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.

I'm going across the street next time...

Kind of difficult to leave this place daily and see the modern Atwater across the street. The toilet continually ran, there was hair in the drain from the last occupants (we never saw housekeeping come to our room in the two days we were there, despite alerting the staff) and the place is very run down. Bed not comfortable, both of us had back issues each morning. The staff is great. The two older gentlemen give all kinds of recommendations for what to do and where to eat. They were the best part of the stay. The Continental breakfast is orange juice (which was quite good) dry bagels (pass) and blueberry muffins from a box mix (actually quite good).
