Nice little inn.
Pros:

Had a great experience. Hotel staff was very nice and the Inn is located very conveniently in the middle of everything we wanted to do. Mostly everything was around a 30min drive or less.

LIVIN THE 90’S
Pros:

This best property in Burbank, the property is old but very well maintained and modern rooms! Will come back - amenities are excellent and equivalent to a 3.5 star hotel. This isn’t a motel and more so an experience and destination living the 90’s and experiencing the past!

Cons:

NOTHING
