received. It’s quite obvious that this facility was created from combining two older seaside motels, with DIY renovation.

We stayed 1 night in September. It was a hot day and found the room to be quite warm when we checked in and they gave us a fan. A ceiling fan would be beneficial in the small room. The beds were comfortable and the room was nicely decorated but small so our suitcases took up most of the room. The front desk had a lovely lady who checked us in and recommended a great restaurant in the area. The area has nice beaches but unswimmable. Great walk on the boardwalk and wonderful sunset

Absolutely darling hotel with the most friendly staff. We especially enjoyed the bikes that were available and the picnic baskets delivered to our room each morning. We had the most lovely stay!

The two ladies during the check in process were amazing. They truly know how to receive in guests and make you feel like you’re coming to visit family.

Charming and effortlessly stylish, the White Water Inn delivers on every boutique detail. The cottage-chic décor creates a relaxed, coastal vibe that’s both elevated and inviting. Beds are incredibly comfy, and the surprise standout? The cocktails—impressively crafted for a small hotel. The breakfast basket with fresh pastries and mimosas adds a thoughtful, indulgent touch to your morning. And the fire pits overlooking the ocean? Perfect for winding down with a drink while watching the sunset. A cozy, classy gem on the coast.

Staff at check-in was great, gave us a quiet room as requested and sweetly gifted us a bottle of bubbles to celebrate our anniversary. Bed/linens/pillows were super comfy and the breakfast baskets were wonderful.

The people that work there are so lovely and the views are unbeatable. The bed was one of the most comfortables I have come across. Plus the detail of the morning basket delivered to your door was amazing. I can't wait to come back again!

The morning delivery of a picnic basket with hot coffee, fresh orange juice and sparkling wine to make mimosas and fresh pastry from a French bakery in Cambria exceeded expectations. The room was clean and toiletries were high end. Large walk in shower. Robes, sandals, beach towels and beach blanket were provided. Daily housekeeping. Overall would highly recommend.

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.

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.

We stayed in a charming ocean view studio/cottage across from Moonstone beach for a few nights in December. The rooms are located across two adjacent properties - you will either stay in the site where the lobby is located or need to take a very short drive to the property next door.

Our room was spacious and well-appointed. I enjoyed the coastal Californian decor and thoughtful touches, like a basket of Erewhon snacks for purchase, a retro Smeg mini-fridge, the cozy electric fireplace, and the Aesop toiletries. The hotel charged $17/night (plus taxes) for a breakfast basket with fresh orange juice, local coffee, and pastries (delivered to your room in the mornings), WiFi, overnight parking, and bike rentals. We didn't rent the bikes, but there was a fleet of cute beach cruisers on site.

The area is quiet and sleepy, even during the holiday season. The beachfront hotels in Cambria are mostly all located along a dark stretch of road, a mile away from the downtown area. The roads are not well illuminated at night, so be careful walking or driving after the sun goes down.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay - it was a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. The only reason I am not giving them 5 stars is because the Orbitz booking site said breakfast for our specific room was included, but I still had to pay the extra amenity fee and taxes during check-in.

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;)
