Burbank, which is home to Bob Hope Airport (formerly known as the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport), is close to Universal Studios, downtown Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley and other popular L.A. destinations. Visitors to the city can take a backstage tour at NBC or Warner Bros. studios, shop and dine in charming downtown Burbank and attend an outdoor concert at the Starlight Bowl.

We had a lovely time at The Tangerine! The location was perfect to explore the Hollywood area. Each room has a unique wall painting, and wood art, and is clean as a whistle. Great small pool. Different coffee and hot chocolate drinks are available in a coffee machine in the lobby, and they provided delicious local pastries each morning - a nice touch! We especially want to acknowledge Walter and Kamal. Walter is a great "host" - he was very positive and informative - he helped us out with recommendations for both places to see and restaurants. Kamal took a lot of time helping us deal with our rental car idiosyncrasies - we very much appreciated his expertise and willingness to help! We plan on staying again at the Tangerine when we are in the Los Angles area!

Didn't meet expectations

Reviewed By AmStamper

I booked this hotel through the Universal Studios website as part of a package. We were celebrating our anniversary with our first post-pandemic trip and I booked this trip as a surprise for my significant other. I called the hotel to confirm that the reservation was made and to request that a bottle of champagne be in the room when we arrived. I was told that my request would be forwarded to guest services. A couple days later I received an email asking about the request for champagne and what my price range was. I told them to keep it under $200 and to charge the price to the room. Fast forward to the day of our trip, we arrived a couple hours before check in (1pm) and were told that our room was not ready yet, but they let us leave our luggage and valet the car. The front desk staff and valet were lovely. They made sure to offer us complimentary waters on arrival which was much appreciated with the extremely hot weather outside. We didn't come back to check in until after 6pm and I was surprised with how unclean the room was. There was hair all over the shower wall and bed. The toilet was dirty and there was some kind of residue in the sink. I was extremely disappointed with the lack of cleanliness, especially since we were told we couldn't check in early because the room wasn't ready and even with an additional 3 hours after check in it still wasn't "ready". To top it off, there was no champagne as requested. It had been a long day and we still had dinner reservations to make so we didn't waste time complaining to the staff, we just shrugged it off. The rest of the stay was pretty uneventful. We did get drinks from the bar and the bartender was fantastic. Super nice and great drink recommendations. On the day we left I received an email from their customer service team (the same one that emailed about my price range for the champagne) asking me to call them. I responded to them via email letting them know it wouldn't be necessary, we had already checked out. Too little, too late. Overall I would recommend this as a decent place to stay, but I wasn't wowed. It's the little things that make a hotel amazing and unfortunately we just didn't get those here.

love this place, return visit

Reviewed By RedFiona

Great hotel, handy for the places we wanted to visit, great if you also want to do tourist attractions. Staff are really helpful, the room is nice and clean, we staying in a disabled room and it was well laid out for my husband. Olives Bistro close by is good for breakfast and dinner if you don't have other plans, we usually did but were too tired to go out one evening and ate dinner there, great staff and great food. I would definitely stay here again. It's not a luxury resort hotel but for our needs it definitely hits the spot, plus we love the neon sign it makes us smile!

Hotel Burbank refuses to refund charge for nights not stayed

Reviewed By suesV8520BA

I was scheduled to stay for 10 nights in late April. A client of mine requested that I return home to handle a tax situation they were having. They requested that I determine what it would cost for me to change my flight and cancel my hotel reservation. Discussed multiple times with the front desk staff and each time they said that there would be no charge for the two days that were not used. I told my client that the only charge would be for the airline change fees and they agreed to cover this. After I returned home, i noticed an additional charge for the two days I left early? When I called them to discuss, the first two associates told me that they would research and call me back. When I didn't receive any response, I called the third time and spoke with an associate that discussed the issue with the manager. He indicated that they could not help me as this was booked with a third party booking company even though the amount due was paid directly to the Hotel upon checkout. I travel to Burbank regularly and will never stay at this place again.

Another fail by Marriott

Reviewed By kena628

As a titanium member, I typically like to use my benefits. I understand that there are times that this may not be possible. Today at the Marriott Burbank, I asked for late checkout. The manager informed me that could not and they didn’t have to as they are a convention hotel and were very busy. I called Bonvoy to inquire as well. I then looked at their website. It said nothing about them being a convention hotel. I called Marriott Bonvoy back and she confirmed that it is not referenced as one. She called the hotel and they told her no as well. I looked at availability on their site and there were plenty of rooms available. This is a clear example of bait and switch. Shame on you Marriott Burbank AND Bonvoy for the lack of service to some of your top tier guests. Lately, the benefits associated with the elite status just keep getting ignored. Breakfast- a sham. It used to be so good!! I am thinking it’s time to dump Marriott for a hotel chain that actually values their guests.

Very comfortable

Reviewed By caseyjroach

Stayed here on our trip to Universal. Great location to a lot of things! We could walk to Warner brother's studio, 10 min drive to universal, and 10 min drive to the airport. The beds were amazingly comfortable, the breakfast had good selection (and good coffee!), but the pool was hard to find (2nd floor) and was a bit dirty.

Great stay for our son's wedding weekend

Reviewed By pjdscvcc

We recently stayed here with a large room block of relatives and friends for our son's wedding that was being held nearby. German, the manager, was beyond helpful and professional. He helped make the weekend go smoothly by checking in on us throughout our stay. The entire staff was so friendly, welcoming and professional. They are a great group of hard-working individuals. The hotel itself is situated close to the highway on one side, but we did not notice much noise and the rooms all have room darkening shades, which were nice. The street side of the hotel is very pretty and you can walk to some cafes close by. The hotel has an airport shuttle, which was a lifesaver. The staff also helped set up some Lyft rides. The rooms were a good size and very clean. They all have a mini-refrigerator and microwave. The beds were very comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was very nice. It had a good selection and a large seating area that our large group enjoyed for visiting which each other. Overall, the hotel has a very welcoming feel to it. Coffee and tea are available all day in the lobby. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
