    Small but affordable room, nicely furnished. Parked in the lot behind the hotel but not certain we parked in the correct lot. Was wondering if our vehicle would be towed. Course use better instruction as to where the lot was. Out only complaint.

    The location was central in Glendale and had a historic wood decor with a modern large comfy bed The room seemed moldy and poorly aired but they said the windows opened but I could never open a window. They also failed to refund me for leaving one day earlier which is usually done. They never responded to my nor Bookings emails requesting this.

    Whenever I asked the front desk staff a question he always appear at alarmed and confused. His gestures and tone was not very welcoming or friendly. When I woke up in the morning and once a coffee, the coffee machine didn’t work and they didn’t seem to care whether or not it did or didn’t. No vending machine just a collection of overpriced 7-Eleven snacks and five dollar bottled water. But it had a nice vibe.

    The room was clean. There is no elevator and staff does not offer help for luggage. Parking is a bit inconvenient because it is a 3-5 minute walk away from the back entrance. Our toilet was broken (wouldn't flush) for the duration of our trip. We reported it and they tried to fix it and failed. We weren't offered an alternate room or any discount for the inconvenience of literally not being able to use the bathroom in our hotel for our several day long trip. The bed was comfortable and the furniture was great. It was so close to being good, it just missed the mark with those couple of things.

    It’s close to a lot of spots for hanging out. The only downside is that there’s no elevator. You have to haul your suitcases on flight of stairs. Everything else is good.

    Overall, the stay was good, but I was disturbed throughout the night by footsteps from the upstairs room, and early in the morning I was woken up by maintenance noise. Also, the parking area is located on the back street of the hotel, which did not feel very safe to walk through at night.

    Staff was helpful and professional. Unfortunately, the room was small. Things needed to be upgraded for sure. Paint was chipped, walls had cracks, and there were patches of carpet replaced. The television didn't work great but the air conditioning did. The bed was squeaky and uncomfortable. The parking was very terrible. It was far and hard to even find a spot. There was no elevators as they mentioned however, the stairs were very steep and tiring to go up and down.

    Very nice, clean, quaint hotel with an antique look/design. Staff are polite and friendly. Parking is off-site around the block for $8 during your stay and there are nice restaurants/eateries within walking distance. The only challenge is looking up at the steep stairs when opening the hotel’s front door and there is no elevator option - but doable with care.

    For an overnight stay, it satisfied our needs. Clearly a vintage property as the carpeted staircase leading up to the lobby could have received better care and maintenance. The AC in room 101 worked fine for us. For the money, it was all right.

    The bed was small, but it was exactly what I needed for the weekend. The bed was beyond comfortable, and it was centrally located to what I had going on. If you’re not big on stairs, this may not be for you since you have to climb to the lobby, and then the second floor if you get a room on that floor.

    The bed was incredibly comfortable, providing an excellent night's sleep. The hotel's proximity to the event I was attending made it super convenient. I also loved the decor, which added a unique charm to the overall experience. While my stay at the boutique hotel was enjoyable, there were a couple of downsides. The lack of an elevator meant I had to navigate several flights of stairs to reach both the front desk and my room, which was a bit inconvenient. Additionally, the parking area was quite far from the hotel entrance. If you're okay with a little extra walking, it's still a lovely place to stay!

    No one cleaned our room and we didn’t have a sign on the door NOT requesting cleaning. I told the front desk and he did offer fresh towels. We stayed two night, decided to leave the next day. The phone didn’t work in my room so we walked down to change our reservation. That went fine. We were in Glendale for the birth of my grandson. We got a call at 3:00 in the morning to report to the hospital bc my daughter was in labor. I went down to the front desk to let them know what was going on. I had to ring the bell for him to come around from the back. That’s fine but, ANYONE could walk up those steps and come down our hallway. Also there was a couple in one of those rooms down from mine that were fighting and using foul language. We were shocked that as we left, the front door at the street level was wide open! The next day I told the front desk about the door being wide open. He said it was ok bc they had a night watchman. Again, anyone could have walked right by the front desk and nobody would ever know. Really disappointed in our stay.

    Additionally, the building apparently had a 3rd floor (Hotel is on the 2nd) because what sounded like a family of elephants arrived home at about midnight and stomped around until about 1AM. They arose earlier than I did and stomped again about 7AM, but for a shorter period. Overall though this was a fun hotel, as we were visiting a performance at the Nocturne Theatre within very close walking distance, making attending the show simple. A quaint hotel in not too bad shape that made good for a one-night stay for local entertainment

    The stay was okay, the broken bathroom window did not stay open for ventilation. Noise from neighboring rooms made it hard to relax or sleep. Rooms are clean but could use some updating to feel more comfortable.

