    What a great little hotel. Conveniently located to the Warmer Bros and Universal Studios Hollywood! Walking distance to a large variety of great eateries. The room is basic but very comfortable. The front desk staff was amazing!! We came during the high winds and fires (we lost power for 3 days) and got one of the last available rooms. What a life saver it was too have a comfortable bed, warm room, hot shower and place to charge our electrical devices! A Continental breakfast provided by Homeboy Bakery and specialty coffee for breakfast was perfect. The front desk lobby has a nice sofa and big screen TV to watch anytime while enjoying hot beverages. This is a two story walkup with pool. (Not sure if it's heated in the winter, but it was so windy, no one willing would be outside). I can't stress what a great location this place is for tourists and out of towners! And Burbank is a great town, just on the edge of Toluca Lake, North Hollywood and Universal. Worth a stay

    We flew in from NJ to do a road trip throughout California, Arizona and Nevada. Our first stop was the Warner Bros Studio so I picked this hotel because of location and price. It had a motel vibe and it made me nervous, but most of the ratings were positive. I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Light breakfast (pastries) in the lobby. Great location to studios and a lot of restaurants.

    For makeup people??

    My mang and I had some business to do in this area. We know nothing about so ca. I made these middle of the week reservations on the fly, and I love this lil motel. I prefer this to a big place with elevators and hallways and tons of people coming and going. The folks at the front desk are there 24/7. The pool was great! I don't want to divulge too much because it is such a cozy lil secret. Mostly, I want to let the hotel know, thank you for having us, we will be there again

    We stayed here for 3 nights as the last leg of our LA trip last summer (July 2023) after staying at Disney Grand California Hotel for few nights for our Disneyland trip. We booked thru Expedia and it came out to be approximately $293 USD/night which is not bad at all for a hotel that is centrally located for visiting Universal Hollywood (10 minutes Uber ride) , Getty Centre (20 mins Uber Ride), Hall of fame (10 mins) etc. walking distance to nearby eatery. Hotel is well maintained, 2 queen beds, ample of counter space, an outdoor swimming pool. Also, free breakfast daily with delicious pastry made by HomeBoy Industries. Checked in was quick and easy. 1 hour from LAX airport. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend others and likely return for our future LA trip.

    I had a brief stay in Burbank for work and decided to give The Tangerine a try. It's a retro style hotel with in-room art fixtures and a heated pool. I failed to bring a bathing suit. I booked a king room and was given the room in the very back of the hotel, next to the room service closet, with the window that faces the alleyway behind the hotel. I was only here for 1 night so I didn't make a fuss of the location of my room. However, it did get quite loud in the morning while room service was getting supplies. Nevertheless, I slept well at night. I do like that this hotel is located within walking distance of a variety of highly rated restaurants, bars and coffee shops. I'll be coming back on my next work trip to LA.

