Leuk
Pros:

Leuke uitstraling

Cons:

Meerdere vieze kamers gehad voordat ik uiteindelijk een schone kreeg. Indringende Katten of honden plas geur in je kamer is echt heftig

A Great Fit for Families
Pros:

The suite was a great fit for our family because the full kitchen gave us extra flexibility. We liked having a separate sitting area as well. The hotel has plenty of retro charm and is a convenient base for exploring Burbank.

Overall good, but would check for bed bugs.
Pros:

I liked the location and the rooms were nice and comfortable.

Cons:

I was bitten by bed bugs so I was not the most pleased with the cleanliness of the room despite everything looking clean and not spotting any when inspecting for myself.

Good location and a good pool.

Cons:

25 dollars per night to park/used to be free, sheets and pillows had some stains, room dated, new ownership and only has become more expensive since my last stay 3 years ago with no upgrades.
