Top hotels in Glendale

Bayview Tower
Great views from our room. Comfortable bed. Bathroom doors need to be readjusted so that they close properly (304). Parking is an issue for those with a disability as there are often not enough spaces.

Coral Inn Boutique Resort
Bit confusing with the new owner at check-in, but it got sorted. Room was very clean and comfortable. Every thing in the room to make coffee or tea, no milk and nothing to drink it in? Tin panikan wood have done. Really couldn't fault it.
