The Renaissance Glendale Hotel and Spa is the best place to stay. It's right next to the arena, there are plenty of places to eat in walking distance and the rooms are really nice and clean.
I find in Jobing.com arena, if you're sitting in the corners, the view is better if you get at least 15 rows from the ice. On the sides, I've sat as close as the glass and as far as 14 rows back and been able to see just fine.
If you want to splurge, the Toyota Club seats are pretty fun. You get in to the arena early, you have access to the club, where you can eat regular stadium food, or restaurant style food. The seats are going to be close to the glass, but because the arena is pretty new, the first row on the glass is built up high enough that even right behind the bench you can still see. If you're only going once, its worth the 150 bucks for the VIP experience, IMO.
