"Excellent location, good amenities, great staff, large rooms."

"Excellent "

"I’ve stayed here twice now and both times were seamless and enjoyable. Rooms are clean and spacious. Hotel is only about a 15-20 minute drive from the airport."

"Nice hotel, it's clean, the beds are a bit small, liked the area and the near by options for shopping and dining. One more thing, it would be great if Glendale Express Hotel could offer better complementary morning snacks for guests."

"We liked that they have free coffee machine, free water. We liked everything inside the hotel room very convenient to all of us the wide and clean room"

"Room was clean and comfortable. The shower pressure was kinda weak . We liked the closeness of restaurants as well as walking distance the Shrine auditorium for a concert we were attending. Overall an excellent stay ,would definitely stay again. "

"Very nice hotel on the UCLA campus near the hospital and Jules Stein Eye Institute! The only negative was the shower: instead of a hand shower or a combination, the bathroom only had a small shower head positioned very high. I had an eye surgery and needed to be able to shower below the head which was absolute impossible. I really hate the fact that so many American hotels have neither hand showers nor bidets. "
