This hotel is gorgeous! The showers are very relaxing, the bed and pillows are comfy, the ballroom is great for weddings, and the courtyard and pool are a nice plus The front desk was very friendly It is expensive but worth the price, I loved visiting, all of the nearby food definitely adds to the overall experience! However-The Chinese food served at the hotel is amazing! There is a Starbucks in the hotel which is very convenient since tap water is not very good and there are several grocery stores nearby

I wish this hotel had a hot tub or sauna, we didn’t realize by spa they meant something else entirely, which we always look for in a pool but that is the only thing I was missing!

Everytime my family and I stay in LA for a family function this is the perfect hotel!! Everyone that works there gives great service and very attentive to all your needs Ivan who works at front desk is my favorite! He makes us feel like we are back home in Hawaii with his excellent customer service feeling so much Aloha!! We had to ask if he was an island boy & he said he has poly friends so he understands our culture!! Marriott/Sheraton needs to recognize employees like Ivan that go above & beyond to make you feel welcome ! Love the entire front desk staff, always courteous & helpful The staff also from room service are quick & prompt and food they serve is delicious!! Appreciate the Housekeeping staff always quick to respond for extra supplies!! Great job to the management that runs this beautiful hotel!! Yes the rooms are beautiful and beds are beyond comfortable!’ Our family is looking forward to another visit to this hidden gem!!

This Hotel give us a 5 stat experience The staff was super helpful and kind The room was amazing

Get an inside room the views to the outside are not that pleasant The second floor rooms are to the pool courtyard However they have high ceilings They have robots that pick up linen and garbage in the mornings Choose a room number around 200- 225 or 270-260 so the walk from the elevator isn’t so long Parking was all day in-outs and there is a Starbucks attached to the hotel Sign up for Marriott rewards if you don’t have them

I stayed here for a few nights near the end of July and it was one of the more reasonably priced hotels close to Glendale My stay was enjoyable somewhat and the building is pretty quiet as whole which was nice The tall gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and he helped me during my entire stay

The only 2 complaints I have are the loud beeping sounds that came off from what I believe is the smoke alarm in the room I had a 1 bedroom suite and the room with the bed had a loud beep that goes off every half hour or so That was annoying but it didn’t bother me much but for other people it may be a problem Another issue we had was the mattress for the sofa bed had brown mystery stains, which I had noticed were on the curtains in the same room as well I’m not sure what the stains could be but I would leave it up to the imagination With the stains being there I just ended up folding the sofa bed back into place I didn’t want to make a big fuss out of it nor did I want to have to change rooms, getting the top floor is a rarity for me these days so I just ignored it during my stay Aside from those issues the rooms are pretty clean, much cleaner than other Marriott branded hotels I’ve stayed in The hotel itself is dated but you can tell they are trying to update it with a newer looking bathroom Overall I enjoyed my stay but the issues I had within my room made me lower my star rating for the hotel

Kim Smith

The Courtyard by Marriott is a lovely hotel, who provided a wonderful banquet for our event The room was lovely, buffet food was delicious, and the service superb in the replenishment of the food at the buffet, water and tea at the tables, and clearing of plates after we’d eaten I’m sure that the bar outside the banquet room was well-manned, as well, as it was last year

I just didn’t happen to visit the bar for a drink this year, as I did last year The only reason that I gave it a 4-star, rather than a 5, was because at the end of the night, when I was saying, “Good night” to my friend and her son who were staying there, I said, “Have a peaceful night” Her reply was, “Well, that might be difficult, because this hotel is noisy as hell” They were staying there both Friday and Saturday night, because they live down in Manhattan Beach I didn’t stay there, because I don’t have to drive as far I’m sorry to hear that’s it’s not as peaceful there as it should be

The hotel is clearly under new management/ownership which affected our stay along with the remodeling The staff is very green and unknowledgeable The phones don’t work

The rooms are smaller than other hotels in the area I’d recommend looking elsewhere for the price point Perhaps with time, they’ll tighten up their services, amenities, and staff training but I would not consider staying here again

Anthony Sotelo

This hotel is terrible While it has potential, it should not be open during remodeling The bar was not open, the halls smell like mildew and the overall amenities are not comparable to other hotels with similar price points

When booking it doesn’t mention that only 2 floors were available and that the rooms are very tiny We called and left a message to the manager and received no call back No room service unless you ask I highly recommend you stay elsewhere

