Travelodge Burbank-Glendle

Front Desk service was pleasant, but the thin joining-​room door in your unit will allow you to hear EVERY inappropriate sound from neighbors at all hours of the day/​night. Reported the noises but unable to stop the 12am and 3am «noise events,» highly unfavorable when trying to sleep and when traveling with kids.

Using Hotwire my room was booked for Travelodge. After reading these reviews and was very nervous about my stay, but Hotwire has a no refund policy. Let me say I was pleasantly surprised. Other hotels in the Universal Studios Hollywood area were $ 300+ per night. For $ 100 per night I’ll never stay anywhere else. The rooms were definitely older, but clean with amenities. The bed was comfortable. No bed bugs or bugs of any kind. There is a fridge and microwave. The shower takes a minute to warm up (it’s an older building) but I was able to take a long hot shower every morning. You’re 4 miles from Universal Studios & City Walk. Über was $ 8.00 each way. I saved so much money by staying at Travelodge. These people writing these one star reviews must be incredibly bourgeois, they need to go book a room at The Westin, or the Hyatt for $ 400/​night so their expectations can be met. Anyone else looking for a deal on a room in the Universal Studios area, don’t think twice. I made sure to take pictures as well.

I stayed here on August 19^th, 2015 just for only 1 night… during summer travels before checking out early in the morning to go to the Warner Brothers Studios near by.
It’s an ok place, but needs lots and lots of updating.
Ice machine worked well. We stayed in room 107 which has 2 queen size beds.
The room is super tiny and small. You basically open the door and there’s your bed like 1 foot away. Talk about «super small and compact». I felt almost claustrophobic.
Bed was ok, not super comfy, bed sheets were ok, but nothing amazing. obviously, you get what you pay for but it’s nothing a bit of Febreeze spray can’t solve to help make the bed and pillows feel a bit fresher.
Good: NO Bed Bugs and NO Roaches of any kind or other types of bugs in my room or anywhere near my bed so I was happy.
Bad: My bed was right next to the air conditioner/​heater machine. talk about fire hazard.
The Bathroom was super small as well… you basically walk into the bathroom, sink is on your right, next to that by the wall is the potty, shower on your left and the wall-​rod with the towels is in front of you.
Shower door was broken and wasn’t magnetically working so it wouldn’t even close when you stand in the tiny shower to do your business. which means the shower water basically escapes the shower and ends up on the bathroom floor causing the bathroom to be muggy and sticky.
It’s basically the size of a commercial airline bathroom with hardly any room to move around in.
Breakfast was very minimal consisting of mini donut rounds, orange juice, Folgers Coffee (Yuck) — sorry I’m a coffee snob *grin* and like «real» coffee :)
Carpet in room is super dirty, as most hotel carpets are, but I wore flip flops the whole time i was there to save my feet from being super dirty on the hotel room floor.
Parking: Main parking lot at the hotel is a ridiculously small parking lot maybe fitting perhaps only 8 – 10 cars, but luckily they have overflow parking next door around the side of the building — left side of the building if you’re standing there facing the hotel from the street.
Would i stay here again? Maybe. not sure yet. Hotel front desk was just ok.
The hotel and room served their purpose for a 1 night stay.

Staying here was completely worth it. The area is packed with restaurants of every kind including a wonderful mom and pop Mexican restaurant. Not a bad
neighborhood. I walked down to the Rite Aid late at night with no problems at all.
Very quiet motel and the beds are fairly comfortable. The price was very reasonable the staff was courteous and friendly. The room was clean and well maintained if not a bit on the cozy side. Were it just two staying in the room, it would not have been a problem, but with two kids, it was a bit cramped. I would give five stars if not for two things. One is a minor concern, while the other is a little worrisome. The minor concern is the parking. If you don’t get back early enough, it can get crowded. The worrisome concern is that our room was clearly intended to be a king or queen bed in the room. Not two doubles. The AC unit unit was essentially relegated to being in the corner giving about two to three inches between bed and wall for airflow. It made for a couple of warm nights. That said, for the price and comfort level regardless, I would definitely stay here again.

This was hands down the WORST hotel I have ever stayed in. I’m paying $ 150 for the night to sleep on the least comfortable bed in existence, WHICH I FOUND A DEAD BUG IN. The room was filthy, the staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. There were no electrical outlets besides what the fridge and appliances were plugged into. The room was tiny and the tv was from the 90’s with no channels. I think sleeping in a car would have been a better experience. DO NOT STAY HERE.

My partner and I chose to stay here because it was only about $ 80 a night compared to the $ 230 anywhere else for a place to sleep.
We were worried about bed bugs because it is a motel within a sketchy neighborhood, aged furniture, and sketchy parking lot.
It was actually perfect for us. The room was clean and even had a mini fridge, microwave, TV, coffee pot with tea and coffee. There was no bedbugs and although one of the towels had a lipstick stain on it, it was over all clean and neat.
Looking at the other reviews, we were pretty lucky I guess or maybe they just cleaned up the place. Again this is a motel with aged furniture and is tiny but it really suited our need for a place to sleep at night and even exceeded our expectations of a «motel».

