Hotel Burbank

Hotel Burbank

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed for 5 nights at Hotel Burbank and everything went smoothly. Enjoyed the happy hour, breakfast was also good. Room had everything I needed and was reasonably priced. The pool is also decent sized. Great location too. Parking is a bit pricey (like all downtown hotels), but there's free residential street parking a few blocks away. I highly recommend staying here."
