Very Good

Found a leak in the bathroom roof when the top floor had a bath. Had to put towels to stay the one night. Very dated hotel but great location and very nice hosts.
Denise and her husband were so kind and helpful ! They provided everything we needed and had a great time knowing them!
We had a nice partial sea view in our room, however the rooms and furnitures were old. but if you are into these kind of hotels it was nostalgic !
Unfortunately the cleaners didn’t vacuum the floor nor changed the bed sheets everyday! But we enjoyed our stay because of nice view and nice behavior their team had and hotel was located in a good spot in avalon. so close to restaurant and port. Thank you!
The staff at the hotel was so kind and accommodating, they upgraded our room which made the trip a million times more wonderful! So thank you Glenmore! I loved this hotel for being able to walk out the door to coffee shops in the morning, to restaurants at night, and shopping. Thank you for decorating the hotel full of Christmas! I highly recommend!
We found the Glenmore, because the hotel we normally stay at was closed for renovations. What an absolute gem of a find! The hotel is centrally located, the room was very comfortable and in great condition.
Most importantly, all of the staff here were absolutely amazing. Possibly the best hotel spirit experience I’ve ever had when you take everything into consideration.
We look forward to coming back to Catalina, as we come back frequently, and we will be choosing to stay here from here on.
Great stay close to the beach and lots of restaurants. Avalon is very walkable. The room was spacious and clean. Bathroom was also up to the mark. Check-in was easy and fast.

The Glenmore Plaza was amazing to stay at. Hailey at the front desk was extremely sweet and welcoming. I can’t wait to be back in the summer and I will be recommending the hotel to others.

Check in was 3:00 but we didn't get our room until 4:30 probably due the Run Catalina event.The room was adequate but the queen mattress needed to be replaced. Good location and staff were nice.
✨ First trip to Catalina and I’m officially obsessed! The island is breathtaking — ocean views, charming streets, and the kindest people everywhere you go. 💙
I stayed at The Glenmore and it was such a vibe — cozy, historic, and full of character. The staff were beyond friendly and made me feel right at home. There’s no elevator (they offered me a first-floor room), but I chose the third floor for the view and it was totally worth it. 🌅
Highly recommend this spot if you’re planning a Catalina getaway. Can’t wait to come back! 🌺🏝️
The room was charming and the staff was amazing! They were very accommodating and attentive. The location was perfect, walking distance to shopping, dinning and the beach. I can’t wait to go back and stay again.