GROSS. Gross gross gross gross. The room smelled dank, old, and musty… I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it smelled like, but it was not good. Maybe old tobacco smell mixed with old linens and Pine-​sol. It probably smells like old cigarettes because this place had to have been around during the era when people still thought it was ok to smoke inside. The furniture sure looks like it. This has got to be the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. I am not overly critical of motels… as long as it’s clean I’m happy. I don’t expect bells and whistles of luxury when I’m staying at a Travelodge. Simple and basic are fine as long as things are clean. Nothing smelled clean here.
For the price of about $ 130 a night, I got not a typical clean Travelodge room, but an old seedy and seemingly dirty old hooker motel. There were stray black hairs in the bathroom on the sink and floor. The provided makeup remover wipes were expired from over two years ago. The TV was an old tube TV. No basic cable guide channel… I had to use the up/​down button to change channels. For the price I think they should at least have a flat screen and basic normal cable. I’ve stayed at other chain motel establishments that charged exactly the same and it smelled clean, with a flat screen tv. That’s my gripe– that they charge so much for something that was worth more like $ 59 a night. If that was the price, I wouldn’t be writing this review.
You guys here need to talk to management at other Travelodges and learn something. Please. It’s not relaxing or restful. I’m so glad I only had to bear with this room for one night.

Not much to expect out of a motel. The rooms and bathroom looked dingy, parking was ridiculously cramped, beds were also a bit stiff, and the Wi-​Fi connection was alright. Service was okay and the few advantages are that it’s near a bunch of local businesses. Good for staying one night or two. Otherwise, go look somewhere else.

You, me and the bed bugs make 3… thousand!
First and foremost, BEDBUGS! Which is the biggest possible let down when settling into your home away from home. Secondly and not to terribly surprising considering the aforementioned bedbugs, but this place is literally the filithiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The shower was black and reeked of mildew and mold, there were black hairs on everything including but not limited to ALL of our towels.
The towels and sheets had various stains that resembled bodily fluids and did not smell fresh at all. The stains continued to the floors and walls throughout. Lastly there was an exposed outlet up against the mattress which was in use… fire hazard anyone.
This was an extremely disappointing experience as this was an anniversary trip turned nightmare every time we came back at night. There’s several reviews on here that say «its ok if your just sleeping» I strongly disagree, this place is good if your going there to kill yourself or die. Call me dramatic but I like to feel clean when I’m staying in a strange place.

This was actually a good hotel. Its affordable and great for the price. We got a room with a queen bed but it really felt like a twin bed because it was so small. The shower was TINY but it has a fridge, tv and AC and thats all i really need after coming from a long day out. The service was good and the rooms were clean (:

Happy enough to get 4 stars from me. The room was decent, the shower was hot and the HBO was included, although we never turned on the t.v. There was also a small fridge and microwave. The pool also looked enticing but we never had time. $ 16 Cab ride to Universal beats parking and allows for some liquid libations.
The downside was the late night stuff close by. Only one restaurant close by open past 10 pm. Although the brunch we had at Porto’s the next morning made up for that.

Most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on. I am still sore from it a day later. Everything else was average, except the shower which was amazing. The shower stayed hot for an hour, which my body needed after that brick of a bed!

DISGUSTING!
Absolutely and unequivocally the most worst experience I’ve had with any hotel that I’ve been to.
PROBLEMS:
1. walk into the room: first thing that hits you is the volume of mildew and mold right at your face, a pungent repulsive odor
2. the bed: bottom side of top layer: YELLOW STAINS the size of Frisbees, on all the layers of bed sheets– HAIR @ least 0.5 inches long
3.the bathroom: where the mildew and mold smell originated: sinks and toilet paper holder are rusty and green and falling down, wake up 5 o’ clock in the morning NO HOT WATER
4. the refrigerator and appliances: outdated; the microwave still had knob timers, the table for general use for sitting down, was «retro-​fixed» with 2×4 slabs of wood just to keep it from falling apart, on top of that it was less than a foot away from the bed SO how am i even supposed to go to the bed? by the refrigerator and in between the TV there’s a black liquid stain that seems to have come from the refrigerator
5. check in and check out: front desk was very kind in morning, but it seemed that the person knew something i didn’t, which explained why check out was so simply «just leave your keys in the room and that’s your checkout, you don’t have to come through the front desk» of course they do that, they don’t want to even deal with us if we were to complain. on the day i left i got some DILUTED orange juice (absolutely cheap) and the front desk person (same person who checked me in) didn’t even say «good morning» much less «how was your stay» the person tried to avoid any customer contact whatsoever.
Overall:
A DISGUSTING experience for the customer (every time you walked in you were itchy)
Friendly service was a cover up for what was about to be experienced.
@ any hotel the #1 thing is cleanliness, this hotel failed severely
i only stayed their 5 hours every night which was to sleep, i bought Clorox and bedsheets just to have even a slight bit of comfort
I never return, nor recommend anyone to book a stay @ «Travelodge Burbank»

