This place was very disappointing. Looked nothing like the pictures. Good location but felt like a roach motel. Guy who checked me in was nice, but everything was dirty and dated, need to invest in maintenance and new carpet. To the credit of cleaning staff, the sheets and towels seemed clean enough, but didn’t want to touch anything else and did not enjoy the experience.

Overall a very nice stay. AC worked nicely. Room was clean but the property itself is old so you do get that older hotel musky scent here and there.

Parking is indeed $8/night but be aware it is not 'directly' behind but one parking area beyond that as there's a few different areas surrounding it. So be prepared to walk just a little bit. If you tire easily then be mindful of that and that the entrance is at street level but then you take 2 sets of stairs to get to the main floor for check in without elevator. They do make sure you know about that both on Expedia prior to booking and by a nice gentle reminder through Expedia messages before your stay.

There will be a $150 incidentals hold that will fall off if you don't use it. It's for a basket of little snacks and drinks, some in the in room fridge. I do wish it was noted on Expedia but I typically assume incidentals out of habit.

Small flat screen TV in room that works fine on it's own but does have HDMI port if you have something like a fire stick.

Bathroom toilet was pretty low and only a freestanding sink without a counter so if you are someone that's needs a taller toilet, make sure you ask if they might be in accessible rooms just in case. There were your typical travel size shampoo, conditioner, body bar in there. Only small dislike was the employee on hand check in night said 'don't you have it in your room?' I had advised we had 1 each but asked for more since my hair is quite long and down past my mid-back.

We always stay at this place when in Glendale. Glenda worked the front desk and knew my family by name and took care of us and became friends. This trip we were told that Glenda is no longer here. That was very sad and the service was not so great. This is a convenient location, but parking is a block away. Also you must go to second or third floor without elevator. We did put up with these issues because of Glenda. We miss you Glenda.

It looks like once it was a great hotel, and some important things like bathroom were updated. However, the carpet everywhere- stairs, hallways and in the room is worn out and look dirty.
Pay attention that hotel doesn’t have an elevator and you have to go up just to reach a front desk.
But location is very good and we spent two comfortable nights there

First of all I’m allergic to cigarettes and when I opened the door I immediately couldn’t breathe from the smell of smoke. This was a gross room that I had to go up a bunch of stairs to get to. Immediately after sitting on the bed my skin started to itch and after looking there was hair on the sheets and later found bed bugs. Horrifying nightmare experience I left after a couple of hours after checking in and had bed bug bites on my leg and it ruined my trip this place needs to be shut down it’s a health hazard

I loved this little hotel. Very boutique but the rooms are pristine and the housekeeping staff is amazing. Amazing and safe location right on a walkable shopping area in Glendale. Parking is offsite but it's only a quick walk around the block. You do have to be able to carry your luggage up the stairs but I'm a light packer and this was no problem for me. I will definitely be returning.

Great location. Close to restaurants and shopping!! The room was a bit small, but no biggie. Bed was comfortable. Only issue was be prepared to walk up narrow stairway(s). It was so hot outside and had to park across the street across a parking lot, so having to climb those stairs with luggage was no fun.
I’d stay again.

The Brand Plaza Hotel is a very quaint and well situated hotel located off of Brand Blvd. You have Porto's, The Glendale Galleria, and the Americana at your disposal within a very close proximity. The staff is nice enough. The hotel itself is more than 100 years old as it was established in 1924. The main issue I have with this hotel are the steep staircases that you have to manage as you unload or load your hotel room. So if you come here pack lightly or else you will have a very extreme workout. The parking also is not very close making the loading and unloading very difficult.

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.

Myself and another lady (senior citizens) arrived at the hotel with four pieces of luggage. We made it up the 21 stairs, then to a landing with 10 more stairs. We were already aware of no elevator, but we asked if there was anyone to help. The guy said no, and didn’t offer to help.
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.
