The Glenmore Plaza Hotel is one of the oldest hotels in Avalon, the only town on Santa Catalina, a popular island off of southern California. Commonly known as Catalina, the island is a picturesque tourist destination, although much of the island was purchased in 1975 by the Santa Catalina Island Conservancy and now is preserved against development. Most visitors to Catalina come for water sports, hiking, horseback riding and cycling trails. Visitors can get to Catalina on one of the regular cruises from Long Beach, San Pedro, Redondo Beach or Newport Beach. Located just steps from the beach, the Glenmore is a four story Victorian hotel with 46 non smoking guestrooms, each featuring cable TV, complimentary toiletries, ceiling fan, and mini refrigerator upon request. Complimentary amenities include wireless Internet access in the lobby, daily continental breakfast, and transportation to and from the boat dock. The hotel does not have a restaurant or an elevator.

I've stayed in just about every room in the hotel, it's elegant, centrally located in all the hot spots, and well maintained. The view in 401 is panoramic, I can't think of one better on the island. I would highly recommend this place to everyone as

If you have no Problem sleeping in what can only be described as a over sized closest, painted a horrible shade of "blown up papa smurf on Grape Juice" well than this is the place. We came to Catalina and this is the first (and I might add the last time) we will be staying here. It is the off season so you would think that given the lack of tourists, the staff would do there best not to disturb the few guests who have braved to stay there. BUT NO at 7:00 am they cose to steam clean the front walk way, and why not it is a Sunday morning and I am sure there is not much more to do. My Advice with out being to cruel, and believe me I can be cruel, save your money and splurge on something that is nicer. I will say that the only good thing was the desk clerk was nice and not rude, but it is still not worth staying for Him!!
