Days Inn Glendale Los Angeles

I travel a lot and this is definitely hotel is definitely one of the worst. Free parking and location make the one star worth it. Ive stayed in a handful of off brand hotels that weren’t very nice but I was surprised that a national brand like this would be so bad.
I couldn’t believe how filthy and outdated the rooms were. Everything about the room was extremely outdated. And I didn’t want to touch things. The carpet was so old that it was matted, stained, pulling up.
Luckily I arrived late and night and left first thing in the morning because it didn’t want to be there any longer than necessary.
Do yourself a favor and spend a few more dollars and stay somewhere else

Gross! If you’re not a smoker, don’t even think of coming here. Supposedly non-​smoking, but you can smell it in the hallway as you get off the elevator. We put the air on and it didn’t help. Worse than Vegas!

Do not go here. Rooms smell like cigarette smoke and dust is everywhere. Stained walls, stained carpets, stained sofa, and wifi is horrible.

My daughter and I stayed here last night. At 7:30 am I wake up to a knock on my door, hear a key card being used, and our door open. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to use the chain lock the night before. I ran to the door, afraid my young daughter and I were being robbed or worse! It was a male employee. He asked me what time we were checking out. What?! The front desk needs to know what time you are checking out? Check out is at noon, so noon. Why are you entering my room? Why are you here? You need to call the front desk and he walked away. No apology, no explanation. Why would an employee enter a room at 7:30 am! I called the front desk, the Days Inn national office, and filed a complaint with the Glendale Police. The manager called me back apologizing. Fine. But what kind of policy or employee is that. Who just uses their key and enters a room? Then doesn’t explain themselves, apologize, nothing! I honestly thought we were being robbed!
The room was clean. Very dated. If you are 5’6″ or taller you will need to bend down to use the shower head as it is mounted very low. The wifi wasn’t working while we were there. No breakfast. One elevator wasn’t working. The manager was very apologetic about what happened, but that didn’t ease any of my concerns.
I wouldn’t stay here again even if it was free

Disgusting! The only good thing about this place is free parking. I think next time I’d rather pay for parking I won’t be staying here! Filthy, old, stinks, & slider doesn’t securely lock. Half the ppl there look like long term renters?! Still checking my luggage for bed bugs! Gross!

Stayed here for one night ($ 88) despite the reviews. I regret it.
My room phone rang a total of 5 times during my stay each time with a hang up after I’d pick up. I called the front desk about it twice & they said I quote «I don’t know, we aren’t calling you». Learn to greet people who stay with you & not be so shitty cuz you hate your job at a front desk then maybe you’ll have more than 2 stars.

