✨ 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! 🌺🏝️

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.

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.
