Hotels near Hollywood Burbank Airport - BUR, Burbank

Uber rides were always on time and drivers were fun. Getting around was quick and easy. This location we stayed at (Holiday Inn Express on Burbank), was very close to places if your touring around to see attractions like Universal Studios, and much more. Our trip was quick. Just two days there to meet up for family services. In our spare time we walked to the Art District for meals and to check out the area. We talked to all kind of people and were very surprised that most everyone who worked or lived in the area was really friendly. It seems the city is trying to make improvements to update the area by adding bars and restaurants. The area is very old and full of bums and homeless. The sidewalks are dirty and smells like garbage everywhere. If you can get past the eye sores and smells, it’s ok. Street vendors are nice. The Art District has a few good eateries. Try “Je Je”, it is Mediterranean, delicious with generous portions. Very delicious chicken and clean, fresh salad. My experience was great!

The area is a bit run down but, it does have a few eateries and grocery stores to help make your visit at least somewhat bearable. Navigating through the area is acceptable even with the paint dividing the lanes almost gone.

Nice place. Uber knew where they were going 95% of the time. Only rolled into town for the wrestling show at the Moose Lodge & had a great time. Found 2 comic book stores to add to my comic back issues. Burbank is a nice mix of industrial, suburb & new store touches, in case you need something. However it might be nice to have something of a "localized" tour web site that didn't include the tourist traps/family things, which are nice but not my thing. Perhaps local restaurants & other things to do in the town listed so a single person can move about & feel more "at home", when they visit. When asked what there is to do in town other than drink, the answer I got was "Uhmm drink?". I'm not a drinker so I really did want to do something other than sit in a hotel room or visit homes of the stars after the wrestling was over. I did visit the LA Zoo-not bad. Also made the pilgrameage to Trejo's Tacos. Worth the trip. I wanted to do MORE with the 2 days I had left over, but there didn't seem to be anything to do. No local Burbank paper tip/ideas or magazines for local things, just stuff for LA which when traveling by Uber can eat into a traveling budget. Still have a fondness for the place.

The best thing we lacked was when we ate an order pizza and wings from a nearby pizza place it was the most delicious pizza soft crust and awesome Wings recommended if I could just remember the name that might have been pizza man ain't sure

My reservation was for 12/27/ THRU 12/31 BUT My first night there was so horrible that I felt very unsafe so I checked out the next morning and went to a Holiday inn for the duration of my trip. My room was downstairs facing the parking lot and the door was filthy with a deadlock that was so unstable a child could have broken into. I put a chair in front of the door and went into the bathroom to shower. I heard air coming from the window which was located on the wall in the shower stall so I touched it and it was unlatched with no screen. I shut it and took a quick shower left the light on and turned on the tv. I think the bed sheets had been washed but there were brown stains on them. needless to say I did not sleep. I dont have a smart phone and the phone I do have doesn't take pictures but I also reported this situation to a representative earlier. The girl that worked at the hotel was not only rude when I checked in but just as rude when I checked out telling me it didn't matter that I would't get any credit and I didn't tell her about my horrible night. Was NOT A NICE PERSON!

Someone in the hotel accounting office made a mistake or tried to cheat me by over billing my credit card four times: $96, $96, $39, and $692. It happened in June 2019 when the hotel was changing ownership. Very nice hotel with great amenities; but who needs to be over billed so substantially. Stlll don’t know if Booking.com alerted the hotel owners of their potential problem.
