DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL I don’t even know where to start but this hotel is a mess. I get it is a historic hotel on Catalina with local charm, but we paid $900 for a room w trashed carpet, trip hazards, broken furniture, we had to move not one but two pieces of heavy furniture out of the way to use the sleeper sofa. We were told new mattress and upgraded bathroom and both were dirty and a mess. Dripping rusty water, lots of broken floor tiles, etc. Worst attempt at redoing rooms I’ve ever seen. Clearly the family that has owned it forever doesn’t care. Our room, without any advertising to know details in advance, was 4 steep flights of stairs up, no elevator or offer to help w heavy bags. False advertising all over the place. Outside our window was a gross trashcan on a roof and bird droppings so disgusting we kept the curtains closed. If it was $200-$250 per night, maybe, but it’s a dump. Sad owners don’t care and gouge guests with really high rates. Over 40 years have stayed at the other dozen or so hotels in Avalon and they are ALL better, cleaner and greater value for the money. $900 is a lot for a dump.

Good and reasonable

The staff is great, the hotel is nice and the bed was super comfy. My room had a view of a ladder and roof and there was a lot of “industrial” noise all night so I wore earbuds. Its right in the heart of things and very walkable.

I wanted to share what a wonderful time we had during our stay at Glenmore Plaza Hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and our room was both quiet and clean. The central location in downtown Avalon was perfect, allowing us to walk to everything within minutes. We truly enjoyed our visit.

Great location, but the breakfast was poor and the key didn't work on our room so we had to get the front desk to open the door each time.

Beautiful details throughout, and everything is so comfy. This was our second time here and without hesitation they carried our bags upstairs. Every time we walked in the lobby, someone had something kind to say we were always addressed and spoken to and welcomed. This is a very special place to stay and it is so beautiful.

We enjoyed the location. It was within walking distance to the beach/bay. The room had a view overlooking the street/main entrance. They offered a free light breakfast (bagel/muffin, coffee/juice). And there are restaurants within walking distance, with more complete menu of options, which we opted for. The staff were great. And the hotel is historical. Upon arrival you should know there is no elevator. So be prepared to hike the classic stairs if you're on the upper 3rd and 4th floors. If you want peace and quiet, it is a little noisy after sundown, if you're in a room facing the street. I suggest turning on the TV app YouTube for "sleep sounds". This helped while sleeping through the nights, drowning out the vehicles/noisy people out on the street below. The King bedroom with mini couch pullout was nice. It's perfect for 2 adults and a kid. It has a mini fridge and microwave.. but no coffee maker (coffee shops are just down the strip). The window blinds were problematic and needed careful finessing to open/close (a couple needed replacing). The telephone system was not working and the TV had no cable/satellite connection anymore. However we were able to watch some movies on some of the apps listed, once turned on (Tubi, Pluto). The bathroom shower was huge with an extra rainfall shower head.. however the knobs/use of them were mysterious (push, pull, turn, etc). All in all it was a good place to stay. I heard its better than the hotel across the street.

Great get away!

We went for the July 4 holiday. Very fun. Hotel is a short walk to anywhere! It’s very quiet. Bed was comfy… though I reserved a queen bed and our room had a double bed. That was the only downside.
