Overall, a very solid stay at Embassy Suites LAX…read more The rooms were clean and comfortable. The complimentary room snacks and perks were a fantastic, thoughtful touch that we really enjoyed as well as free self srrve breakfast. My only real complaint is the steep parking situation--paying nearly $70 a night on top of the room rate felt excessive If they adjusted the parking fee, it would easily be a five-star stay, but it's still a convenient and nice place to crash near the airport.

The smell of mold is suffocating when the air blows in the room. On top of that the furniture is in disrepair. The bed was more like a cheap $50 mattress rather than an actual bed. There was blood on the chair in the room. On a side note this was the first Hilton branded property not ready for reception and that you couldn't charge to the room, kind of makes the credit card benefits not worth it.

It was ok.. The…read moregood: Staff was great. Good food at Barcotta. Excellent bartender during evening reception (I forgot her name). The hotel does not advertise EV charging since most of their chargers are out of service. However, they have one working charger for free. Nice little bonus. The not so good: Breakfast was blah... not the best. Limited options and low wuality. Evening reception was very limited. Luckily they have a restaurant onsite.

It was nice and easy finding this spot - super close to LAX. We pulled into the parking garage,…read morewent up to the front desk, checked in, and found out that we were staying in a handicap suite since our bathroom was the size of a small palace and the shower was the size of a large closet. Loved having the separate living room and mini fridge, as well as having not one, but THREE different sinks. Much needed when you have four women sharing a room together. The breakfast in the morning was solid. Lots of options and the different drink options were completely free too! The pool was kind of on the small side and there were only like two lounge chairs which were always taken, so we didn't even try to visit the pool. However, the vibe of the entire first floor/lobby/bar area made up for it. The layout of this place is so aesthetically pleasing. You'll see what I'm talking about in the photos I attached. The staff were always super helpful and friendly. It was super easy pulling in and out of the parking garage whenever we left/returned. My only gripe was the $48 a day for parking. That is A LOT even for LA standards, but you are super close to the airport I guess.

I loved my stay at the Embassy Suites in Glendale. I liked the location, it was central to shopping…read moreand restaurants in the area with easy access to the highway. I also liked the underground parking for security and convenient access to the hotel late at night. The rooms were clean and updated and the lobby and halls were luxuriously decorated as well. Along with the competitive pricing for rooms, the hotel offers a social hour with complimentary drinks and light snacks. This along with the amazing complimentary breakfast really sets this hotel apart from the others in the area. I have never seen a complimentary breakfast that offered as much as this one. They offer a custom omelet bar along with a buffet of other hot breakfast foods, oatmeal, fruit, cereals and breads and a variety of pastries. In addition to the offering, the dining area was well staffed with attentive servers and wait staff. A beautiful hotel, luxury accommodations and attentive staff.

I have stayed at Embassy Suites by Hilton Glendale multiple times and am a loyal Hilton customer…read more In general, I've always appreciated Hilton hotels because of their friendly and accommodating staff. Unfortunately, my most recent stay was extremely disappointing. There were several maintenance and cleanliness issues throughout my stay. The bathroom conditioner dispenser was not properly secured to the wall and repeatedly fell off during the night. Although it was supposedly fixed, the same issue happened multiple times. The coffee machine was also not cleaned properly. It still contained old black residue left behind by a previous guest, and I had to request a replacement. The worst issue was the bathroom. There was a strong sewage odor that made it feel like we were next to a sewer. I reported it to the front desk, but despite informing them, the problem was never resolved during our stay. To make matters worse, when I received my final bill, I was charged $3 for a bottle of water that I had used to rinse the dirty coffee machine because it was unusable as provided. What disappointed me the most was the lack of management involvement. Despite all of these issues, the General Manager never reached out to acknowledge the poor experience. A simple concern for the guest's experience would have gone a long way. I have always enjoyed staying at Hilton properties, which is why this experience was so surprising. I hope management takes guest feedback more seriously and provides additional customer service training to ensure situations like this are handled much better in the future.

I'm giving 3 stars because our check in took over an hour, which was frustrating after a long day…read more The biggest issue, however, was what happened around 5:00 a.m. A man appeared to be trying to force his way into our room through the sliding glass door while I was feeding my baby. Thankfully, the upper security latch prevented him from getting inside. The staff responded and apologized, but we were never offered a different room, even though the main sliding door lock appeared to have been compromised during the incident. After that, we couldn't sleep because we no longer felt safe. I'm sharing our experience so other guests, especially families with children, are aware.