This hotel is a hellhole. I have stayed on the extended stays side for business purposes off and on over the years (i will no longer stay there though due to the drastic recent increase in rent prices), so i can leave an in depth review of what goes on here. Consider this your bible to all things Days Inn Glendale:
–wifi is virtually useless and severely overpriced. something like 5 dollars for 3 hours, 10 dollars for 3 days, 30 dollars a month for a severely limited service that constantly cuts out. turns off, lags to a stop, and bans you instantly if it even detects a torrent program on your computer. if youre trying to do anything important on this wifi, you can just forget about that right now.
–police are CONSTANTLY patrolling the hotel and harassing residents. Ive been stopped at least 3 – 5 times and harassed by police for no good reason (sometimes theyre undercover). apparently this hotel has a prostitution ring being run out of it, so theyre always trying to catch someone for something. theyve even harassed me for just sitting in my car waiting for the engine to heat up. theyll even patrol the parking lot and give out registration expiration tickets to parked cars. these pigs are ruthless
–elevators are always breaking, move slow as hell, half the lights are broken, and look like the inside of a court house elevator in down town LA with bad/​broken/​tacky decorating and tagging scratched into everything possible. they refuse to hire real repairmen to come out and just fix the elevators for good, so they just keep breaking. theyre scary as hell to use too. sometimes you swear to god youre going to die as the thing is banging against the sides of the walls and making cable snapping noises. ive gotten stuck in the elevator on one occasion as the doors wouldnt open
–maid service doesnt even give people on extended stays side toilet paper, towels, or soap. maid manager was constantly trying to sneak into my room uninvited on purpose to snoop on me/​snoop on her workers (i dont think she works there anymore though cuz i did not seen her the last time i was there). told her multiple times i didnt want her coming in, and even put 3 signs on the door, yet she still would do it
–hallways on bottom 2 floors smell like a pound. cigarette smoke and concentrated dog piss smell completely overtake the hallways making them unbearable to walk through. theres even a room on the first floor that has chain smokers living in it that have destroyed the room to the point where even their door is yellow and they constantly leave the door open filling the hallway with their obnoxious cigarette smoke
–the carpeting in hallways is so tacky and bad that its not even consistent. halfway down the hall it suddenly changes to a completely different carpet because they dont give a crap about the tenants living there and let the 2/​3rds of the hotel run down to s… t
–laundry room is the most expensive laundry room ive ever seen. 2 dollars a load, 1.50 to purchase a single use pack of soap, and the machines are constantly breaking down. plus theres only 3 to a room, so its always in use because theres only 2 laundry rooms for the entire hotel.
–no gym
–they have 3 parking lots, yet one of them is a police trap. everyone that parks in it gets harassed by police for no reason because glendale cops are bored. its gotten so bad that everyone is too afraid to park in it now and its always empty. because its always empty, the hotel rented it out to a construction company who now uses it to house all their equipment (people ive met that live on the Pacific side said they cant sleep anymore because the construction vehicles are constantly beeping and making loud noises starting at 7am). the other 2 lots are always full because they allow anyone to park in them including tour bus’s, construction companies, and the phone company thats across the street.
— the last time i stayed there, my car was broken into
–beds are uncomfortable as hell with no padding. sheets have cig burns in them
–power is constantly going out. you cant even run anything or else it knocks the power out
–tvs that come with rooms are outdated as hell tube tvs and only have like 10 channels
–walls are made out of thick concrete. this is a good thing because it allows privacy if you want to listen to music or have conversations without neighbors listening in. this is a bad thing because it makes it so cellphones dont work at all and wifi is almost impossible to connect to stably because it keeps losing signal due to signal failing to go through thick walls. Ive often seen people sitting in the hallway to get a good connection because it barely works in the rooms
–rooms just look outdated and crappy. bad carpeting, bad /​broken furniture, some rooms have stained walls/​ceilings.

Before my wife and I moved in together she would stay at this hotel on a monthly rate. The first room was on the 6^th floor. We ended up changing because the noise from the rush hour traffic on Pacific street was too much, as well as, noise from the emergency vehicles driving by. Also the heater made the room smell like burnt hair or dust like it hadn’t been used in a while. The bathroom door wouldn’t close which was annoying cause you’d never get that feeling of absolute privacy. And it was also hot cause we were on the sunny side.
Eventually we requested a new room which was on the 3^rd floor facing the courtyard. So one night my wife and I are laying in bed its about 3am, out if nowhere I awakened by someone screaming «You’re not gonna kill me. You can’T effing kill me.» Then I hear glass shatter. Then the emergency fire alarm goes off. Next foot steps running down my hallway. I made sure the doors were locked and peeked out the window to see if emergency responders would arrive. First one police car then another, a total of six cop cars, 2 fire trucks and a ambulance. Everyone in the hotel either came out or were looking out from their balconies until daylight broke. Nothing of the incident was ever addressed by the staff. The whole event was brushed under the table but the incident creeped me out.
Last night before going to bed we heard water dripping. Upon investigating we saw that it was coming from the ceiling. I guess out upstairs neighbor forgot to shut off the faucet and flooded their room. We called the concierge. They advised that they can send someone up to vacuum up the water out of our soaking carpet or we can wait till morning. They brought us up a generous bundle of towels.
The service is great the rooms are out dated. Which reminds me the TVs at this place are ancient. I literally see people leave old tvs by the side of the road that are newer than the ones in our room. Forget flat screen im talking about a big ol clunky tube television with input only for the cable. I had an xbox 360 but no was to connect it cause the tv didn’t even have RCA inputs. The wifi here is &30 per month more and i heard its choppy.
They have a laundry room a little video game arcade and a dinner. The building to me looks like a tenement from the USSR and a disproportionate number of tenants here are Russian or Armenian. Nothing wrong with that, just a heads up. Q

