Amazing lobby staffed by amazing people. Very clean hotel. Room pretty small but really was just right. Just a short walk from the ferry dock and the beach. Great restaurants with in walking distance.
The room was so cute and very clean. We had an incredible view! The staff was very friendly! We felt like we were staying in a 5 star facility for a great price!
Great stay, clean room, good decor, location is super convenient. Overall very happy with the stay. However we were very surprised of not having kettle or coffee machine in the room of a pricey hotel.
Wonderful overall experience. Guest services were friendly and helpful. Everything was within walking distance which was super convenient. My room was clean and didn’t hear a lot of noise from other guests.

Very nice and comfortable hotel staff was amazing. Location is ideal.
Had some hic-ups checking in using the Hinton app. Needed to go to the front desk to get my credit card updated. The woman who checked us in was extremely polite and helpful. Our room was spotless, bed was extremely comfortable. The landscape of the property was really well done as well as a picturesque waterfall structure in view for the people to enjoy from the dining area.
The hotel is clean. And they did offer us a bottle of champagne to celebrate our anniversary, but a hotel nowadays should be able to offer a hot shower. The water for Luke warm at best. So uncomfortable and would not stay again
My stay at the Atwater Hotel was excellent. The was clean and very well made. The service was excellent and the hotel was very responsive to our needs.
Super nice front desk. Received text from hotel the day before arrival providing details for luggage service at the ferry. Nice bathroom. Clean room. Beautiful building and great location. Only reason I did not give 5 stars. Is because the carpet just is not super clean looking. Appears time for near carpets which can be a turn off.
We've stayed in Catalina several times. The Atwater might be my favorite so far. The rooms are small because as most standard hotel rooms are on the island but the hotel is beautiful, clean and the location is so convenient. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. There were 15 of us and we all enjoyed our stay
