Hyatt Regency Los Angeles International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were extremely helpful and engaging. I was able to check in to my room early and was very grateful for that!"

Hotel Burbank

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel overall and location was great! The staff was friendly and efficient. Property was clean. The outdoor property doesn't look as pictured but it didn't matter to us since we were not using the gazebo/yard area. My suggestions are that they need more lighting. The room was a little dark although it had many lamps. Also, the mini fridge's depth was half of a typical mini. We couldn't even fit a small plate or leftovers. The fridge was only for small drinks. Also, it smelled horrible. But we chose to not complain. One final... We're traveling for 3 weeks and wanted to do quick laundry. Laundry room needs updating to contactless payments. It's very hard to find quarters especially if you're not a cash carrier. One wash or dry cycle would require 12-15 quarters per cycle. We opted to go to a local affordable laundromat. However, these issues are minor and we would definitely stay there again."
