Waterville Historic Hotel

My sister and I enjoyed a pleasurable and enchanting stay at this remarkable historic hotel. Our host, Dave, was cordial, gracious, and informative about Waterville’s history. I can only think the negative comments posted earlier stem from a less than courteous guest. We appreciated the complementary light continental breakfast and reliable wifi. The furnishings are very basic in keeping with the property’s authenticity, but we had everything we needed. It was our first visit here and we plan to come again!

The Waterville Hotel is an absolute gem! We loved staying at this lovingly restored and maintained historic hotel in Waterville, WA and only wished we could have stayed longer. It's clean, quiet and comfortable, and we were surprised at just how inexpensive it was too: no big-chain hotel could give us this kind of experience, ever. Dave is an impeccable host, very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and very well informed. We appreciated the care and attention to detail that he and Amy have taken to make the Waterville Hotel a point of interest and haven for the weary traveller. There's a main floor lounge in which to relax but also a sweet little library upstairs. The hotel is full of interesting artifacts, memorabilia, photographs and books, presented in an authentic and understated wa

Our first stay at the Waterville Historic Hotel this week was wonderful. The decor is warm, inviting, eclectic and tasteful. One could browse the furniture alone for quite some time. We were a party of four that spent quite a few hours on the porch sharing coffee, friendship, conversation, and the delightful flavor of small town life. Locals waved and passersby on the highway as well. We seemed to belong there even if for only a few days. The proprietors, Dave and Amy, ensured our stay was accommodating by their attention to detail and offerings of information regarding food and local sites to visit. All in all, we can't wait for our next visit to this hotel and town.

Dave and his wife run an amazing historic hotel. Meticulously maintained and operated, the care and compassion is apparent in every room. I stayed in one of the more basic rooms, queen bed with sink and the washroom (replete with a claw foot tub and modern shower) was just steps away. Very quiet and peaceful. Dave's enthusiasm for motorcycles and adventure travellers was an added bonus and we could have likely talked all night, sharing stories. He is also very informed on surrounding attractions which was an added bonus. An excellent staging area for multi-day trips as well. Waterville itself does not have lots of amenities...so getting there early to get groceries or food at the local restaurants is a good idea.

The current owners, Dave and Amy, have maintained and improved this beautiful old building with just enough modernization to make it comfortable by today's standards. The beds were excellent and the shared shower was big and had lots of hot water and water pressure. Some rooms come with bathtubs but no showers. The lobby had an amazing collection of antiques in keeping with the buildings heritage. As well, antiques were scattered throughout the building and grounds. The weather was mild when i stayed so not sure how it would be without air conditioning in the hot summer months. They pretty much roll up the sidewalks in Waterville at night so not much to see or do there and dining is virtually non-existent except for a small tavern and a bakery.||||If you like clean, comfortable old