The internet is available but it turns off every 3 minutes and makes me login and type password every single time. I needed to work on my computer from hotel, and this was not acceptable. So we complained to receptionists but they didn’t care. The only solution was that we had to do our work from the lobby where the internet actually worked. Not even in the comfort of the ROOM WE ARE PAYING FOR.
We also asked if they have plastic forks and spoons so we can eat the food we brought. They told us the restaurant is closed and they can’t get us any. It was only 9pm.
The bathroom was clean. The room is dark, lights don’t work, it smells of must and cigarettes, there are stains on the carpet and floor. This is definitely not worth the price.

So far… i hate this place. Way to expensive for what I got. One, drain is clogged in shower. Good luck getting someone to fix that. Two, patio door wont open. Smokers nightmare. Three, parking sucked. Apparently they just let everyone park there. Four, there was strange hair on my pillow. Disgusting. I’ve spent alot less and recieved better accommodations.

Let us check in BEFORE check in time at no additional cost. Room is big and clean. King size bed plus sofa bed. Free parking. Convenient restaurant with great tasting food at a great price. I Lysoled everything because OCD, but very happy that the room is so clean. Microwave and fridge/​freezer combo is perfect since I’m traveling with a little one. Ac works great. Shower has just the right amount of water pressure. I got a good deal for my money. Thanks Travelocity. You got this one right!
I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT ALL THE STAFF IS FRIENDLY!

My room had small black bugs and hair on the sheets! The shower had bugs in it and the room smelled of Chinese food. The housekeeper changed the sheets, removed the bedspreads from the room and sprayed the shower with bleach. This was the worst hotel experience I ever had! I booked it on
. The owner of this hotel should be fined and the Health department should shut this place down, absolutely disgusting!

This is my first hotel review. My family and I are still trying to figure out the categories we want to encompass in our review. Overall we were pretty happy with our impromptu stay at the Days Inn located in Glendale, CA.
LOCATION: The location was prime– right off the 134 Fwy, and very close to the I-​5 interchange (less than 2 minutes). Streetwise– we were VERY close to our beloved PORTOs Pastry (a MUST TRY for everyone!!!), the Grove shopping place and to the Glendale Galleria. We were in the area to visit Universal Studios and Hollywood. Universal was about 15 – 20 min away, the same for Hollywood, the Greek Theater and the Observatory.
ROOM/​ACCOMMODATIONS: We had a reservation for a room with 2 double beds– room #312. We would describe our accommodations as no frills, but clean. Our room had a balcony and faced the back of the hotel. We could see the parking lot and we were right over the pool. There was an air conditioning unit, a microwave, a refrigerator with very small freezer section, a table with 2 chairs, a TV with cable (we watched some Encore channels), a safe (for valuables) and a «closet area» (no doors to constitute a closet, but there were hangers and a place to hang your clothes and jackets). The beds were comfy and clean.
BATHROOM: The bathroom was clean but very outdated. Towels were clean and they brought up more at our request. The shower head pressure was acceptable and it even had a massage head. Our biggest complaint is about the shower drain– it clogged and took forever for the water to go down. For this alone– I would have to really downgrade our number of stars and our overall review. Had to rinse our feet out before getting out– it was pretty gross.
HOSPITALITY: Check in time is 2pm, checkout time is NOON. We arrived here at around 1pm– the front desk clerk was able to check us in early at no extra charge. They warned us that checkout time is NOON, and staying any time after that would incur a $ 28 charge for going over the check out time. We checked out at 1130am– so I don’t know if this actually happens. The clerks were «nice enough» but did not appear happy to be there. I felt like I was bothering the clerks both at checkin and checkout. But let me be clear, they were never rude, just appeared irritated.
Overall– we would stay here again for a night or two. I would check the shower next time to see if there was a problem, but for the price we paid– it wasn’t a bad value.
Location: ⁵⁄₅
Room/​Accomodations: 3 – 3.5÷5
Bathroom: 1.5÷5
Hospitality: ³⁄₅

