Travel tips

If you want rail access across the region, plan on using the Downtown Burbank train station (about 1 mile away) for connections toward Hollywood Burbank Airport and Union Station. Many headline sights (Universal Studios Hollywood, Griffith Observatory, Hollywood Walk of Fame) are several kilometers away, so a car or rideshare can save time. If a pool or in-room microwave is important to your stay, confirm current availability and room features before arrival, as guest reports vary.
