The hotel wasl lovely and the staff was helpful and friendly. We will be back!
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.
We arrived at Catalina Island off the Ferry at 10.30am and went straight to the Hotel.
We checked in but obviously the room was not ready yet but we were able to leave our baggage in a baggage storage area and they said at reception they would text me when our room was available.
I got notified that our room was ready at 1.00pm so we went back and got the keys to our room.
The room was very clean,comfortable and air conditioned.
We slept well as the bed was very comfortable. There is no breakfast service available at this Hotel but there is a Bistro available on site were you can purchase breakfast items on a chargable basis.
I can highly recommend this hotel.
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
I wish they offered a golf cart pick up from the ferry for you and your luggage. The rooms are TINY and could barely for suitcases and walk to bathroom.
Very pretty hotel and convenience to everything around.