I was extremely excited to find a hotel with a fridge and a microwave. We had been planning our first vacation for the past couple months, and everything was perfect except for one thing. Staying at this hotel. The hallway to our room was hot and muggy. It also had a strange smell. When we got to our room there was skin flakes on the couch, water damage in the ceiling, the water from the sink smelled like eggs and there was a roach on the dinning table. I paid just under $ 200 for two nights, which is a great price for a hotel, but not a hotel that was poorly maintained. I’m beyond disappointed with this place and will not be staying here again.

good place for vacations near Universal Studios
10 driving minutes away from Universal Studios Hollywood. Direct on the Highway
Front Desk Staff is very friendly. Room is clean and okay für around $ 100 per night. I stayed there 4 times without any problems
I see only one Problem:
This Hotels works together with a WYNDHAM Time Share Company!
I’ve had bad experiences with WYNDHAM Customer Service.
Warning: I recommend: Stay away from WYNDHAM time share or booking service ! — Kidding you–

Inexpensive with great service
Pros: Staff was very nice and it was very affordable.
Cons: The smell. It was really rank. If it wasn’t for the smell and my plumbing problems I would have given this hotel a better rating.
The hotel staff was super nice and very accommodating. My only complaint is that I wasn’t aware that it was a smoking hotel so it REEKED of musty hotel and Cigarettes. I guess they allow smoking on the first floor so since I was on the second floor everything stunk pretty bad. Inside my actual room it wasn’t too bad but the lobby and hallways were pretty rank. Also when I went to shower the tub portion wouldn’t drain so we did have to call someone up to fix that. It still wasn’t fixed properly but it wasn’t horrible. The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Despite the old décor they really did keep the room tidy. I would stay there again most likely especially because of how affordable it is. It’s not a 5 star hotel but it is the Days Inn, not the Hilton. It was close to universal studios and not too far from the down town Glendale area. It is right next to the freeway and the Pioneer restaurant was great.

I give this place an extra star for the price. Heated pool… hot tub… restaurant.. laundry.. bar… nice lobby… free parking… and 700 square foot rooms with king bed… couch/​pull-​out bed, fridge… microwave.. Free cable… free WiFi.. and a balcony with a view… all for around $ 75 per night.
And as a bonus… late check out is 6 pm.

I was a little scared to stay here after reading the Unilocal review regarding the roaches. I’d originally decided to stay here based on other website reviews and none of the other websites/​reviews mentioned bugs. I am glad to report the staff was extremely friendly, my room was clean (linens crisp, carpeting appeared freshly shampooed, and not one insect was found anywhere in the building). So why only 3 stars? Well, the bathtub could use a little work (water pressure lacking/​faucets not user friendly), the appliances (T.V. & Coffee Maker) are outdated and elevators could use a facelift. The positives are that the Inn is located next to the freeway, it’s a short drive to the Galleria, it’s in a safe location and the pricing is reasonable. It’s not a resort status hotel but it’s perfect if you’re planning your days and evenings in the city and are just looking for a place to sleep. All in all, I would stay here again.

This Hotel has some odd things going on, they do extended stay on certain floors the entire first floor is smoking (gross) and it’s super old and out dated.
The reason we gave them a three star and not a one is for an old hotel it was pretty clean. The maids do a great job! So for $ 65 a night on Memorial Day weekend it’s really not bad.

The cheapest rates in the Glendale/​Los Feliz area. For the price you’ll pay for the Days Inn, you’ll be happy with it. The hotel offers free parking, free wifi and a decent room with cable tv. No microwave or fridge (rent a fridge for $ 10 a day though). The staff, maids and front desk staff were all nice and attentive.
Stay at the Days Inn Glendale if you need a hotel in the area, cheapest rates, and no frills. The hotel room isn’t bad but a little dated but does the job. This isn’t the W or the Ritz, but it’ll do.
