We really had high hopes for this hotel. The accommodations were pretty average. I had thought that they may have leaned into the rich history of the hotel and area in the decor. Any personality and uniqueness portrayed by the exterior was lost in the rooms. In our first room the bedside lamps were falling apart and the dresser/tv stand was undersized. We upgraded to a larger room the next night but still felt the furnishings lacked the quality expected for the hotel. The shower renovation was honestly just poorly executed. The bottom floor of the shower was unevenly grouted which led to exposed sharp edges of the river rock finish. The rest of tile surround was improperly grouted and sealed. In the corners, grout was actually missing which allowed water to pour down behind the wall of the shower. The beds in both rooms were firm but serviceable. By far the most disappointing aspect of our stay was the pool. I had held out hope that the pool would be the one thing that would save the stay but it too was in a similarly poor state. The hot tub was neither hot nor did it have enough water in it to properly function. The water level was so low that the jets were exposed and operating more as fountains. The hot tub and pool were very dirty. Aside from numerous stains there was an accumulation of dirt and gravel at the bottom. Finally the tile grout around the entire perimeter of the pool was caked in algae. The pool and hot tub were clearly poorly maintained for a long period of time. When we brought the issues to the attention of hotel staff we were given $30 off our bill but assured there was no issue with maintenance or the shower. Sadly I think any of the nearby casinos would have provided a far better experience. Although the White House looks beautiful from the outside it has all the hallmarks of cheap flip that is poorly maintained. We unfortunately won't be returning.
