As a Travel RN, it is super important for me to stay in a safe, and clean hotel while I look for my permanent housing while on assignment. This hotel is darling. The rooms are super spacious, and the bed is so comfortable you do not want to get up for work. The rooms, and hotel are extremely clean, and decorated so lovely. The check in is completed virtually, and so easy. The young lady was professional, kind, and extremely helpful. There is an elevator close to the lobby to take you to your room. This hotel is located in a super safe area of Glendale, CA. It is walkable to many restaurants, coffee shops, and one of my favorite bakeries Red Ribbon. I highly recommend this hotel everyone.