Neilou Heidari

I reserved a room block at Hotel Constance for myself and guests for my wedding weekend The hotel rep reassured us that the hotel would reopen before our wedding day, however, a month before our event, told us that they would not reopen in time This left us scrambling to find a new hotel

Not only that, Hotel Constance charged us a deposit but failed to return it back to us – nobody is answering phones or emails I am calling on management/ ownership/whomever to return our deposit ASAP

This place is freaking NICE I stayed here on New Years Eve and there was a DJ in the lobby The music was fun and the atmosphere was fun

They only have valet parking so you’re going to have to tip the valet but you don’t have to pay for parking so that’s nice This is by far the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed at The room was spotless and really nice inside

Chandra Watkins

What a beautiful hotel I got a great price on the room (maybe because they haven’t been open for very long) The racetrack is directly across the street, but I drove there because the walk was too far for me because you have to walk across the parking lot

Hotel is close to everything! We had a great time and will return to try out the restaurant on-site The room was spacious and the mountain views were spectacular I want to try the city view side next time Highly recommend this location!

Wesley

Very nice, new hotel with a wonderful view of the mountains and the race track Service was top notch and the food was exquisite You gotta try the kale pasta

They also comped the $27 valet charge because I spent money on dinner and they gave me a $36 credit on breakfast because I’m lifetime Titanium elite! A must stop in Arcadia during racing season! I’ll be back

We stayed 5 nights? and we have no complaints The hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating The rooms were amazing

The breakfast was delicious (the bar with omelettes and Belgian waffles? yes, absolutely!) Even the parking attendants were nice The hotel is located close to all the places we wanted to visit Griffith Park is very close The sunsets are amazing!

Ms Buchanan

We had the perfect stay Everywhere we walked was a photo op The bridge for the family wedding photo was on point

We were there for a wedding and it was 5 star stay Everyone went out of their way to see that we had anything we wanted The wedding location was beautiful It is historic and every detail is well appointed The reception was grand Great dinner, the desert table was second to none and the band was perfect They knew how to play while we ate then had the perfect song list for dancing NO rolling on the river or we are family cheesy tunes Sign of a great band Afterwards we had a beautiful spot to catch up before going to our room and sending up for a late night bite with room service Our room was classically beautiful a tad small but it is a really old hotel We’ll be back!

Stylish and refined in its lusciouness… well kept, well manicured with charming gardens, excellent service and services Spa was fab!And get this, the power went out in the area in the middle of my massage and they calmly and sweetly brought in candles to finish and comped me the massage And had backup power so we still had basics

Very nice experience that could have been uncomfortable otherwise

Very bad experience, the location was ok but terrible service and disgusting room , sheets duty , no iron on the room , the blow dryer burn in my hands , I left my phone charger in the room and I call the office to they send it to me and the guy very disrespectful, he doesn’t want shipping to me and hang up the phone , so I don’t recommend this hotel if you don’t want a bad experience find another much better option, trust me I will never back to “epic hotel” 👎🏻

Robert Fan

Very typical Embassy Suites experience, albeit the room I had during my stay could have been better maintained One of the towel hooks was loose and the bathtub drain could neither be stopped so as to fill the tub nor easily kept fully open so that water wouldn’t pool while taking a showerAlso the breakfast lacked an omelette bar, which was mildly disappointing

The free drinks during the “happy hour” were limited to two from a very small selection The only beer was bud lightOtherwise, service was great and the hotel is conveniently located near restaurants and shops and easy to access for transportation

Benicio Navaira

The rooms are spacious, big beds There is a small safe, and refrigerator The rooms have a better build, you don’t hear other people in the next room as loudly

As other hotels The staff was very friendly, and helpful they knew when to talk to you And when you don’t expect to be bothered It’s a good location close to stores and places to restaurants It’s also well guarded, people that have no business being here, stay off the property If you’re worried about safety, it’s very safe

Rick Sch

Hotel was nice, and clean AC really struggled to keep room cool, didn’t seem to be pushing much air And not sure why they only have 3 luggage cards in such a large hotel as almost everyone was commenting on why this was an issue for the outing guests

Other than that food Good Pool good, would come back if those 2 areas improve as wasn’t bad otherwise

I have to say the location and amenities are good But service is below expectationThe room does not have hair dryer

