The staff is amazing. The location is fantastic. With that in mind, it is an older property so floors are squeaky, walls are super thin and you can hear every footstep on the floor above and the stairs. You can hear full conversations clearly from neighboring rooms.
We loved the vintage 1891 hotel that is owner owned and operated now by the 4th generation. We were literally welcomed into their home. Our room was comfortable with all modern conveniences. Above all, the windows opened to provide fresh air!
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.
Clean room and staff were super nice. However, front desk staff was busy doing other duties. So front desk was empty when trying to check in/check out. Ended up leaving the key on front desk with a note when trying to check out.
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!

Due to Expedia overbooking our original hotel reservation, we booked this property last minute. We appreciated being accommodated with an early check-in, and the front desk staff was kind upon arrival.
Unfortunately, the remainder of our stay was very disappointing. The noise insulation in our room appeared to be extremely poor and we could clearly hear loud yelling from people outside until around 2 a.m., which made it very difficult to rest. It felt as though the activity was happening directly outside our window. For what was meant to be a relaxing island getaway, the inability to sleep significantly impacted our experience.
Overall, it was not a good experience, and we left feeling disappointed. We would not stay here again or recommend the hotel to anyone.
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.

Room condition was good. But toilet was very noisy and the tv wouldn’t not turn off on our last night and had to put a toilet over it to block some of the light. Also ice machine was not working
Very friendly staff and helpful. We were able to leave our luggage in storage area after check out while we enjoyed Catalina Island for the last three hours before our ferry departed.
