Service was exceptional. The room was clean and location was outstanding!
Centrally located but not right down on the busiest part of town ,so it was quiet. Recently remodeled but one of the oldest hotels with lots of history. Highly recommended.
The hotel provided luggage service from the pier so we were able to enjoy a lovely lunch before checking in without having to haul around our bags. Bay, Chris and Oliver assisted us at the front desk. They were courteous, informative and professional. There was even champagne and chocolates waiting for us in our clean and comfortable room to celebrate a birthday. What pleasant surprise! Everything about our stay was amazing. I plan on returning again and again and will stay nowhere but at the Atwater Hotel.
Nice renovated hotel but lacks some basic modern amenities .
e.g. no coffee maker in the room, not enough plug points , no restaurant (just a bistro).
but was clean, centrally located and staff was friendly .
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!
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.
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.
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.