This hotel is all facade. From the exterior and photos, you'd think you're booking a decent Hilton…read moreproperty. Unfortunately, it's another poorly managed franchise that does nothing but hurt the Hilton brand. Check-in took nearly 2 hours. My original room still wasn't ready at 5:00 PM, so I was moved to a different room. The moment I walked in, I was hit with a strong odor of dirty, moldy socks. The HVAC air filter looked like it hadn't been changed in ages. I was then moved to a second room, but only after waiting another hour while staff inspected it at my request to make sure it didn't have the same issues. Sadly, the second room was just as disappointing. While it didn't smell as bad, it had numerous maintenance issues and visible damage that made me question how it was ever cleared for a guest. The only positive part of this experience was the front desk staff. They were friendly, courteous, and genuinely tried to help. My frustration is directed at the ownership and management for allowing the property to deteriorate to this level. Hilton should hold franchise owners to a much higher standard.

When you're dealing with any government agency I find it best to be prepared. Understand the…read moreprocess and what is needed, especially what docs you need to present. With AI technology quickly becoming more prevalent many government agencies are not allowing walk ins except for certain cases. You will be required to make an appointment. We found this to be true with the Consulate here. In the state of California there are only 2 locations. The Consulate General of the Republic of Korea can be found in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The San Francisco office also consuls over Colorado, Utah and Wyoming while the Los Angeles office includes Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico. We needed to renew a Korean passport. After visiting the website we found the steps fairly easy to follow. For any other office it is best to check their own respective websites. The steps are not standard and can be entirely different. We made an online appointment through the 365 Overseas Korean Portal. The appointment was 1.5 weeks away. I thought it would be much further out but thankful for the shorter time. You then need to fill out their form and submit that. It's basic information and what it is you're trying to do. Simple. With that set we went through the steps again to make sure we had the proper documents needed. In this case your Korean passport a valid U.S. passport/Green Card/Visa. You also need your Driver's License and work permits. They wanted photo copies. Luckily they have a copy machine there for 25cents a copy. Not bad just remember to bring quarters. You will also need a passport size photo taken by a professional. This part use to erq me. If you don't have that, this consulate has a photo booth on the premises for you to take that photo. And it's free of charge. When you sit in the booth it tells you what to do. Tilt your head up, turn to the left, etc. It was great. This office only accepts cash, and had to be the exact amount. Found that strange. Not sure if that's true for all the others and is best to check those websites. The good thing is this office has a change machine. It's best to figure what fees you need to pay, and what the total is so you know what the exact amount is. We brought this with us and extra cash in case there would be something surprisingly we would have to pay for. That didn't happen. It also adivses to bring a self addressed express mail envelope for them to mail your passport . In our case, however, that option was not available.. How that was going to be handled would have to wait till the appointment. Right next to the consulate is a parking lot. It is not free unless you have an appointment with the consulate and you get your ticket validated. Fulfill those 2 requirements and your parking is free. If not be prepared to pop some twenties. Not sure if they give change. It is also important to note this office closes at noon to break for lunch. So, plan your visits accordingly or you could be waiting longer than you like. Our appointment was at 11:00 to 11:30. We got there at 11:11 on a Wednesday. Once you're in there you need to make the copies you need. We did. Get your photo. We did and it was actually fun. Then, you can take a number to be qued. There were 4 people before us not all were renewing passports. And only 2 tellers. The reviews talk badly about teller #2. She was not there. And they talked sweetly of number 7. He was not there either. When our number was called I was surprised we waited only 26 minutes. We presented our documents and stated what my wife needed. The agent started going through the paper work, clattering away filling in digital forms and documents and glancing at other references to ensure she was doing everything correctly. And in 9 minutes it was done. She said everything was good and needed to return on a specific date to pick up the passport. If we cannot pick it up that day, we could pick it up any other day they are open. We would not need to stand in line just go to the front teller to request it and it would be there. I guess the brown bag of food was not needed. This whole process may seem confusing and frustrating but in taking the time to review it was easier than expected. The steps\instructions were very clear. The copy machine, change machine and photo booth were big pluses. The agents were nice and pleasant. Why can't they all be like this?