We went to and called the front desk to request one, the front desk asked us to check closet every time, though we have already checkedAt the time I’m writing the review, the hair dryer is still not delivered after 45 min, and my hair is already dryHonest advice: consider bringing your OWN hair dryer if you don’t have a lot of time waiting them to deliver to your room

jiggbury

Love the location and especially love the design of the hotel and the new hotel smell that radiates throughout the property! It unfortunately also came with new hotel problems! Namely the pools and workout equipment For some reason the pool didn’t have enough chlorine in it and to the point the employee had to close it manually with no closed sign Workout equipment also didn’t turn on and using the weight machines felt like they were about to pop and break gears any moment

At least the room was a lot better with fast wifi and very comfortable beds and sheets! And even a bidet!Checking was very easy with the person popping into existence as soon as you approach the desk!

ShawntéAshley Lewis

I’ve stayed at this property a few times… Every time, the rooms; (cleanliness and comfort) are a 9/10, restaurant food, front desk Representatives; and even their security over exceeded my expectations! No matter the tone of day, checking in is always a breeze, the young ladies/gentlemen at desk are always a delight…One particular evening though; i checked in rather late after work, and had the pleasure of having Joshua check me in… Joshua went far past above and beyond w/his Marriott way of handling things… Thank you Joshua for making me feel happy to have come back, because of service like Joshua, I remain Marriott Loyal!🙌🏾♾🙏🏾

I was having trouble finding a hotel that would accommodate an early morning meeting I would be having via Zoom I was traveling with my family and didn’t want to wake them up by taking it in my room After looking into multiple hotels in the area, this was the first one that told me I could use a conference room without any issues even though it would be just myself using the room

The staff was super helpful (dealt with multiple staff members) and friendly the entire stayThe beds are comfortable and the rooms are “roomy” 😁 The only semi-issue I had was that the room wasn’t completely clean, but it was clean enough

Brandon Ford

The rooms were small, but super clean and well kept The location is PERFECT and there are very many good restaurants, bars, freeways, coffee shops, places to shop, etc

in the area The staff was super accommodating and said “hello” or “good morning” whenever you went bye They had drinks, snacks, and beer available for you downstairs Had a good breakfast and coffee in the morning Nice lounge area to chill if you needed to be out of your room or a place to eat your own food TV’s were accessible as well I wish they would return to regular room service Scheduling I’m advance can be a pain, but it’s easy to work with them on that

Eydie C.H

This was my second visit booked a room for 5 days as I was a guest here In August 2021 for about 4 days Things changed a bit and mostly had to do with my allergies to dogs I felt like perhaps they should have a separate area are floor for dogs Management showed some understanding but besides the dogs I felt that the hotel could use some sprucing my carpet was stained and the Aggie of the property was beginning to show

The bed was comfy and staff was friendly Location was good because you could walk to Metro!

The bathroom had a giant tub with jets which was awesome The junior suite had 2 nice, comfortable, and clean beds The furniture (table, chair, and couch) were really clean and nice

The issues I had was the musty smell that killed my allergies It was almost like a moldy smell, but I didn’t see the mold We probably would have asked for another room except it was night and we were only sleeping there, so it didn’t matter that much Also, opening the window helped a lot 🙂

Stayed for 12 days They were very helpful and fast with check in especially a late one They listen to your needs and help you with things you need

The pool and jacuzzi are perfect The staff are super friendly There’s also a taco truck outside until 2AM I enjoyed my stay there and will most definitely keep using holidays Inn when I’m in LA

Rob F.

Service is incredibly slow It was very difficult to get anything sent up to the room or have our room serviced The fitness center did not have any type of cleansing products for days

When I asked for them in the morning I was told that the cleaning staff wasn’t in until later in the morning…so, basically, a dirty gym every morning during a pandemic Very poor

Candice Delgado

It is a hotel It has beds, bathrooms, pillows etc They no longer come to your room daily and refill towels/soaps or clean your rooms

They will come in on the 5th night However, you can ask the front desk to replenish your towels/soaps as you leave for the day They will not come into your room while you are thereTheir breakfast is available a la carte Very expensiveThey have about 8-10 couches in the lobby, random hotel tables, it is a very strange set upLots of homeless near the property Every morning when we left there was a homeless person sitting in their courtyard The carpet in the hallways is wrinkled up, be careful when you walk so you don’t tripOverall, it’s a bed AC is cold, shower is hot Nothing more, nothing less Our family will not be staying here in the future Lots of options available
