Amazing stay!! Everything was absolutely perfect. Staff was wonderful and our room had a beautiful view of the Casino. Location was perfect for walking to the beach and while it was close to everything, it was so quiet and relaxing. I can’t recommend this hotel enough! You will love it!

The rooms were a little small but very nicely decorated and efficient and comfortable for two adults. You can't beat the location, one block off the main street with lots of restaurants, shopping and beach.

Our experience was great, would stay here again. It was so nice that the staff was waiting by the boat when we got in, to take our luggage back to hotel for us for free, so we didnt have to carry it around until check in. loved the service.

Hotel Atwater is a revelation. Super clean, very helpful and kind staff, luxurious rooms. Not to mention the beach towels, gym access. and $30 breakfast credit. It is steps from the water and delicious eateries. I've stayed in every hotel in Avalon and this is tops. Will return!
