Was it a pristine wonderland that made me feel like a pampered princess? No, though it seemed like…read morea place where Cons would go, it had a lot of Pros. 1) Clean. No evidence of bed bugs. No ants, roaches, fleas, etc. The towels smelled like bleach. The stairwell didn't smell like pee as stairwells are inclined to do. 2) Comfort. A/C worked. Though the shower head was even with my nose, the water was hot, clean, with good pressure. Though the bed was harder than Epstein at a Build-a-Bear, I slept fine, especially with the thin pillows, which I fold around so much at night I end up with a beautiful origami swan in the morning. The room was not cramped. Best of all it had a "wood" floor, so I could walk around barefoot. 3) Customer Service. The dude was friendly. They accommodated my late check-in (9pm) without giving my room away. 4) Wifi. It worked. 5) Other things I liked: coffeemaker, refrigerator, iron/ironing board, free parking. I may have had a microwave, I don't recall. I liked the rolling desk chair, though I doubt the people below me did. A few notes. Noise. I had the last room on a Monday night, and never heard my neighbors, though that might be different on a weekend. Outside, you might hear the cars on the nearby freeway or pneumatic tools from the mechanic next door. Parking. It's free! (yay) But there were only five tight spots in the back that require a 16 point turn to get out. The tenants on the bottom floor parked their cars in front of their room so the lane to the lot is very tight. View. I looked out my window and saw it was going to be a Goodyear. And a Michelin. And a Firestone. Yes, it is a mountain view: a mountain of tires next door. And the intersection traffic. And the freeway a block away. It's probably too expensive for them to plant tall cyprus trees on the border of their property, so maybe they could just paint trees on the window. Location. Well, it's freeway close, that's for sure. It's across the street from a liquor store, which is handy. There's a taco place open past midnight within 400 feet. And a lot of chain fast food restaurants and coffee places are a block down Foothill. Other things to see in beautiful Sylmar, nicknamed the "top of Los Angeles", which got its ironic name for the latin words of forest (silva) and sea (mar): Nethercutt Museum (classic autos and musical instruments), the famous Casades spillway that ends the 340 mile journey of LA Aqueduct water, and the piece of fallen highway from the 1971 earthquake that the Doobie Brothers posed with for their album The Captain and Me. You can watch the Sylmar Hang Gliding Association on Gridley Street near Shimshaw. They have equestian centers and recreation parks. And just a mile from Value Inn is the San Fernando Swap Meet (Th-Sun). Considering this in the adult film capital of the world I have to wonder what they swap there.

I'm very disappointed with how Granada Inn handled this situation. I booked and paid for a room…read morewith my own credit card because I was trying to help a homeless woman have a safe place to stay. She arrived, decided she didn't want to stay, and left. The hotel was made fully aware of what happened and that nobody would be staying in the room, yet they still refused to refund the first night. Hotels.com was understanding enough to refund the second night, but the hotel would not make any exception for the first. I understand cancellation policies exist, but considering the circumstances and the fact that the room was not being used, I hoped the hotel would show some compassion and at least offer a partial refund or courtesy credit. Instead, I ended up losing my own money for trying to help someone in need. Very disappointing experience.

I stayed at this hotel for one night and had a very unsettling experience. We drove seven hours and…read moreonly stayed here because it was close to CSUN, where my daughter had orientation. The TV turned on by itself at 1am, 3am, and 5am, and the alarm clock also turned on randomly during the night. It was nearly impossible to get any rest. We checked in at midnight and got settled in just before the TV turned on the first time. My daughter had to be up just after 5am, so she got no sleep because of the TV issues. When I brought this up to the lady at the front desk, she knew which room I was staying in without me even mentioning it and said other people have brought that issue up. She stated the TV is somehow set on a timer and they can't seem to fix it. Why weren't we notified at checking in? Why wasn't the TV unplugged? The next morning, I noticed a bite on my palm. I showed it to the owner, as she was coincidentally on the phone with pest control. The pest control guy told her I was bit by a mosquito. Not long after, I noticed another bite on my finger as well as bites all over my forearm. Upon leaving the parking lot, another guest told me he was bit all over his body and the hotel refunded his stay. Despite these issues, there was no offer of a discount or compensation, just an apology. I expected better from a professional establishment, especially when it comes to health, safety, and sleep quality. I will never return nor recommend this place to anyone.

