"Spring Break Celebration"

10.0

We had a lovely birthday celebration at the Hotel Atwater over Spring Break. Our family stayed in the Phillip Knight Suite. It was large and had views of the ocean. The Hotel delivered champagne and chocolates upon our arrival. The staff was very friendly and housekeeping did a great job servicing our room daily. They had a cute cafe you clan purchase coffee and breakfast and the hotel is in the heart of downtown. We will be back!

"Perfect Stay!!!"

10.0

We absolutely adored our stay here. Staff is incredibly friendly & helpful, you can book tours & experiences right from a kiosk in the lobby & you walk out the doors to absolutely everything the island has to offer. The location is perfect, off the Main Street so it’s quiet but right off the action. We enjoyed walking around the island from the hotel. Room was small but well situated & lovely. We enjoyed it so much & will absolutely be back!!

"Small But Cleverly Designed Classic Queen Room"

10.0

This historic hotel is in a wonderful location and our room had everything that we needed or wanted (except it does not have a coffee maker in the room). It is designed to fit everything in a compact space. The safe is in a drawer, and as you walk in the room there is a cabinet designed to hang a few items on and that cabinet has a some drawers. It is located right across from the sink near the bathroom door. The large mirror over the sink serves as a divider to separate this area from the sleeping area. The bed was comfortable, but it was difficult to figure out how to work the thermostat so that the room temperature was comfortable, but by the second night, we had it adjusted correctly. Sparkling wine was provided in the refrigerator, a nice way to welcome guests to the island. Clean, comfortable, and ideally located with access to the ferry and well within walking distance to the restaurants, shops, and tourist attractions.

"We stayed in a comfortable, spacious room in this beautiful, historic hotel"

8.0

Beautiful clean and spacious room with lots of natural light, a huge bathroom, and comfy beds. The hotel is a really great blend of historic and newly renovated. Everything in Avalon is a short walk away.

A pool and hot tub would be a welcome addition.