The place is small and old but you get what you pay for. Guy at check in was nice. Room was small but ok for what we needed it for. Bed was a double so we got to snuggle. Water temp in shower was good had no problem getting hot water. Breakfast is just packaged pastries so if your like me, I don’t eat them. We stopped on our way home to eat. All we needed was a place to sleep and shower after a day a universal, so the room was fine for us. I’ve seen worse.

I couldn’t get ANY HOT WATER! Don’t stay here. Don’t put you’re dog here! Tell you’re worst enemies to stay here. What a dump!!! And when I went to the front desk to complain about no hot water they said I wasn’t the first to tell them that and they just called me a liar… along with the others, presumably, who had also complained about no hot water. «Just leave it on for 2 minutes» they said. I explained that I had left it on for 5 minutes. Again, I was called a liar. Needless to say, I found another hotel very close by in which to spend my second night in beautiful downtown Burbank. Yes, It cost a little more, but I had a lovely clean room WITH hot water. Spend the few extra dollars. This place should rent by the hour.

This has got to be the worse hotel I’ve ever CONSIDERED staying at. The manager actually did us a favor by being rude and telling us she only had two rooms for us even though we booked three thru Expedia THREE months ago. She didn’t even try to help us and yelled at my cousin to call Expedia and deal with it. The hotel is definitely grudgy and plain ol’ ghetto. I wouldn’t even pay $ 40 a night for this cheapie.
Expedia actually called the manager to confirm and she was rude to them as well. I don’t understand why they still advertise that hotel on their website. I would’ve removed them instantly.
Anyhow, Expedia found us a better hotel down the street that was 2x the cost of that cheapie hotel. So yes, that rude lady did us a favor because we actually got to stay in a nice, clean hotel with great customer service. I only gave one star because I can’t give ZERO!
DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL!!!

Another review of this dump says it best: «Don’t stay here; stay in your car.»
This is one of the vilest motels I’ve ever regretted patronizing. Don’t do it. Just don’t.

As someone who grew up in a time of $ 30 motels & $ 7 movies, it was a bit expensive to now pay $ 88 for 1 night of boot camp.
Low flow shower head makes showering take a long time, for people with lots of hair. Low flow faucet makes it pretty useless for anything. You’ll be using the shower to wash your hands & drinking bottled water. Towel had a yellow stain.
Not worth it, unless you’re in love with a military officer.

Stayed here Labor Day weekend Fri — Mon in room 106. Cost us $ 246 total. Fine. When we left, I forgot to grab my shoes and was already on the road. I am 5000% sure they were under the table next to the TV because I saw them the night before we left sitting there. I called them and they said there was nothing in the room that wasn’t supposed to be there. Bullshit. Housekeeping must have taken them. Luckily, my shoes were old & worn so I didn’t care that much. If the owners would keep their employees happier, they would have been more trustworthy.
Also, there was an electrical outlet in the shower. Very dangerous so be careful. Plus, the toilet’s water pressure was horrible. You have to hold down the handle all the way until the water is gone to get it to flush properly.
The good thing was that they made our beds every night and the AC was working.

This place is a veritable hell hole. I booked it on PriceLine… bad decision I guess because when I called to confirm my confirmation (yes, that is funny, but it’s LA) the woman told me that the room that I paid for was gone. I said, uh, well how can that be… she said that what you pay for on PriceLine is not guaranteed… that’s cool… I miss the old days, like a week ago, in a normal town, where I paid for a room and hey, guess what… the room was reserved for me… so, I ended up paying more than I had booked the room for on PriceLine…$ 111.00 dollars to stay in a room with a king sized bed, up 3 flights of stairs.
This neighborhood is a total ghetto shit hole. I have seen places on Hill Street Blues that look safer than this… it’s 8,000 degrees outside and the air conditioner doesn’t work… I drove 5 hours south only to creep into a shower the size of a coffin, with no hot water whatsoever… it only became luke warm within 20 minutes… there’s sketchy people here… although I heard a baby a little while ago, so I have to admit I do feel safer…
Oh, and there is a parking lot, that is the size of a dime, and the front desk clerk told me that it gets filled up fast, so I could take my chances parking across the street, or in the parking lot next door, for $ 14.00…yeah, like I am going to take my chances across the street here in crack town… uh, no.
I am already worried about my car in this parking lot, lady.
Don’t stay here; stay in your car.