    Perfect location, close to everything. Able to safely walk around at night. Comfortable bed. Very clean room. Quiet hotel - never heard any noise during the night while sleeping. The parking is alittle odd, parking a block away in an outside parking lot but I did notice an attendant checking the cars which made me feel confident that someone would be periodically checking in on the lot. Very steep stairs, there is no elevator. A lift mechanism would be helpful, especially for those who can't take the stairs and would have to miss out on staying in this charming older hotel. So pack light when staying here.

    I had switched over from another hotel and fully expected to have to leave my luggage with the front desk and wait for a room to be ready, but I was delightfully surprised to be told that I could check in right then (11:30)!!! Then, I was even granted a late check out. I was right in the heart of Glendale, close to everything and the room was comfortable. Great value for the price. The stairs with luggage was rough, but everything else made me look past that as nothing more than a free gym visit!!! Cheers!!!

    Sadly, there is no drop off area for hotel, we parked in Bank of America parking next door (there was a guard there but luckily we are BofA customers). Hotel on site parking is non-exisit, you can use a pay parking for $8/day a couple of blocks away. Beware, there is no elevator so ne prepared to walk up the stairs. There is only level 2 and 3. The rooms were disappointingly small.

    As mentioned by others, the lobby is on the second floor of the building and requires taking stairs. Parking is behind the building and across a small street. Per the gentleman at the front desk, there was also a cost associated with parking. The surrounding area was great and had some stellar food options including Porto’s two doors down. A solid location & experience for a budget hotel.

    No instructions on where to park prior to check in. Called the front desk and the person was very bad at communicating where we can park while we were checking in. Public parking only available until you check in and then he explains how the parking works. The hotel entrance was very difficult to find. Almost appears as thought the hotel was abandoned. Our biggest complaint was the person at the front desk who checked us in around 7:00 PM on July 11th. Lack of empathy while we struggled to find the parking, the entrance and lugging our luggage up the stairs. My wife accidently dropped a couple of bags in front of the person who checked us in. He just watched it all happen and never offered any sort of assistance or asked if she was okay. She was clearly struggling. He was extremely rude, condescending and lacked communication skills. Good luck with any assistance from the front desk if you need any sort of help.

    Everything you'd expect from and older, quaint with LOTS of character hotel. It's not a shiny new penny but it's not a dumpy slumpy place either. We did have an issue with toilet backup (old pipes remember) and they fixed it immediately. Parking is a couple blocks away, which was the most inconvenient thing about staying here. Spaces are very limited but we were lucky taking the last available space every day of our stay. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    Please note: THERE IS NO ELEVATOR and this is NOT a ground-floor building. The steps are many and very, very steep. Also, the parking area is down an alley and across a considerable parking lot. The parking area itself is also located in a dark, alley-like space. This parking situation costs me $8 a day PLUS 1 --$50 parking ticket. I had to plan my day to have the car returned before it got dark in order to feel safe. Walking in front of the building was pleasurable and safe. The hotel itself is in a great location and near many restaurants and shopping.

    Moreover, room #105 was located right next to the front desk, resulting in constant noise from people coming and going throughout the night. The traffic noise from the main road was also unbearable. The carpet in the bedroom was old and dirty with visible patches glue on and the room had an unpleasant odor. There was visible trash under the bed, and the air conditioner was so loud that it had to be turned off. The bedding featured labels from a different hotel, The pillows and mattress were hard and uncomfortably and overall, my stay was a complete nightmare. I didn’t sleep at all because I clearly heard a rat making noise and I was terrified. I truly hated it.

    This hotel was good for one night as I needed a central location that was walking distance to a lot of things. However the parking situation was frustrating and the room itself was so tiny.

    It was advertised as a queen bed - definitely not a queen. My boyfriend and I are not big people (he's 5'9 and I'm 5'4 and neither of us is heavy) and we were elbow and leg bumping all night in the tiny double bed. The room was also very small, and there was nowhere to hang the dress I was wearing to the formal wedding we were there for. Also no room in the bathroom to put things! would have been an OK room for a single overnight just to sleep - for one person - but too small for a 5 night stay for 2.

    I was VERY skeptical when we first arrived, but I quickly realized that I got a pretty good, small, clean and compact hotel that pretty much gives you whatever you need for your stay. Great AC, good showers, and the beds aren’t too bad either. I’d say this place is actually pretty cool too since you can literally just walk out into Glendale and explore. The only downside is stairs, and no Elevator. But honestly, that didn’t even bother me AT all. Great place if you plan on visiting Glendale, or LA in general. (And if you want to save money), all in all, great bang for your buck
