8.6/10 Excellent! (209 reviews)

This was a perfect affordable option for a weekend concert, the room was very small but the bed was comfortable and the room was super clean and the decor is really cute. The virtual check in is quick and easy. No coffee maker in the room, but Starbucks is just a couple blocks away and the surrounding area is safe and walkable. Convenient local to Burbank airport and rose bowl.

This was such a cute and well cared for hotel! Pool had great vibes and nice music, bikes were fantastic, and service top notch!!! I would have give 5 stars, BUT the location is nestled between 2 busy streets and the traffic buzzing the whole time was not my favorite.
