Top Descanso Gardens Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites Los Angeles - Glendale

10/10 Excellent

"Love the manager’s reception and hot buffet breakfast. Staff could’ve been more friendly. Room service trays in the hallway for hours."

The LEEF Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay. Immaculately clean and modern and a nice sized, beautifully decorated room. Bathroom was lovely. Tucked away from the street with an Incredibly comfortable bed. Offers great value for money and is very easy to access from the freeway. Only feedback I can give to the property is about the courtyard fountains. I was in room 109 and they can be heard in the rooms. It’s like someone has left the bathroom tap running all night. Perhaps you could consider turning them off after a certain time in the evening. The guests next door also said that it drove them nuts too. I’d still happily stay here again in the future and 100% recommend to other travellers."
