This review is a little overdue but better late than never. My boyfriend and I are from Chicago and traveled to CA in Feb 2012. We decided to take a trip out to Catalina Island for my birthday. From the moment we got off the boat, we were blown away by the service at the Glenmore. Although the hotel is... More

From the pick up at the boat to checking out, we had the best service! Quite hotel and comfy beds. Clean, but not new. The staff was fantastic! Made us feel very at home. Overall experience was great and I would stay again and recommend this to anyone looking for a perfect location in Avalon.

Great Stay. The Glenmore Plaza Hotel location was great, they are right in the middle of town, so most of the tours,shops and restaurants were all very close. The room was clean,quiet and very comfortable. The staff was so personal and friendley, it was refreshing. The free shuttle service and breakfast in the morning was nice. I would stay there... More

The FREE continental breakfast is excellent, staff aré very nice especially Dianne. The only problem is the hassle on their construction of the 3rd and 4th floor. I will recommend this hotel for the... More

Disappointed. Paid good amt...$159.00 per night, and was not pleased with what we got. Hotel is being renevated so lots of hammering. Rooms are OLD and hard to get clean. VERY small and VERY plain. No pics old carpets, screens falling off, doors won't lock or shut well.Would rather pay and stay where I am comfortable.

I stayed here for one night during my California vacation in Summer 2011. I only read reviews about the hotel, and the main reason I booked the room was because it was inexpensive and came with a few perks. Pros: -Includes the trip to Catalina Island in the price (you can choose the port you depart from) -Includes an excursion... More

I'm told that this is the second oldest operating hotel in California (after Hotel Del in San Diego). It is a family owned operation and they were very accommodating. The staff gets a big thumbs up. We had a group of 9 guys coming from all over the world. Half stayed on my boat and the others stayed at the... More

Anyone who would provide a good review to this hotel just does not know how to travel! I reserved a two-bedroom suite because my wife and I were traveling with our daughter and upon arrival were told that the "maid that was to clean the suite called in sick" so we had to take two separate rooms. They did not... More

Our daughter's wedding guests stayed at the Glenmore. Without requesting it, on arrival we were met at the dock and our luggage was transported to the hotel. Early check in was friendly and efficient and our bags were taken to our rooms for us. All rooms were clean, charming, and comfortable. The free continental breakfast was a quick and tasty... More
