I had a lovely 10 day stay. The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them to help you with. Very clean and nice rooms. On a major road but was not bothered by any noise. Great location. More

A gem of a property in an odd neighborhood in Burbank. Clean, no frills and inexpensive. For travelers on a budget, this is a great place. Rooms are simple - queen bed, an easy chair, dresser and desk. No pool, no pets. Go to a fancier place when your ship comes in! More

I reserved four rooms for a family gathering in the area. The outside is rather old and unappealing, but the rooms have been remodeled very nicely and the beds are very comfortable. Didn't have a problem with noise. The little diner attached is very old fashioned and used for TV and movie locations. In fact, the next day it was... More

I chose this motel based on reviews that gave it kudos for refurbishing that was very well done....and it is! BUT...when it came to bedtime, between the tweakers upstairs doing god knows what and the neighbors tv, i had to turn to ear plugs and sleep aids. That is the one thing i value most in a motel is quiet,... More

I am working at a 5 star hotel chain and not used to staying at motels. Portofino Inn was a nice surprise. They recently renovated their rooms and the clientele is middle-class tourists and business men. Room was good size and up-to-date, nice decor. I stayed with them for 7 nights on leisure as I was visiting my friend in... More

Accommodating folks who worked with us when we had personal issues. Very comfortable pillows and mattresses. Fridge and microwave and understanding attitude about having food in room. Good mirrors. Lovely flatscreen t.v. More

I stayed at the Portofino at the beginning of September 2011 for three nights. I had booked online months prior, and the Web site made it look like a three star hotel, maybe four. But I did happen to see a photo of the motel sign before I arrived, and I anticipated it wasn't nearly that nice. Indeed, upon arrival,... More

I usually stay in nicer hotels, but it looked pretty cute on the website. when I got there, it looked like a 2 star motel... so I was a little leery. but the bedding in my room was great- it felt more like a 3/4 star ... I'm kind of picky about my sheets. lol. it was great for a... More

The rooms were small but very clean. $13 cab fair to Warner Brothers Studio Tours and the Ellen Show. We used public transportation to save money and felt totally safe. Everyone on and off the bus and subway were very nice. The cab ride to Burbank Airport was $20.00 with tip! Great for the money, great for location, just plan... More

I chose this INN through the positive reviews posted on the Trip Advisors' website and sadly - it was all the in the contrary! I have relied in Trip Advisors' website for great places to stay & never did I recall having to stay in a place that they ranked in their Top 10 list that I was so disappointed... More
