Top Santa Monica Hotel Reviews

Hotel Burbank

Hotel Burbank

8/10 Good
"I wish this place had complimentary breakfast area instead of the Burbank cafe that requires me to pay for a meal. I like being able to get like a continental or buffet breakfast type of meal. I like that they have the big refillable shampoo and conditioner bottles rather than little travel ones. I also love the little makeup cloth in the bathroom. I wish they had a wash rag specifically for the shower rather than towels."
