"Beautify hotel (albeit a tad pricey)"

10.0

We very much enjoyed our one-night stay at Hotel Atwater. The front desk agents were friendly and well trained. They were delightful. We had no other contact with staff, but the hotel is very pretty and clean! And, a super location.

"Perfect location and historic charm"

10.0

The Hotel Atwater is centrally located in Avalon making it the perfect stay for exploring the island. Combine that with a professional and and excellent staff plus very clean rooms with comfortable beds, and you have Catalina perfection. Every encounter with the staff was excellent. We really enjoyed our comfortable and simple room. The coffee bar downstairs knew our order by day two and everything was pleasant with a touch of casual elegance. I will absolutely stay here again (after many trips to Catalina staying elsewhere, we found our favorite).
