Got broken toilet for 195$ a night. Changed the room that had smell of cigarette smoke.
It is a motel and not a hotel! Next to the interstate and very loud. Pool is very small and dirty. The rooms are not modern and are dark.
Pleasant, experience. a good location, near freeway. Room was clean, bed was comfortable.
Was in Burbank on business, well groomed place to stay. Denny's on property, other food establishments close by.
Reception was long and slow, 2 persons there on the phone for more than 20’ Room was ok in a 2nd floor in a convenient location with quick access to the freeways. The room service was really bad. I left my room at 10am and return at 3:30pm and the room was not done then I left 45’ but nothing. Nobody did the room that day!!!!
It's a okay hotel close to highway and downtown Burbank. Driving to Hollywood in 20 min without traffic. It's bare bone hotel with Denny's next door. Close to Target or other shopping centers. Bathroom is about small and simple.
No complaints. Great location and facilities at a good price.
This hotel wasn't the BEST and we probably wouldn't stay there again. It was definitely clean and a decent bed to sleep on for 2 nights. But the blankets were a bit thin. The hotel was under construction so we were woken up early by the crew hammering and other stuff outside. The hotel is definitely old and has the old smell to it. The bathrooms didn't have fans which we found weird. The AC unit was great. Plenty of parking. It was neat having the Denny's so close. The pool was semi-heated. The spa on the other hand was about the same temp as the pool. definitely NOT hot or very well heated for a "hot tub." We thought it was fantastic that the hotel had a laundry service, however $2/wash, $2/dry and $2 for detergent was expensive. So we went to Target and bought our own soap to save $$. The hotel does NOT have any knowledge about a shuttle to Universal Studios so that was disappointing and we were visiting from out of state and thought the hotel staff would know of one since they are recommended as one of the Universal Studios hotels and had tons of advertisements for the park in their hotel. Ended up having to drive. The location of the hotel is in a shady looking part of town. But thankfully nothing happened to our vehicle & I felt safe enough to swim in the pool with my kids while my husband watched the baby in the room. If we had to stay here again we would but we would stay in a holiday inn first as they were only a couple dollars more.
Arrival and check-in were easy and quick but when we booked our room, we were expecting daily breakfast for our entire trip not just one of the days (part of the reason we booked here). The best western we stayed at a couple of weeks before offered this and it was actually pretty good. When we got into the room we encountered our next issue - the bathroom tub was plugged to the point they had to switch us rooms. When we got into the next room we got a bag of goodies (waters, chips, candies, etc...) that were addressed to someone else (assuming whoever was supposed to have that room in the first place). The room itself wasn't bad - pretty much what I was expecting form this price point (clean, semi uncomfortable bed, can hear through the walls, and smell what I assumed was pot being smoked in one of the rooms connected to the same air duct we were on). When we got up on the first morning to leave our truck was pretty much locked into the parking spot as they allowed people to park in the driveway behind peoples cars, in emergency rows, etc...took nearly 20 minutes of inching forward and backwards just to get out. The rest of the time at the hotel was okay other than they said they'd release the deposit on my card within 5-7 days and its been weeks now still pending... If you need something cheap, close to the freeway and don't mind the issues that I experience above - it is probably an okay place to stay. I personally will not be coming back.
Great hotel for medium budget, will stay again Friendly staff, good locations
Location to freeway and area needed was good. Needed to use lift for disabled guest, maintenance worker very helpful in getting battery installed.
It was a great stay, the staff was friendly and the rooms were so clean!! We definitely had an amazing stay. it's at a great distance for those who are going to universal studios or anywhere really. Plus the pool was great after a long day out in the LA sun.
Nice place,very clean easy to get in freeway good price and best thing close to everything.
Excellent location for Universal Studios ~15min. Nice to receive Dennys breakfast vouchers for being Expedia customers.
Overall the room was comfy with some complaints and room for improvement. I called ahead to confirm that the pool was heated. I book the room on my to find that the pool as broken and Ice cold. The rugs in the room were filthy. The AC was not working properly. No microwave in the room. The frig made lots of noise all night.
Noisy road noise. Reasonable price. Near Ventura Blvd. Close to good dining and freeways.
Nice hotel,great staff, needs to number parking so you are close to your room.Hotel was not close to what we were visiting.
The room was very clean and quiet. The staff was very helpful!
Amazing hotel for tourists. Location is perfect and rooms are very confortable.
would recommend this hotel, but ask for a room away from the freeway!
