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

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

Now I know what SENIOR ABUSE is. My experience started with poor service. I am partially handicapped and have a hard time using stairs. I had been told I would have a choice of upstairs or downstairs. When I saw the stairs I asked for a first floor room. They showed me a room back by the trash and generators... More
