Great location. Loved the champagne splits and free water in the fridge. Easily accessible to everything in Avalon. Definitely take advantage of the luggage transportation before you head back to the mainland.

We had a Queen Room which was the equivalent to a cruise ship “cabin”! If you are claustrophobic don’t book the classic queen room!!! No sitting area, no closet, approx 2 ft around bed. Overcrowded with 2 persons.

Thanks for choosing Hotel Atwater on your recent visit to Catalina, Roy. We are disappointed that you were not satisfied with your room. When we remodeled the property, we kept the rooms at their original size to preserve the property's historical integrity. Our Avalon and Atwater King rooms are larger. We hope we can welcome you on a future stay.

Atwater was so easy to find and get to from the ferry. It was right next to the shops and restaurants so very convenient. It was also very clean and nice, and felt fancier than most hotels. The employees were very kind and helpful as well. We would definitely stay here again! Our room was quite small, but we expected that based on the pictures and other reviews. The only other thing was that we had no view. I was thinking we would, as we were on the 3rd floor, but our window faced a small open area and a wall.

This property is fully renovated with beautiful finishes. It is centrally located within steps to everything in Avalon. You receive a room credit that you can use for breakfast at the cafe next door, which was not only convenient but was of great quality. The only suggestion I have for the hotel is to add more hooks in the bathrooms. I had two rooms for our family and since room cleaning only occurred upon request (which was fine), we had towels hanging everywhere in our rooms...on furniture, the shower walls, etc. there wasn’t even a hook to hang a hand towel. We loved our stay and would definitely stay here again, but please add towel hooks in the bathroom!!!!
