The property was very nicely updated and centrally located. The staff was friendly and helpful. The perks were great with bellman at the ferry to collect your luggage and $20 credit for food each day. The score is not 5 stars only because the room was a bit tight and the view was a white wall to the building next door. If i could give 4 1/2 stars, I would!

Atwater was a nice conveniently located hotel with a beautiful colonial feel. The best part was the bottles of champagne- which was a great touch. Jake at the front desk was from England and interning at the hotel - was very nice and helpful. It was my daughter’s birthday and upon requesting- they sent up chocolates and a signed card. The rooms are very small but worked out for our mother daughter trip. Would stay here again because of the location.

Person who was supposed to meet us at the dock left work early. We had to walk from the dock to the hotel with our luggage. While it was not an extremely long distance, the expectation from the hotel was that someone would meet us when we disembarked to handle our luggage.

Great, Great Hotel

Great location, modern but vintage interior is really great, starting at the lobby and carrying throughout the property. Room was small but comfy and clean (great bed & pillows). Every employee we encountered was genuinely friendly and helpful. Very personable service. We loved it and highly recommend it.
