The rooms were a little small but very nicely decorated and efficient and comfortable for two adults. You can't beat the location, one block off the main street with lots of restaurants, shopping and beach.

Our experience was great, would stay here again. It was so nice that the staff was waiting by the boat when we got in, to take our luggage back to hotel for us for free, so we didnt have to carry it around until check in. loved the service.

Came for 2 nights, loved it, Booked 1 more night!

Came here for two nights stay with my family and this hotel fit exactly everything we needed. Room was quiet and comfortable for a family of 4. We loved it so much we didn't want to leave so we extended our stay for a third night. Front desk staff was all super helpful and knowledgeable of the area and gave great recommendations. We love it so much here this will be our new getaway for future trips.

Hotel Atwater is a revelation. Super clean, very helpful and kind staff, luxurious rooms. Not to mention the beach towels, gym access. and $30 breakfast credit. It is steps from the water and delicious eateries. I've stayed in every hotel in Avalon and this is tops. Will return!

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.
