Went on a weekend getaway by myself. My room was located on the top floor / third floor. The room is very clean and very cozy. very comfortable. There are no Elevators so pack lite. Good service. Although there is no complimentary continental Breakfast like most hotels to help you start your day. The Hotel Atwater is in the Heart... more

The location was great and in the center of town. We stayed in a remodeled suite with a king bed in one room and a sofa bed in another room. The bathroom was spacious and well-appointed. But, once the sun went down, the noise started. All night we heard people laughing and talking loudly. There were daily trash trucks and... more

Keeping in mind that if this hotel were in any other city, the rating would be even lower, but the hotel situation as a whole in Catalina is very unique. Most hotels and establishments there are older and not equipped with air conditioning, due to the natural climate, but with weather heating up year after year, it gets difficult depending... more

This hotel is great for the price. It's located right in the heart of town. It has all the basic amenities one is looking for - a bed, TV, bathroom, etc. It's definitely not too classy, just comfortable enough. We had a queen bed on the third floor overlooking the bay. It was small, but for not spending too much... more

My husband and I just returned from a fabulous three days in Avalon. We got a great deal through the internet coming over on the Catalina Flyer and stayed at the Atwater hotel. To say this is a budget hotel is pretty accurate. Room was extremely small, with no view at all but location was great and the hotel was... more

I booked this hotel based on other good reviews it received on this site. I was shocked by the condition of the hotel. The location couldn't be better. But....the rooms are sparse and abused. There is nothing "quaint." Furniture is trashed 80s motel furniture. Drawers were broken. Could feel springs through beds. Couple a lousy bed with unbelievable street noise... more

Hotel rooms on Catalina Island can get very pricey. We chose the Atwater for its location and the packages you can book with it. We opted for the Underwater package which included a semi-submersible tour along with our Catalina Express tickets. We got a great deal on the package. The hotel itself is nothing fancy but our room was clean... more

Pleasantly Surprised! We just returned from a 3 night stay at Hotel Atwater! We booked 2 rooms, (one was the suite, and other was a standard double). The suite was definately worth the extra money! It was nice to have a table and fridge. The standard double was just fine! Hotel Atwater beds were the most comfortable of our whole... more

The Hotel Atwater was a great place to stay. It's smack dab in the middle of Avalon, with many restaurants and shops nearby. It's only a few hundred feet from the water, and there's a clean liquor store across the street where you can buy snacks, bottled water, soda, for reasonable prices. We made sure to ask for a room... more
