Overall, the stay at could have been better
Pros:

Been coming to Catalina for some time now. Love the town and the spooky vibe Glenmoore

Cons:

For starters. The closet door was broken only attached by one hinge. The bathroom curtain kept falling off at one point hitting one of my kids on the head.
Lastly, the room is advertised as a “Queen room” the room was tiny with hardly any room to walk. Maybe change the name so it isn’t misleading.

Beautiful location, sizable room, kind staff
Pros:

The location was spectacular, close to everything. It was between the beach and the meet up location for many excursions. The staff were kind and gave us water bottles, along with recommendations for local eateries for free.

Cons:

Our room was on the edge of the building with a restaurant so we heard late night noises which sometimes ran later than we'd like. Our bathroom also had an issue that water would spill onto the floor.
