I love Glendale. I'm not Armenian and have not traveled to Armenia but feel the city, culture, and immigrant dynamic make the city incredibly charming. The food is amazing - the best kabobs in the world are located in Glendale. If you get a chance, hit the local markets that are run by families - you'll feel like you've taken a step back in time in a really fun way. It's a very safe and exceptionally clean city as well. For those who like to hike, Verdugo Mountain is a wonderful challenge and worth the journey as you'll reach the summit and enjoy spectacular views of the LA Basin. Golden Road Brewery is another great spot to visit - family and dog friendly and the food and staff are terrific. Glendale is an understated and underrated city that deserves more kudos than it receives. I'll visit again for sure!

I enjoyed walking on Brand Blvd. and visiting Porto's Bakery. Delicious food and decadent pastires with a pleasant sidewalk sitting area. I also enjoyed visiting The Americana and Glendale Galleria for shopping. If I had been in the area longer, I would have liked to visit nearby Descanso Gardens and taken a Paramount Pictures tour. Glendale is also very ethnically diverse which is always a plus when visiting a city.

The downtown area was busy. We stayed the first weekend of December, Christmas decorations were everywhere. Very festive, happy atmosphere. Felt safe in the downtown area. Very pretty water show. The tater place wasnt very good and a bit pricey.

Best Western Plus was only a plus because of the remodel. There was nothing that made me feel like the room was a King Deluxe. The Rooms were tiny and it was a poorly done remodel. The Quality of the company doing the remodel was bad and No pride or integrity in the work. overall not impressed. Positive note, the staff was friendly, courteous and professional. They gave alternate options for gym usage by using sister property or LA Fitness and being reimbursed for day pass.

Glendale is a beautiful place, clean and has lots of nature feel re trees and flowers that you can see around. We love that there's Americana and malls are very near and walking distance to our hotel.

I wrote a previous review, (Bloody Bed) but forgot to mention another MAJOR problem, I'm disabled and need to use a mobility chair as I cannot walk. When I made my reservation, I specifically requested an ADA handicapped room. Upon arrival and check in, I reconfirmed I was getting a handicapped room, I was assured I was. The fact is IT WAS NOT!!!!!! They had a large bathroom with a tube, not a Rollin shower! The bathroom tub had grab bars, but how does a person that can't walk get in and out of a tube with legs that don't work.... They said the would bring a chair for me to sit in in the tub. So I tried it, and promptly fell off the chair Twice!!!!!! THIS IS NOT AN ADA ROOM. ITS A DEATH TRAP. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS FACILITY. What they call an ADA room is not, I should know, I'm an ADA commissioner. So between the death trap tub and the Bloddy "murder scene" bed..... oh and their total lacking breakfast, I seriously doubt I shall return. Oh P.S. on the bed, whoever made up the room before my arrival, had to see the major blood stain in the bed and the separate urine stain on the bed, bud just made the bed anyway.....what HORRIBLE NAUSIATING and DISGUSTING...AND DANGEROUS STAY IT WAS. And after all I went through, they did not offer me and discount, or anything, just a weak explanation on a new maid and or how many room a maid must clean .... Frankly, I don't care, I only cared about my stay! And for that they failed miserably.