This was our first time staying at this particular Embassy Suites location, and unfortunately, the…read moreoverall experience was disappointing, especially compared with other Hilton properties we've stayed at. The service wasn't necessarily bad, but nothing about it was particularly memorable or welcoming. At other locations, we've typically been offered complimentary bottles of water, but here we had to ask for them. When we did, the gentleman at the front desk asked for our room number, which seemed a little odd for something as simple as water. That ended up being just the tip of the iceberg. As soon as we got settled into our room, we noticed a foul, mildew-like odor in the living room area. The breakfast area also wasn't being kept very clean. There were crumbs and food debris throughout the area, and it was pretty apparent that no one was consistently keeping up with the tables and general cleanliness while guests were eating. I was also surprised by the $200 deposit, as that's not something we've encountered during our stays at several other Hilton properties. What made the experience even stranger was the amount of emphasis on tipping despite how disorderly things felt. There were QR code table tents encouraging tips, additional tipping information in the room, and even a physical tip jar prominently displayed in the breakfast area. I have no issue tipping for good service, but having so many reminders asking guests to tip while the dining area itself wasn't being properly maintained felt a little tone deaf. One other thing that really stood out: breakfast closes at 10:30, but if guests are already inside and still eating, why close the doors around them? It came across as tacky and made the experience feel unnecessarily unwelcoming. Closing breakfast service at the designated time is completely understandable, but guests who are already seated should be allowed to finish without feeling like the place is being shut down around them. Overall, the entire stay just felt weird and unorganized. Having stayed at several Hilton properties before, we expected a more polished and hospitable experience from Embassy Suites. Unfortunately, this location fell noticeably short of that.

I am writing this to express my deep frustration with the Philippine Consulate General…read more Yesterday, I accompanied my sister-in-law to her 9:30 AM dual citizenship appointment. The staff working the windows were extremely rude, unprofessional, and acted like they were superior while treating applicants like nobody. To make matters worse, staff members were literally eating at the window while attending to people. Her application was checked and verified at the counter, payment was collected, and she was instructed to wait for the oath-taking ceremony scheduled before noon. After waiting for two and a half hours, her name was finally called at noon for the oath, only for them to inform her that her birth certificate was missing her parents' details. They halted the process on the spot. Despite this being a clear oversight during their initial verification, they refused to give her a refund. The initial review is supposed to catch basic document issues before taking an applicant's money and wasting their time. Combining this level of incompetence with condescending attitudes and unprofessional behavior is completely unacceptable.

We were staying for the purpose of Monday and Tuesday Surfing Camp with Salty Grom, and we wanted to make sure we were not late for the first two days. Now, this hotel, even though close to Disneyland, is in Garden Grove city ordinance, in which, Digital Key wont be activated unless you stopped by the front desk. That was a bummer because I love Hilton for the purpose of bypassed the front desk check in, especially with my eldest currently in crutches. Requested extra pillows through chat and we got it right away. Kuddos. No TV Streaming services. Air conditioning wouldnt go below 69F and made a loud noises. Breakfast was decent even though I just got coffee and my kids did not get any breakfast. Parking was plenty, but filled ip quickly after 3 pm when guests came back from Disneyland. Same thing with pool and hot tub, it was nice and relaxing up until surge of guests came in after their Disney trip. In same complex with Buca and one and half block from Target. 30 min to Bolsa Chica State Beach and 20 min to Kaiser Anaheim Medical Center.

I went into up the elevator, went into the building, checked in, and went up to floor 17. There was a security guard that took your packet and x-rayed it. He showed me he put it into the a cart and i was done. Went back to valet, paid my ticket. $10 for 20mins. Not the cheapest but felt lucky it was only 20mins. 5days later, i got an email that my visa was approved. Printed our my email and went back to the consulate. Did everything the same except this time, i picked up at a window on floor 17. I gave them the email, they found my passport, made me me sign for acceptance and i was done. $10 for 20min again. The process was super efficient and the staff, security, valet were all super nice!

It's so silly you can't "check in" at the lobby until 5 minutes before your appointment…read more So by then, you actually end up waiting in line with other people that was assigned the same appointment time as you. We all know parking in LA is a nightmare, but I still have to say their garage parking rate at $5 for every 10 minutes - again, if you arrive too early, the clock is ticking on your parking fees that you have zero control over! With a daily maximum of $46, it's straight out robbery. And the fact they provide no validation parking for people who are basically forced to come here; it's not like we want to come here for fun. So don't even think about parking here if you need to fill out an application. I knew this beforehand, so I decided to walk miles here instead. I also did the application online for more convenience (not having to visit this place twice), but their integration with their app can also be confusing and finicky to use. Once you tell the lobby receptionist your purpose of visit/show ID, they will give you a sticker to put on yourself, and then security will escort you to the elevator. The office is on the 17th floor. You go through security again to enter the office and grab a ticket number to be called. Luckily, this part went smoothly (as long as you followed their requirements on what to bring) Picking up passport for me was $106. I honestly wish they would have more convenient locations to pick it up because I hate driving down to traffic-ghetto-price-gouging LA and deal with the parking and all the hassles included.

We have made multiple attempts to resolve this privately.

We are still simply asking the hotel to honor what we were told and provide a reasonable resolution for our stay.
