How to get a great hotel deal in Burbank
Or nearby Universal City

Burbank and Universal City make a great base for your Los Angeles trip.

You're minutes away from the heart of Hollywood (but much safer), downtown, and the Walt Disney, Sony Pictures (Columbia Pictures), Universal, and Warner Brothers studios, as well as NBC Television City. Most offer tours.

You can choose from a wide range of hotels, but Alfred Hitchcock's Bates Motel at Universal Studios go longer accepts guests.

Burbank Airport provides a less hectic arrival point than LAX, especially if you wish to rent a car.
