Hilton Los Angeles North/Glendale

We happened to find this place for a good rate on Hotels Tonight, and you know? Hilton has some really good hotels so we decided to go with it…
We got there and it was very convenient the fact that they have a good big garage available for self-​parking at $ 19 a night, so far so good!
We got the to hotel and it’s messy and under construction. (Feb — 2016) not a good look at all!
We checked in and headed to our room after waiting a LONG time for the elevator to arrive… other people also complained of how slow the elevator was (not sure if only one of the 2 was actually working)
The room was very so so, nothing special, it felt very old and out of style and our view was… ANOTHER WALL! * On the plus side, Wi-​Fi was complementary!
I really don’t have a lot to say about this place. it really was just «bleh»

To be fair, the place is under construction but close to $ 200 a night, I was expecting a nicer room. The place, furniture is pretty old. We could saved $ 100 & stayed at inn for the same type room. Every time, I have stayed at Hilton, it’s been a big disappointment. Lesson learned WON’T do that again. Oh the fries were yummy

The WORST experience I’ve ever had. Every single employee I came into contact with was extremely rude, from the parking attendant to the front desk. Every part of my week stay was a nightmare! Did I mention the horrible costumer service?!!

Im writing this from a stay from December. Why you asked so late? I just noticed they charged my credit card for 2 cars including my girlfriends, then had us pay parking (cash) upon leaving the hotel even though I gave the attendant the bill? Wow! !!!
As you can tell Im more than mad. When we left and checked out, the woman with a boulder on her finger did not utter a word until she said «thanks». There was no «How was your stay?» I now know why she didnt ask, she knew the answer already.
The room had a place for a fridge, but the door according to housekeeping remains locked. This from a Hilton?
I can say the breakfast they provided was good but we ate in rooms designated for meetings and events. Nothing on the walls that I can recall and was in the basement.
Hilton needs their district manager in here ASAP!

This Hilton is a smaller one that most. The area is nice and quiet and pretty central to everywhere we needed to go. It’s clear that the LA area is very spread out and it normally is about 20 minutes to each place we needed to be at. Some unfortunate events happened during our stay and of course I feel compelled to write about them. We arrived late on a Saturday, and I am guessing this was a super busy weekend so they were overbooked and did not have our correct room that we booked. We had 4 girls and they stuck us in a king bed room with a roll away. Sleeping 3 on a king is not okay. I was not a happy camper when we were told it was overbooked. How can one make this mistake, when there are clearly reservations and maybe you should keep an eye on how many rooms you actually have available and how many you are going to reserve for people. Luckily it was only for one night so it would just have to do. The next morning I had to keep calling constantly since we were told we would be able to move to a room that we originally had booked. Took forever but it finally pulled through. Boy, if I had known that double beds were THAT small. never again. Felt super cramped and tight for two people on a double. The hotel is under construction right now and although it wasn’t a bother visually, the noise in the early morning was annoying while we tried to sleep in since we were on vacation. Although this stay was not the most pleasant. The hotel did try to do right by comping us our parking for the entire stay. I guess it’s the least they could do…

Excellent service from Sue and Tess. Food was amazing highly recommend the burger that you can build your way as you like. Great view 360 view of surrounding cities.

My friend and I stayed the night here over the weekend because we were visiting from out of town. We weren’t impressed with this hotel or the level of customer service.
I am no where near a hotel snob, I have no problem staying at a Motel 6. As long as I have a clean room with little noise, I’m good to go. That was not the case for our room here at the Hilton.
After being in the room for 15 minutes, we started hearing a noise every 15 minutes. It sounded like a noise from the pipes or something. But it was very distracting. We had went to the front desk to see if we could possibly switch to a different room. The front desk agent didn’t even ask why we wanted another room, he just said he had nothing else available and sent us on our way.
I definitely wouldn’t stay here another night based on the customer service alone. Next time I’m
In the area, I’ll find another hotel to stay at.

I attended an Abraham-​Hicks workshop here. There were a lot of people and cars to coordinate, but for the most part everything was smooth sailing. I can’t really comment on the rooms, but the area surrounding the hotel has everything you could want in terms of food and entertainment and all in Über-​friendly distances.

Good hotel but currently undergoing remodeling. The restaurant has a great view of the hills.