    A slice of freshness in the city of Burbank bordering Toluca Lake... The Tangerine is ripe with charm, convenience and comfort. I checked in on Friday for my birthday in much need of a staycation and some exploring of one of my favorite LA/San Fernando Valley areas. I'd probably passed The Tangerine more times than I could count over the years and finally decided to try them out for myself and let me tell you... I was glad I did!! Check-In was as early as 1PM/2PM which is like the best thing ever and as late as 11 AM though I believe there is some flexibility to noon. Book direct with the hotel and save an instant 10% off your stay, but even booking with third party sites like Hotel.com you still can get a great price. They have great specials, but especially for a king size bed and four parking spots in the main entrance (which can be a tight squeeze when full) and additional parking in back through their alley which is monitored. When I finally checked in around 430ish PM probably a little closer to 5 I got the best welcome. Avery is/was amazing! Great customer service, smooth check in, great parking suggestions, local recommendation and overall invitingness... That's a word!! Aside from Avery I interacted with two other great people in the main lobby/reception area where you can also enjoy some continental treats (baked goods via Homeboy Bakery) in the AM from 7 to 11, hot coffee and whatevers playing on TV in their chic lounge. My room was on the 2nd floor which was more than ideal in getting a slightly better view of Riverside Drive. The TV, free wifi, plugs, huge table w/ giant cushioned chairs, clock radio + dock, mini fridge, coffee machine in room, safe, closet and dresser space were more than I expected and the vanity area became my mini bar for the night. Blackout curtains, AC and light dimmers for the main portion of the room gave me new life at night and especially in the morning... No brightness detected!! The shower was perfect and the water pressure was powerful... Maybe too powerful at one point lol (the sink mostly - some backsplash), but no complaints here. The bed was extra cozy and made for plenty of space for myself and my friend Mario who stayed over with me coming down from San Bernardino to hang and help me celebrate my birthday. I had a small handful of friends over and we had a great time, so grateful for everyone who came out to hang in Burbank and enjoy my little slice of safe space care for the night. Some of us got food late and had plenty of drinks as one should. Two of my pals had stayed here in the past and even recommended The Tangerine to me as well as their families and friends over the years. I'm glad I listened! The "Rine" I believe has been in business since 2005 where it was renovated into a boutique style inn/hotel. Tangerine has several vending machines (mostly in or near the pool area and one beverage machine directly outside the lobby across from a well placed water fountain) near staircases. Great photo opportunities all over the place! Unfortunately the pool hadn't been heated so I didn't opt in for a dip, but next time for sure since it can be heated! Close to Bob's Big Boy, Jinya Ramen, Red Maple Cafe, Something Vegan, Don Cuco (get 20% off gift card with stay), Forman's Whiskey Tavern and a long list of both local small mom & pop and cool chain eateries not mention near all the major banks, Trader Joe's heading west, Whole Foods going east, and Vons or even Smart & Final Northbound. CVS and tons of supply & personal care stores nearby... All drivable and some even very walkable. A few transits/Metro buses do run alongside Riverside for some green sightseeing fun. You can catch tapings, tours plus more at the Warner Brother Lot... Short trip over to Universal Studios as well. My friend Mario actually caught the LA Metro Bus 155 over from there which stops across the street. Basically a five star place + stay in so many ways... But that ONE ice machine ALL the way over by and actually in the pool area... At night in December when the valley drops to 40s... O.O... Gonna need ice access on the 2nd floor please or at least on the front side near the main staircase/vending machine... please and thank you! Overall I can't recommend enough or say better things about all the staff! Future staycations for myself for sure as well as suggestions for people visiting from out of town.

    Great location. Room was clean staff were super helpful and friendly. Pool was great for hot days plus they play music. Pastries every morning. 2 parking lots small in front more spaces in the back. Plenty on food options near by. Free WiFi Would definitely stay again

    We had a staycation in Burbank recently. Needing a place to stay, I saw I bookmarked The Tangerine a while ago and so we decided to give them a shot. It's nicely located near Warner Bros. and is a short drive to Universal Studios for any tourists into that. There are also plenty of restaurants within walking distance if you don't want to venture too far. The Tangerine stands out with lots of orange everywhere. There's a small parking lot in front - 4 tight spots plus 1 handicapped space. Upon check-in you receive a parking permit to hang from your rearview mirror for when you park in front or in the alley out back. We stayed in room 120 which turned out to be convenient as its right next to the rear parking. Definitely don't plan on going out too late - we considered going out for dinner but all the parking spots were taken already. We didn't want to risk losing our spot so we just walked next door. We had a King room that has a big mural behind the bed. There's a table by the window and AC (which is on the loud side), the TV has basic cable, and there's some wood in the corner (art?). There's also a mini-fridge and a bottle opener for drinks. The bathroom is on the small side but has a surprisingly deep bathtub. The staff was friendly and professional but all the little things started to add up quickly making for a so-so experience. After check-in our room key wouldn't work. The woman at the front desk came out and showed that you have to pull the door towards you when you insert the key or the key won't work. Whenever we stay anywhere, we always bring disinfectant wipes to make sure our room is clean. Unfortunately our room wasn't clean as there was gunk/dirt on the switches and handles. We also found two stains in our sheets when we inspected the bed (always gross). We called the front and they replaced the sheets for us (after they asked if we needed help to change the sheets, like we were expected to do it ourselves which was weird). The bathroom door didn't close all the way (even after supposedly locking it) so it'll stay cracked open unless you prop the trash can against the door. The toilet ran for a long time after flushing it at night. It went away after jiggling the handle - hard to rest when you think the bathroom is going to flood. There was also a noticeable crack in the bathroom ceiling, as if something heavy fell in the room directly above. The bed is squeaky and the walls are kind of thin (bring headphones). At first I was glad we got a room right next to where we parked but I regretted it soon after. Since its right next to the back lot, we could loudly hear every time someone left/entered. Some people decided standing by our window in the middle of the night was a good place to catch up and socialize. And we couldn't help but listen to everyone else struggling to enter their rooms - of course jiggling/pounding on doors in the dead of night also doesn't make for peaceful sleeping (nothing like what sounds like your room being invaded to give you sweet dreams). The Tangerine is disappointing but we've stayed in worse places. Major points lost for lack of cleanliness (especially during a pandemic). Also, interesting choice in having an out of place chest of drawers directly next to the bathroom. It looks like something picked up from IKEA or Target and doesn't fit the room at all. The placement right next to the bathroom is not the smartest as I'm sure people bump into it all the time. Maybe also ditch the pointless wood on display. Finally, The Tangerine is a motel not a hotel so adjust your expectations accordingly.

