The Water Tower Inn - BW Premier Collection
Kitchenettes, fireplaces and an indoor pool for winter
About this stay
Kitchenettes and fireplaces in family rooms set this hotel apart for a longer, self-catered-adjacent stay, and the indoor swimming pool, hot tub and fitness centre keep a winter visit comfortable regardless of the weather outside. The family-friendly restaurant serves American and international cuisine with vegetarian and gluten-free options, and breakfast runs to pancakes, cheese and fresh fruit alongside warm dishes. A 24-hour front desk, electric vehicle charging station and live music in the common areas round out the amenities, and the Northern Ontario Country Music Hall of Fame is a five-minute walk from the door. Sault Ste. Marie Airport sits about 18 km away, and the hotel's own dining room means a full evening rarely requires stepping back outside once checked in.

Our take
This suits families wanting a kitchenette and indoor pool combination for a multi-night winter stay, and couples looking for a genuine restaurant on site rather than a vending machine. The gluten-free breakfast options are a real plus for travellers with dietary restrictions. Anyone chasing a downtown walkable address should look at the waterfront hotels instead, since this sits closer to the airport corridor.
- ✓Request a fireplace room specifically for a winter stay, it is genuinely worth the small premium over a standard family room.
- ✓Eat at the on-site restaurant at least once for the gluten-free options, they are handled properly rather than as an afterthought.
- ✓Check for live music evenings at booking, the common area schedule varies and can make or break a quiet night.

Why guests love itFamily rooms with kitchenettes, spa baths and fireplaces set The Water Tower Inn apart from standard Sault Ste. Marie hotels. The indoor pool and hot tub cover cold evenings, and the family-friendly restaurant serves American and international dishes, useful when nobody wants to cook. A fitness centre is on site and the airport is about 18 km away. I would pick it for a multi-night winter stay with children.
