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. More

AAA Travel helped us booked this Hotel considering iit was a new year weekend (Dec 30 to Jan1). We had the economy room with no aircon, only fan / heater / TV, no phone but with wifi. 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! More

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! More

This is an older style hotel that needs upgrades. However for a night or two you may consider it. The staff are very friendly at the desk and are great at multi-tasking as they deal with the camping crowd too. I have stayed in five star resorts that do not have great staff so they more than make up for... More

Everything about this experience was excellent! The family getaway was a great deal and allowed us to do activities that we may have not done otherwise. The hotel was older (as expected in Catalina), but so well maintained and clean. The location was close to the boat landing and beach. The staff was warm and helpful, particularly Juan at the...

The Hotel Atwater is an older hotel that has been well maintained. The Hotel sits a block off the main drag (Crescent Avenue) and is attached to the very good Mr. Ning's Chinese Restaurant. We stayed for 3 nights and found our room a little crowded but very nicely decorated and with very comfortable beds and pillows. Some rooms do... More