Let's start with the good: excellent location for San Fernando Valley events, right off the 210,…read morelots of parking, clean, beds are comfy, nice outdoor areas (pool, tennis court, little park area for the pets), staff is very nice, within walking distance of stores/restaurants Now the not so good: nothing has been updated in this hotel since the mid 90's (think heavy colors, heavy woods, bulky objects, very small bathrooms old toilets, tubs have some scratches) Very old A/C/heater, doesn't turn off on its own. The area this is in is ok but its close to some of the rougher areas of Sylmar and attracts some of that clientele. The elevator is super weird. It's convenient and will do for a night or two. It's a little pricey for what you are getting but not having to fight LA traffic or drive all the way to Santa Clarita makes it worth it.

This would've been 5 stars if it wasn't for the trucks passing by since it's very close to the freeway. You can hear it inside your room I didn't like that. I was surprised how the room looked inside I was very satisfied with the floors and upgraded essentials and the bed was nice and spacious. Bathroom lighting was not good very dim could use an upgrade. The floors walk path was very scary for me since I'm afraid of heights. It looked lopsided not leveled almost slanted towards the parking lot. I would stay here again because of the room.

The interior is rather run down, as were the rooms. Nothing specific wasn't like roaches or rats or anything just random things like an unpatched hole in the wall, flooring popping up, etc. Also there was limited parking and no one mentioned there was parking in the back which I didn't find out until I walked the grounds the next day. Oh and neither TV worked in our rooms but it was late and we were only there the night so didn't bother mentioning it to front desk.

I booked through Expedia, which is usually reliable. I suspect that an AI chatbot is writing the information for Expedia, since most reviews were 10/10. Additionally, I wrote this same review on Expedia, and it will not let me post. I keep receiving an email that states that I need to remove pricing, profanity, or personal information.

All the walls in the hallways are dinged, marked, gouged, smeared and stained. The mattress was firm. The bedding morning to write home about, but doable. There was no plug in the tub for a bath. The"conditioning shampoo" pump bottle appeared to contain the exact same liquid as the body wash; a clear, thin, low studying liquid that fried my hair. Not too say they are required to supply quality or elite hair products. But if you are filling all the pump bottles with the same product, be clear about it. Towels were clean. AC was cranky and the room never got below 76, even with it set as low as it would go. Five during the day, but some people, like me, sleep best in a cooler room. In the room, the two armchairs were comfortable, if dates. The wallpaper was lifting on places, and spackled down in others. Amenities were not great. If there is such a thing as 1/2 ply toilet tissue, that's what they use, stiff, dry, super thin stuff. The closet does contain hangers, but they were at least 6" or more beyond my reach. I did read there was a breakfast offered. I never saw it, smelled it, heard anyone offering it. I was up and about in the lobby and common areas at 7 am, 8 am, and 9 am. There was neither a sign or note in the room, or lobby, or any info when I checked in, on where this mysterious breakfast could be found. There are several places to eat nearby, mostly fast food, with the exception of the excellent Thai restaurant walking distant on Chatsworth. Otherwise there is Popeyes, kfc, mc Donald's, Arby's, del taco, subway, Starbucks, and several other eateries nearby. The parking is slim pickings, spaces in front, that fill up quickly. Unless there is a hidden back lot, I'm not sure where everyone parks. The front of the hotel looks a bit ratty, and I was seriously taken aback when I first arrived. But, as my sister says when she saw it, it's dumpy, not unsafe. I was here to spend time with my father(17 hour shifts) in ICU, so very little of my took me was spent in the room, or hotel proper. If you are going to be gone most of the day/night. Then it's an ok place to catch a few winks. But anything else... All in all, I stayed 7 days, slept. Spent the rest of the time at Holy Cross. It is what it is. Overpriced a little, for what you get, but then, what isn't these days.