I was dreading my stay here after reading the Unilocal reviews, but was surprised to find that the service at the hotel was pretty friendly and overall competent.
They’re currently under renovation in the lobby area. Restaurant is currently relocated to the Horizons Lounge. Breakfast is served in the basement ballroom.
Yes, the parking is $ 19/​night. They can do whatever they want since it’s Glendale. No, you cannot cheat the system since there is a parking attendant at the booth. I believe the wifi is still complimentary.
Walls are super thin. My neighbors were listening to very bad Drake music at 1:30 AM, followed by a romantic session for the next hour or so. I heard it all and still went to work the next day. Rooms are badly in need of a facelift all-​around as you can definitely notice the age of this place.

I would have given one more star, but while I was lying in bed looking at my phone at 11:30pm, the bathroom faucet turned on by itself. The room was very quiet, then I heard the sound in the bathroom. I was so creeped out after I went and turned it off… if I was by myself (my husband was asleep and I woke him up to tell him, he thought nothing of it), I would have changed rooms right then. I could hardly sleep after that.
RM. 511!

This Hilton is going though some big upgrades! Much better and nicer than it used to be. The only terrible thing is the restaurant… Food was seriously awful! So, eat somewhere else and go to the restaurant for drinks with a view.

Stayed at the Hilton Glendale the weekend before Thanksgiving, I’m only giving 4 stars because of the renovation noises we heard throughout the day. Really loud but we managed to get over the sound. Hey it was a good wake up call! Ha! But it was alright they’re just making the hotel more awesome! :)
The hotel is nice and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet they offer is amazing, a bit pricey at $ 17.00 per person but it had a variety of food to choose from and all of the food was really good!
Our room had a really nice view and our room was great. The beds could’ve been bigger but it’s all good, still slept like a baby!
My experience was great. Would stay here again 100%. Hilton Glendale you rock!

I can’t remember the last time I had to pay for parking at a hotel I was staying at… here, it’s $ 19/​night even for guests. Maybe this is something new in the industry, but it was totally unexpected, so we were not off to a good start. Especially since we got it on Priceline, and if this is a mandatory fee for guests, I feel like they should have disclosed it or something. Anyway, moving on…
Staff was curt and and to the point. Didn’t really seem to care about hospitality — just gimme your credit card and move along please… elevator to your right.
I get to the room which is small but at least looks clean. It’s 2 double beds, so we have to sleep separately because they were COMPLETELY booked up for the night. (side note: They should really teach better lies to their staff… Maybe they really think we’re that stupid, but when the parking lot is that empty, it’s almost offensive to be so blatantly lied to.)
Anyway, the sheets looked clean and the bed was comfortable (that’s their one star). But as I navigate the room, I keep smelling cheesy feet from time to time. First it was by the bed stand, then down by the desk. It comes and goes and I try to figure out where it’s coming from, but can’t quite pinpoint the location. It’s strong and odoriferous, but after a few minutes of searching, I give up. I keep my shoes on for the rest of the night so I don’t wake up with fuzzy mildew on my feet…
Before going to bed, the leftover dinner I had planned on tucking away in the fridge had to be eaten because they locked the cabinet to the fridge. It seems with the declining demand for pre-​stocked snacks and beverages, they’ve decided to lock them up and save costs on electricity.
We finally go to bed, longing for each other across the chasm of rift between our separate beds… wishing we would have lost some weight and be able to sleep comfortably, but cozily on a double bed… But alas, we cry ourselves to sleep… or at least TRY TO!!! For me, it was the damn heater or some other fan-​like contraption going off ALL NIGHT LONG in the adjacent room. The walls are so thin and un-​insulated that I can’t sleep AT ALL! I literally slept for about an hour maybe. My better half was already a bit under the weather, but the heater dried out the room so much she was coughing all night long. And even though we had it on all night, it barely seemed to heat the room. I know this is California, and we rarely use heaters, but you would think the Hilton would do a better job…
All in all, it was a horrible night, and we vowed never to stay at another Hilton again. It seems the brand has definitely fallen on hard times. I’ve honestly stayed at a nicer Best Western that had more amenities. I don’t know if they’re cutting corners to sell off their properties, or trying to avoid bankruptcy. but I think HLT might be a good candidate for a short position (not to be construed as investment advice). I dare say, Nicky and Paris would do a better job managing this place. And if they value their fortune at all, they’d better start swinging an ax at the next board meeting.

