As other reviews state, this is an older hotel, probably even accurate to call it "dated". However, that's not to say it is bad, quite the opposite actually, at least for my stay. It was very clean, very comfortable, and at least for my room, super quiet; one of the best sleeps on the road I've had in awhile. The price is right, and I'd definitely stay here again.

The second I entered the hotel there was a damp and mildewy smell throughout. The hotel did not have an elevator, so I had to climb two sets of stairs with my luggage to get to the front lobby. The parking was behind the alleyway, so I did not feel safe after parking my car and walking back to the hotel. The 1st room I stayed in smelled like a sewer, so I asked to be moved. The 2nd room was very noisy between the pipes and the loud noise the AC unit made. The fire alarm above the bed kept beeping all night and there was some sort of drilling happening outside the hotel room at 2am in the morning. The furniture and walls were dirty and stained. I chose this property due to great reviews on Expedia, which I now feel were fake since I had the opportunity to see the property with my own eyes. The only reason I didn't leave was because I got in at 10:30pm and was there for the night. I will never stay at this property again. Please think twice before booking a room at the Brand Plaza Hotel. It's a total dump!!

The cotton bed linens were very comfortable. (That was a huge positive). The pipes from other rooms' plumbing were extremely noisy. (A negative). The arrangement of the furniture in our room was inconvenient and deserved much more rational placement. (Baffling).

Good place for an overnight
A quick stay at an affordable price in a part of the U.S. that is expensive for lodging. Parking was reasonable, too. We had an early flight out of Burbank. The room was comfortable, but pretty crowded with large furniture. There was a carpet cleaner in our room which was an interesting place to store it. We didn’t mind the stairs, but they’re a full 2 flights up and pretty steep. There are several dining options. We really enjoyed eating at the Salt and Olive across the street. Service was outstanding and the food was good.

Great hotel for physically fit guests
The room was very clean, well decorated and the king size bed very fluffy and comfortable. The only thing that was not mentioned anywhere is that the hotel reception is about 35 steps up and there is no elevator. My 90 year old husband had to climb all these steps several times. What if he couldn’t? Also the view from the hotel window was the wall of the adjacent building that was so close to the hotel that if you tried to see the sky it would be impossible.

I would not say I was very impressed by this hotel. It had no parking in the building, tho they offered a parking tag that let you use nearby public parking. There's two long sets of stairs from either entrance into the hotel, and no elevator or luggage elevator. This means you get to drag ALL your heavy things up stairs, both in and out. It also means this hotel is not accessible for people with disabilities. I only had to deal with the former, but it did suck. This was a very large mark down for me. The hotel looks very dated, and the staff seemed bored. In general, I would say it's worth it's price. However, let me end by praising a few things... The room was lovely and very comfortable, and had a big closet to use. Despite its aged look, there is a charm to the place I appreciated, and they offer a nice water machine in the lobby. Finally it's very conveniently located in the middle of Glendale next to all kinds of great restaurants, movie places, shopping, the Galleria, and the Americana, all just a short walk away. It makes up it's value in the little inconveniences with the price and a fantastic location that cannot be beat.

Disliked: Amenities
It was a walkable distance from different places I wanted to visit. I stayed for three nights and couldn't sleep at all because it was very nosy. You could heard the people next door talking, snoring and flushing the toilet. The AC announces when it would start by a loud bang every 10 minutes. My room was in need of repair as the walls were dirty in cartain areas and with holes. I guess since it was a 'historic hotel' it may be difficult to 'fix' certain aspects. The areas outside were very clean, felt safe and lots of places to eat.

Overall the hotel was fine. Near lots of restaurants and shopping.The only negative things were the parking and the shower mat. The parking is pretty far from the property and the shower mat was all moldy and should be thrown away and replaced. Also no elevator so be pre prepared to carry bags up and down the stairs.

Not so good
i’ve been Staying at Hotel Brownwood since 2013 it was really good and clean at the time but it’s really gotton musty and rundown. The room I stayed at smelt like sewer. Towels and washrangs dingy and thin. I slid in the shower, no tub matt. No extra roll of TP. No trash can in room. TV issues and lighting horrible. I started noticing the past2 years that it was beginning to look rundown.Was once a charming hotel I use to love staying at but no longer. I come out to LA once a year and usually stay 2-3 days at Brand Hotel but next year a new hotel. Sorry Brandwood. I’ll gladly return once you update and clean up the place.
