Best Hotels near Woodbury University

The plusses of staying in Burbank – about 11 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles – include the neighborhood's proximity to many of L.A.'s top things to do, as well as the chance to be in the vicinity of the true entertainment hub of California (this is where both "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and "Conan" are filmed). And when staying in the Hotel Amarano Burbank specifically, the perks include the cozy rooms and suites (132 in total), all of which are outfitted with 42-inch plasma TVs, iPod docking stations, complimentary Wi-Fi access, Keurig coffee makers and Gilchrest & Soames toiletries. Outside your digs you'll find a saltwater pool and a courteous front desk staff ready to welcome you to the hotel with Parisian chocolates. (However, there are some complaints about noise in the evenings.) The Hotel Amarano Burbank also houses Privato, the on-site restaurant known for its unique take on fish, poultry and steak.

Travelers don't often get too excited about airport hotels, but recent guests gushed about the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport hotel. Lodgers attributed their great experience to the hotel's top-notch digs, convenient location, quiet atmosphere and friendly staff members. Accommodations are outfitted with sleek furnishings, as well as coffee makers, 32-inch flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi access (for an extra fee). When you're ready to catch your flight, just hop on the complimentary airport shuttle. If you need to get to nearby attractions, you will need a car, but guests were happy to report it isn't too long of a drive. Twenty minutes on the road will get you to Griffith Park, the Hollywood Bowl and Universal Studios Hollywood. There are some dining options within walking distance of the hotel, though the on-site Daily Grill and Media Lounge cafe seemed to satisfy tired and hungry travelers. And if you need to unwind, this Marriot comes equipped with a fitness center and two outdoor pools surrounded by cabanas and fire pits. Plus, since this property is a member of the Marriott family, Marriott Bonvoy members can cash in or collect points here.
