“Clean, quiet and close to everything”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed here for 4 nghts in October 2011. I booked online before we went. I got a very good rate with BCAA. The room was very nice. The bed was awesome. King size pillowtop, huge 42" TV, air conditioning, coffee maker, fridge etc. were some amenities.
We had a rental car and found it easy to get to Jay Leno, Universal, Hollywood Blvd and Warner Studios are right near by, Didn't have tickets for Ellen though.
The free breakfast ws very good, fresh fruit, cereal, waffles, fresh coffee, orange juice, etc. Just about anything you could want, even mini cinamon rolls.
The Hotel has a small pool, but unfortunately, it isn't heated. All in all a very good stay. Restaurants close by and very quiet at night.

Room Tip: Any 2 nd floor middle room facing alley.

“Very Convenient and Great Hospitality”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

This hotel was recommended by a friend when we flew into Burbank for a funeral. It was a great location - close to Burbank airport, car rental, Trader Joes, our friend's house, St. Charles' Church and so many other places. We could walk across the street to eat or down the street. The breakfast was standard but still good. The coffee in the room was better than the coffee in the breakfast room. The desk staff were very nice and one even asked me about the coffee when he saw me bringing my coffee into the breakfast room. Parking was free. We had an issue with a friend from 3-4:30 am and we all sat in the lobby dealing with it and the staff was very nice and helpful. We felt safe as we paced outside to get air during this am time. The staff always had the best directions for anywhere we needed to go. We would definitely stay here again. We booked through an on-line site (not direct) and got a great price for a king bed with sitting room. We did not use the fridge as we were at our friend's most of the time but it would have come in handy on other trips.

“Basic, but clean and convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011

Our family of 4 stayed here one night only because we had an early tour at WB Studios, which was a quick 5-10 minute walk away. The hotel is tidy and priced right, and the parking was complimentary. We walked to a Chipotle and a Subway nearby, and drove a mile to a nearby grocery. It seems to be located in a 'business' type area so it is probably quiet on the weekends. You are a short drive to the Hollywood sights, and literally just on the backside of the Hollywood hill sign. The only complaint was being on the ground floor facing an alley. I don't think any room in this low-rise hotel has a view, but fortunately we really weren't in the rom except to shower.

“Recommend, but with some warnings.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2011 via mobile

Good location in a quiet area. Nice to come back to after all the noisy crowds in Hollywood. BUT there were a few issues of which to be aware.

First, the hard water. If you live somewhere with hard water and hate it (like I do), and have a water softener, it's annoying to pay $300 a night and the hotel doesn't bother to invest the money to deal with it.

Next, the shower. We had a handicap accessible two bedroom "suite" (only one bath and no sink/mirror outside of the bathroom?), so hopefully the other rooms don't have this issue, but you'd have to be about 5'6" to use
the shower in a normal fashion. I'm 6' tall and the shower head was at
my chin level. My son is 6'2" and
could hit his head on the ceiling of
the shower by standing on his toes.
Be forewarned.

So, I was happy to find a room that could fit my family of five (two
queens and a sofabed), instead of having to get two rooms, but, as usual, it wasn't perfect.

Oh, and the towel rod is 10 feet away from the bathroom sink. Would it kill them to buy one at home depot and put it up next to the sink?

“Excellent stay, definitely would come back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed here for 3 days July 27-29th and had an absolutely wonderful stay.
The Staff and customer service are next to none! They bent over backwards to ensure our stay was as accommodating as possible, and even took the time to give us hand written directions to all the places we were trying to drive to. It is within walking distance to several restaurants and Warner Bros. Studios, and an easy drive to anything else you want to see.
Rooms were spotless, spacious, quiet and bed was very comfortable.
Breakfast had a variety of things to choose from, certainly something for everyone.
I was so impressed with the staff and our stay and will definitely recommend it.
