The manager really cared about guests and making sure they had what they needed. The continental breakfast was nice and had multiple options that were refilled quickly. The rooms were spacious and clean. Good location to Universal, only about a 12 minute drive.

I stayed at the Portofino Inn again. I spoke with the owner about his pots last time. They’re amazing. This evening I witnessed half a dozen hummingbirds—teensie-tinesy, only native here, swarming over his agaves in bloom. He gave me tips about growing Aeonium, with which I’ve failed twice. He’s really gone all out. And you think we have too many pots! It’s a magical little place, this. Very much deserving of praise, a true diamond in a sea of rough. You can easily see the thoughtfulness of the owner when you sit back and take in the attention to detail. I know everyone recalls modest places like this that just make you feel good—not fancy, just lovely. A perfect lavender sunset over the mountains as the backdrop, framed by a few towering palms that seem to defy gravity. The owner and his modest inn are referenced under “charm” in the dictionary. It makes me want have a cup of tea, put on a cardigan, and just be silent and still. I love it.

We have stayed here many times over the years, and you can tell that they are updating and improving a bit each year. Great friendly staff near quite a few small restaurants and near enough to various studios too. Our room was very clean but did have a few cosmetic things such as a broken small shelf in shower, some worn thru spots on furniture but again just cosmetic. We liked that there was a small fridge and microwave and a small set of outside tables near breakfast area. parking was right outside our room. Breakfast had a variety of juices, milk, coffees. Some bagels, pastries and breakfast wrapped snacks and pastries for on the go. If you are lucky enough you might see a film crew filming at franks restaurant diner which is on the property. We happened to be there and watched the setup, the actors coming and going and it was a fun behind the scenes look. Nice motel/hotel, no big fancy frills but clean and friendly place.

A hidden gem. Not fancy, not new, not glitzy, but perfect for a few nights, Alfredo and Anna as well as the entire front desk staff are exceptional and accomadating. Their customer service was top notch. I was in a handicapped room and would of appreciated a mat in the shower as it was a bit slick and I must be cautious of falls. I also felt the bed pillows could be upgraded :-) but all in all, two thumbs up!!!

The Portofino Inn was decent enough for a short stay sort of near Universal Studios, but the motel itself and the immediate area were rather run down. The place is a true motor inn and it looks like people may be living there, perhaps due to the LA Fires, which would be understandable. The room was ok, clean enough, the bed was comfortable but bring your own pillow unless you like super flat ones. It was surprisingly quiet, which was great. We also had an ok view of the mountains from the second floor. Breakfast was simple with bagels, basic fruit options, and pastries with coffee and juice. Service was fine. Overall, it was ok, but I'll look at other options next time.

Great hotel for a Hollywood Bowl weekend!

This is a cute little two-story property with plenty of parking, next to a classic looking diner that’s used often in TV and movies as a restaurant set. Our room was spacious, the fridge and microwave worked great. The beds were comfortable, not super plush, but fine for a weekend. The facilities were well maintained, and the hospitality staff were friendly and efficient, even when we didn’t leave our room until after noon! We would happily stay here again the next time we’re in the Burbank area or going to see a show at the Hollywood Bowl.