    Terrific hotel! Staff was amazing. Super friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to eat that you can walk to. Hotel itself was really cute!! About a 15 min drive from universal.

    This is a really cute motel/hotel. It looks like a motel but the rooms are pretty nice. I'd say it's no frills. It's clean. There's an outdoor pool and there's complimentary breakfast pastries from Porto's that are SO good. We could walk to a lot of restaurants; it's in a good location, safe neighborhood. We could also walk to the Warner Bros Ranch which is where we needed to be that day. I really liked it and would stay here again for sure!

    Really great additional mirror in the bathroom.

    My kids and I stayed here for a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood. It was very close and convenient. The room was small but clean. We had no microwave but a small coffeemaker. The rooms were brightly painted with orange doors/counters and there was a pretty mural on the wall. The room had lots of counter space, a large vanity mirror, a cute little 4 drawer chest and ample closet with ironing board. The bathrooms had sustainable shampoo and lotions which is great. I wish more hotels did this. The noise from the freeway can be heard but it sounded like it was raining outside. The sunlight was peeking through the sides of the curtains so it was quite bright in the morning. The parking lot in front is very small as there were only 4 spots plus handicap but there is more parking around back with video surveillance. There is a pool, but during our visit it was under construction. Everyone we spoke with at the front desk was very friendly and the amenities in the lobby are great. The coffee machine is a definite must try. They also had water machine and microwave for guests. In the morning, they also had complimentary pastries. The kids talked about the next time they stay there. So it was a win. Definitely worth a stay.

