Great Staff, very friendly and helpful. The hotel had just been re-done (so I heard), everything was clean and bright. I had the all-inclusive package, so I spent all my time on tours or on the beach. Yes, the rooms are small, but if you are planning on spending all of your time in the room, don't go to Avalon!!...

Newly remodeled- new carpet - newly painted.-new furniture- new bedding- great staff! Every room has AC now regardless of price! Room not that big. But very clean and comfortable.Besides all we did is dress and sleep there! Too much fun to be had outside! Would definately stay there again and recommend it!

For the money, this hotel is a great value. I have stayed there 3 times and always been happy. If you are going to Catalina to stay in your room the whole, maybe you should look elsewhere. If you are looking for a good price, clean room, and place to sleep, Atwater is the place to stay while visiting Catalina.

Itt was a decent / clean / basic room. Most of the time we were out enjoying the island (sleep and go). Suprisingly,... More

First, if you are the Four Seasons type, this won't be your cup of tea. If, however, you are more interested in location, value, and cleanliness, you will be pleased. The Atwater is just a short walk to the beach, and an even shorter walk to the timeless pizza joint across the street (delicious pizza by the slice!). Similarly, you... More

This is exactly like all the reviews have said, great price, comfortable rooms, central location and wonderful staff. Yes it has stairs, be aware of that and you will be fine. I was very pleased that my room had air conditioning and the room I got for my daughter's family had an ocean/harbor view!

Hotel Atwater was perfectly located in the middle of everything, had an awesome staff and the rooms were clean and comfy.. The Family Getaway package was unbeatable in value, plus they even upgraded us to the Underwater excursion tour for free (which is a MUST!!) Whenever we get to come back again, we will def stay here again!
