Top Santa Monica Hotel Reviews

Hotel Burbank

Hotel Burbank

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very attentive, it was at a very convenient place to be able to do multiple things in north LA for the weekend. Unfortunately it was inconvenient that 2 of the elevators were down (1 near the lobby and the main one in the parking) It's not the most fancy hotel, but it was worth the price we paid. The Cafe had a solid selection of breakfast, price was also nothing crazy, plus it being right there made it worth it. Another positive is the location is also near the Burbank Town Center, which is a pretty sizable mall, that you could even walk to if your up for it. I can say I would plan to stay here again if I were to be planning my trip for north LA/Burbank/Hollywood"

"Recommend booking a room with the ocean/ Santa Monica Pier in sight. The rooms are not stellar but they’re a place to sleep. Beds and decor could be updated but the shower actually had hot water on demand. Staff and services were great. Location and walking distances with ride services; car, electric scooters/ bikes was peak. I’d come back in a heartbeat."
