Hotel Atwater

Avalon

10/10 Excellent

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...

Fantastic location for Universal with direct trolley service to the park and only a 15 minute uber ride to Hollywood Blvd and Griffith park. Plenty of food options available and a good shopping amenities for any last minute trip requirements. Guidance on the area from hotel staff was perfect and gave us greater context of what was available. Room was very comfortable and quiet an served us well for our stay. I would certainly use this hoel again.

10/10 Excellent

Excellent hotel! We were upgraded to a suite, which was stunning! The staff were professional, friendly and helpful. We stayed at 6 hotels on our family California trip this was the only one that measured up to the images on expedia. The hotel is near busy roads but we couldn't hear a thing in our room despite the suite having at least six large windows and wrapping round the side of the building.
