We picked the Glenmark on a literal last minute business trip. Had to book through the front desk because my Bonvoy app wasn’t working properly. From the moment we interacted with the hotel to the day that we checked out, our experience was just fantastic! Pamela at the front desk was so sweet, so kind, she made the reservation process a breeze and also treated us to complimentary parking for our first night, which we really appreciated. The hotel is only 2 years old, with a cool, modern/funky vibe. Rooms are super clean, very modern, crisp bedding, fluffy towels, classy robes (I feel so pampered w a nice hotel robe 😉). We stay at a lot of Marriott properties, and this hotel is quite the value for under $300 for the LA area. (Speaking of which, if you’re going to LA and don’t want to deal with all the traffic and difficulty of LA proper, staying in Glendale is a very nice choice. City is super clean, plenty of great restaurants, very little traffic.) We began our night with a drink in the cute downstairs bar, which had an engaging bartender, and one of the best old fashions I’ve had in a long time. We then headed up to Mya, the rooftop restaurant, and had some delicious sushi (insider report is that the sushi comes from the same source as the infamous Nobu Malibu!) The next morning before we left, we had breakfast in the downstairs café, Olia and I have to say, that food was also excellent; the menu is eclectic, but all the choices are delicious! My only complaint - and it is a small one - is that the restaurants appear to be a bit understaffed. The servers had to struggle a bit to keep up with the customers. Perhaps that will smooth itself out in time.