    See all

The clerk wasn't outright rude, but for the first several minutes seemed pretentious, like I wasn't good enough to stay there. He didn't introduce himself or ask my name; I introduced myself and asked his name after check-in, and he warmed up a bit. It felt like I'd caught him doing something wrong or arrived before he was ready. I had to ask multiple questions because he didn't offer information or engage. My customer service was on point--his, not so much. I'd been driving all day and was exhausted, wearing very casual clothes, but he felt very judgey. I asked to see the rooms after reading reviews. The first was rundown and not worth the $150 he quoted. He kept going into the back office between questions, implying he was busy or nearly full (there was only one car outside). When I asked to see the other side of the hotel, which had allegedly been updated, he bragged about being fully booked, though I only ever saw three cars. Odd. The second room was just okay, but I was too tired to find another hotel, so I stayed one night. Few things frustrate me more than visible neglect and lack of detail. There were drywall screw heads popping out, scuffed walls, holes, and water-damaged bathroom drywall from a poorly placed glass shower door--crumbling onto the floor. The floor itself was dirty. The outer entry door was peeling badly, shedding bits of clear coating onto the floor and my hands. The blinds appeared to not have been cleaned in months--which should be done regularly. The bed frame was filthy--dust, debris, bits of wrappers and food. It was clearly dirty, with oils, handprints, and dried liquids (I'll leave that to your imagination). The closet doors, off-white, had visible hand grime. The disinfectant wipes I used were brown - yuck. The lamp was dusty, an outlet near the bed had a broken metal piece stuck inside, and both the bathroom vent and hair dryer were caked with dust. The dryer filter hadn't been cleaned in ages. The countertop above the mini fridge was detaching, the bathroom shelf was decaying, and the shower glass hadn't been cleaned. The creamy drip marks on the wall--hopefully conditioner or soap--remained, and the grout was mold-stained. A simple bleach spray would've fixed it. The shower water pressure was awful, with calcification that needs vinegar soaking. It also leaked from the stem. Meanwhile, the sink had too much pressure. The cleaning staff were wonderful--always offering help. The issues here clearly stem from management, not staff. I realize this isn't a four-star hotel and that my standards are higher than average. Having worked in property management and emergency response, I've been in many homes across all conditions and know what "clean" should look like. I attached photos (which don't even capture all of it) so others can decide for themselves. Public beds and showers should be cleaned frequently so dust, germs, and bugs don't build up. The initial clerk did warm up by the end, and wasn't outright rude, just awkward and pretentious at first. When I checked out, a different man was working. He was extremely pushy, insisting I stay longer despite me saying I had to get back on the road. Then he handed me a clipboard and said it was mandatory to fill out--a sheet listing my name, room number, and space for comments, stacked under previous guests' notes. I told him I'd review the hotel online instead. He insisted I fill in each section, so under "comments" I wrote "review on Yelp." Other than being pushy, he was friendly--but it was an annoying end to a stay that wasn't worth the cost. Not the worst stay I've had, but definitely not one I'd repeat.

It honestly turned out to be a lifesaver for the nine days we were there. The rooms were spotless and had a surprisingly roomy fridge--perfect for all the snacks we stress-bought. The staff went out of their way to help us, which made a tough time a little easier. I ended up working most days from a cozy booth in the lobby, complete with my own TV so I could keep an eye on the nonstop fire news. One unexpected perk was the hotel's location next to an outdoor mall. We loved being able to walk around and explore, since walkability isn't something we get at home. In the evenings, we made the best of things by checking out different movie theaters in Burbank and Universal Studios City Walk and catching up on Oscar-nominated films. I hope we never have to evacuate again, but if we do, I know exactly where we'll go. This Courtyard felt like a safe haven when we needed it most.

    We stayed at this hotel for only one night, but we enjoyed our stay. Check in was easy and the…read morefront desk clerk was pleasant our room was clean. We ate and drank at the bar and we enjoyed the food and the drinks. The bartender was nice. My only criticism is that the carpet seemed old and I would have preferred if the television had faced the bed.

    Agree with others that staff are great, location is great for Universal, and everything is very…read moreclean. However, the mattress was very uncomfortable, no mirror in the room so everything my family of 4 had to do was in the bathroom which makes getting ready much slower, had no rooms for us to overlook Universal, the shower faucet never really shut off, the "sidewalk" to Universal is crossing a patio they rent out or having to walk in the road so take the shuttle, no microwave and when we asked where one was that we could use, the front desk said their wasn't one (in The whole motel!) but they could heat our item and then charge us 25$ to deliver it to our room! I am not used to staying in rooms for this much with no amenities. Expect to overpay for everything.

    We went to the Sheraton first, but we booked last minute so they only had room for a night. It was…read morelovely. But no problem we booked the Hilton which is right near the Sheraton and near City Walk and Universal Studios. it It is actually closer and they have a great shuttle service. You can also walk it, but I get tired. It is a long walk. We loved this Hilton. It was perfect. The hotel is very pretty and has the best pool and they have spa service which I loved and you can get great food right at the pool. The service is amazing. Our rooms were ready on time and all we needed and asked for in advance was there for us. We had a nice view and both rooms were spotless and so comfortable. I loved the bed. The front desk staff is great and can tell you all you need to know about the area. The food at the eatery is great and they have a lovely bar as well. They do not always have crab legs, but we were lucky. All the food was great, from breakfast to dinner. We will stay again.
