My girlfriend and I stayed here over this past weekend for a little getaway. After much research, I selected this hotel and crossed my fingers it was nice considering the mixed reviews I saw on here and other sites. I tried keeping my mind open. When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted by a very friendly blonde girl... More

Old hotel but clean and comfortable. Don't go here if you can't climb 2 long flights of stairs, NO elevator. Like rooms in Italy the climb up to the 2nd floor, really the third floor, can be daunting. After walking all day the final climb to bed in the evening was the coup d'état. Hotels in Avalon are expensive, especially... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my Mother's day weekend here with my son. The staff are really a pleasure to interact with, the rooms, while nothing exceptional, were clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time in Avalon, so all we needed was two beds and a shower. Great location, terrific price, too. But the staff were the best. I was... More

I'm giving this a 5 star for the class of hotel this is - excellent value for the price. Rooms are basic and bathroom is small, but you also aren't paying the high prices of other hotels in the area. We weren't spending much time in the room anyways so save the $$ for food, drinks and excursions. Location is... More

The staff here were awesome! They let us check in early and even stored our luggage after we had to check out! The room does what you need for your time in Catalina. Nice comfy bed. If I visit Catalina Again i would definitely stay here again.

My roommate and I escaped to Catalina for the weekend of my birthday. It happened to be Easter weekend, so a lot of places were full, but I found a room at the Hotel Atwater online. I perhaps recalled a dive buddy recommending it before. We found the hotel less than a block from the main street, next to several... More

The Hotel Atwater is well located, clean, nicely decorated, and has great service. I think the experience one has at the Atwater is directly proportional to the price paid. We paid $109 per night over spring break for an "upgraded double queen" room, so our expectations were pretty low. We were pleasantly suprised by how nice the lobby was. This... More

Stayed over a short weekend. Very nice and helpful staff. Perfect simple room with a comfortable bed. Great location in the middle of town yet still quiet even with windows open. My new favorite hotel in Avalon.

We decided just a week in advance to go to Catalina for a special scuba diving March 16. Web searches showed little availability in Avalon and only at very high prices at a few hotels. We tried calling the Atwater reservation number, and I was delighted to find that they had some availability for the Saturday night we wanted (note:... More