We just finished our one night stay at the Hilton Glendale. I was apprehensive at first due to the negative reviews but I took my chances with my $ 99 groupon which included parking and breakfast for two. I was so pleasantly surprised with my visit.
Checking in
Check in is at 3pm but when I called around 1:30pm to ask if I could come earlier they said np.
My room was located on the 4^th floor. I didn’t notice any construction that other reviewers noted but perhaps it’s because I stayed there on a weekend and construction was on break.
About the location
It’s just a short distance to all of our tourist wish lists such as studio city, the Griffith observatory, Hollywood, Koreatown and Chinatown. The hotel is also within walking distance of a Trader Joes and Walgreens as well as a few non commercial restaurants.
Amenities within
Our room came with two full size beds and more importantly it was clean and stocked. The con was the popcorn ceiling and the lack of a mini refrigerator. On the plus side I was happy with the Peets coffee and Peter Thomas Roth toiletries.
Parking
Our parking was included in our package and allowed in and out privileges. We kept the same parking ticket throughout our stay and just told the attendant what room we were in. Most spaces are compact but there was plenty of parking available and always near an elevator which was centrally located on each floor.
Breakfast
This was a legit continental breakfast. There were eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, pastries, bagels, toast, fruit, juice and coffee. Since I wanted to eat in my room I was provided two to go containers to carry it up.
Service
From the check in process to the parking attendant, I found the service to be great. Everyone was friendly.
I would come and stay again if I am in this area.

Aesthetically speaking, this Hilton is trapped in 1992. From the gift shop selling postage stamps and L.A. sweatshirts to the billowy postmodern furniture in the rooms, not much has changed here for the past few decades.
On the plus side, this means you can get great weekday rates, beginning at $ 150 for a queen room. Everything still works, the linens are immaculate and there’s a small lounge with Golden Road beer.
On the minus, the hotel just began an extensive refurbishment. I’m not sure how this will effect prices or the overall «feel» of your stay, but it should make an impact. I’d advise against staying on floors that remain under construction over the next few months.
Northern Glendale isn’t a vacation spot, but with the recent explosion in local real estate prices, you might end up paying a small fortune to stay here. Enjoy.

Stayed here Labor Day weekend when I attended a wedding in the area.
Pros:
Free wifi that was pretty fast
Good water pressure
Free breakfast in the morning that included eggs, bacon, sausage, etc.
The view from the window was pretty
Walking distance to a 24 restaurant
Cons:
The carpet had a layer of film on it. Our friends said they experienced the same thing in theirs, so I’m thinking it was residue from when it was cleaned.
The AC is on a motion sensor, so when you’re sleeping and not moving it turns off, resulting in you waking up hot a couple of times a month.
The pillows have down feathers so they don’t provide much support. Woke up kinda stuff both mornings.
Overall, I’d stay here again if I was in the area, but I’ll bring my own pillows and possibly a fan.

Came here for a wedding and it was not half bad. Found it on a
deal for cheaper than the wedding deal. The room was clean and the service was decent when we needed extra towels. The parking situation is a little crazy despite there being lots of options. Overall would try this place again if we ended up in Glendale.

This Hilton is a little dated, but service is decent. Our room was clean and and comfortable. However, the bathroom was a little odd– it had a pocket door and there were no hooks to hang up towels. We had to use the shower curtain rod to dry our towels. There were Peter Thomas Roth toiletries as usual.
Underground self parking with in-​and-​out privileges is $ 19/​night. Ouch, but what can you do? There is plenty of parking with elevators accessible at each floor of the parking deck.
If you forgot some toiletries or want a snack, the c-​store is right by the elevator. Much better than some dinky vending machines.
The restaurant is alright, too. Looking around, most people ordered the burger with the shoestring fries. The flatbreads are pretty delicious if you don’t want a burger.
Not much else to say– it’s not the fanciest hotel, but it is clean and service is friendly. Location is conveniently right off the freeway and a few minutes to downtown Glendale. Trader Joes is a few blocks away.

Staff is friendly and there is a ²⁴⁄₇ gym, free wifi and a rooftop bar and small pool that aren’t too shabby. The room was large but had a carpeted floor covered in stains. This made me almost pick 2 stars but I felt that was harsh since everything else was decent. I would say as far as hotel stars go, this feels like a 3 star. I think it has potential if they get those carpets out and revamp the look. Getting rid of the carpets would probably get rid of the musty smell, too.
They had a breakfast that was decent, also — but I had to check if things (like the breakfast wrap) had meat in them — which is unusual since they were not labeled. But the staff was friendly and helpful and found out for me.
So… in Glendale, I do not think this is a bad hotel option at all. In fact, I’d stay there again if I needed to. But is this the luxury hotel experience of your dreams? No, no it is not. But it’s a nice place to stay if you require just the basics and appreciate a friendly staff.
