We were welcomed very kindly; we were able to leave our luggage in a designated storage area while we waited for check-in time. The room was very clean, and the location is close to everything—right outside, there’s a pizzeria (which is delicious, by the way! 😁), as well as a liquor store just a few steps away in case you need to pick up some snacks.

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!

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!

Clean towels and comfy pillows that smell yummy ARE ALWAYS a plus while vacationing, they had both! Bud, Jimmy and Buds granddaughter were all so helpful and welcoming, we traveled as a family of four, we have two adult children and they did not hesitate to bring us an extra cot/bed and extra pillow and blankets… Thank you Glenmore hotel!!! The hotel is charming and be prepared to walk up stairs (4 flights for us) so if your disabled or elderly you might double think this one or ask for a bottom floor. The view out of the windows was AMAZING, you literally feel like your in Greece or somewhere beautiful in Italy!! The continental breakfast was just ok, consisting of 3 types of bagels, cream cheese and jelly, coffee, orange juice, tea bags, bananas & oranges… THATS IT!! I recommend dry packets of oatmeal but maybe that doesn’t fit in the “continental” mix? One of the views that we had of the street and beautiful homes up in the Catalina mountains was actually sitting on the toilet where I got stuck one day lol and my husband fell asleep sitting in there. my son let me know by saying “Mom Dad’s snoring on the toilet… TOO FUNNY!! BTW we were in room 403-Charlie Chaplin room on 4th floor There is no ice machine, they keep ice at bottom of stairs in one of those store style fridges and it’s free, “take two bags up” the owner said, they do keep it filled👍 Centered in THE MIDDLE OF TOWN, you can’t go wrong, Very charming, this family run buisiness is one we will be returning to!

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.