I really commend him for being such a great and patient guy. He handled rude customers with kindness. We had to stand there while another customer overreacted when we arrived. Rick tried to deescalate while remaining calm and respectful. Kudos to Rick!!! Ample parking. I don't the the area too well but it felt safe parking in a well lit parking spot. The hotel is huge. Do not expect a Ritz Carlton. We knew what we were paying for when we chose to stay here. We never bring valuables but we also did not experience the things that others complained about. The hotel was very clean. The pool was very large and clean. The rooms are gigantic. No elevator. Yes, the place is older. Don't expect a renovated upscale building. This is an older building that with clean bedsheets, spacious rooms and a place to rest your head for the night. Snack machine : everything (instant soup and candy) were $3. There is also a drink vending machine (soda and water). We loved the bed it was super firm. Not one you can jump on. Pillows were awesomely plump and comfortable. We had a great sleep. At check in, all adults staying overnight, must supply their ID. It is then scanned into their system. I suppose this is to hold all adults accountable for ruining their hotel and to stop customers from having hotel parties. The walls are thin. You can hear trucks if they are coming from behind the hotel. You can hear your neighbors walk down the hall to their rooms. Air comes in through the balcony. Bring and wear ear plugs to sleep Check out is at 11am. The area is super clean. The pool area and trees are immaculately cleaned and trees and grass trimmed. Very maintained. The balcony's are clean. The hallways feel eerie because they are long and empty. Bedrooms have linoleum/laminated wood which was nice and clean. We loved that our room and area did not smell like smoke. Some places say smoke free and you can smell smoke. We didn't not smell any smoke. Check out was easy and quick. Just walked up to the window, let him know our room and gave Rick the key and we were OUT. Room had a coffee machine, alarm clock, TV, hairdryer, clothing iron, fridge and lots of clothing drawers. Two chairs to sit and relax. TIPS: Don't bring valuables Bring ear plugs.

Came to this hotel around Noon on a Thursday. I decided on this place because it was about a 10…read moreminute walk from my boyfriend's house. I've also been here before for their hourly specials. You could ask for a room here for an hour and it's only $10 bucks. That's like super cheap. In my area you get the same deal but you have to buy at least 3 hours. The Asian dude in the front office was hard to understand. I asked him how much for a room for the whole night. He said it was $45 dollars. In all honesty I thought it was too much. I imaged paying him $30. So I asked if he can go any lower. He said $40 but I can't have anyone spend the night. I was like that's fine. Went to my room. It wasn't the flashiest. Basically a bed, a table with two chairs, a flat screen TV, and the bathroom. First thing I noticed is that I only had 1 blanket in the room. So I went back to the front desk and asked the Asian dude for another blanket. He told me there's one already in the room and if your still cold turn on the heater. So I went back to my room to find out the heater wasn't working. Well at least the TV. had basic cable so I watched TV. for a bit. Left the room around 1pm came back to the room around 4pm with my boyfriend. I was stopped by the Asian guy. He was yelling out, "One, One" I told him he's not spending the night he's just going to chill in the room for a few hours. The dude seem to understand and went back. I think the dude owns the place and lives in one of the hotel rooms. So my boyfriend and I did our thing and I took him back home around 7p.m. Getting back to my room it was actually getting kind of cold. You can hear those San Fernando winds blowing. I looked out the window but the view is not worth it. It was just of the airport across the street. My friend called so I started talking to him on the phone. I wasn't sure but I think someone was bagging against my wall to tell me to shut up or just people banging. It was kind of fun looking out my window and seeing how every hour different people leave and come into the hotel. Feel asleep watching the Food Network. Woke up left my room around 8a.m. to do some errands. Came back around 9:30am to the Asian guy reminding me that check out time is at 11a.m. So I got back to my room showered, watched a little TV. and checked out. Overall, I think this place is good. I mean it's hard to beat $10 bucks and hour. Also it's the only hotel on this street that I know has cable and flat screen TVs. Also I mean I paid $40 for a night at a hotel. My friends told me that's about average price. Only thing that messed up my stay was the Asian dude being like a "Big Brother" watching over me. He made my boyfriend uncomfortable when he told us I couldn't have any guest over. He even told me to pay the Asian dude the additional cost for having an additional person spend the night. I was like No, your not spending the night so there should be no additional cost. I've been to two other hotels in the same street, so far this one is the cleanest looking one. I might try another one next time, if I do choose to stay in that area for any reason.
