I decided to stay at the "Residence Inn Los Angeles Burbank/Downtown," because I had to go to downtown for business, and this hotel was close to where I had to go. When I was looking at the map, there were many shopping areas and restaurants in the downtown area. Also, it was attractive that there is a kitchen in the room.
What is the appearance of the hotel? Check the entrance and reception
The hotel has a chic design and matched the image of the fashionable Old Town.
There are two entrances. Perhaps because many people come by car and use the entrance on the parking lot side, the entrance on this side of the street was simple and I had a hard time finding it.

Closet and safe
There was an iron, an ironing board, and a basket in this closet. You can use this basket to go to the laundromat.
This closet had a lower hanger position to make it easier for people with disabilities. There are a lot of storage space in the room besides the closet, so I thought it would be suitable for a long stay or a stay with a large number of people. There was no safe.

Facilities in the hotel
There was an outdoor pool on the second floor. There are chairs by the pool, so I thought that it would be great for reading.
Just beside the pool were two BBQ stoves, a fire pit and a courtyard with tables and couches.
BBQ grill.
There were high school girls that were eating marshmallows at the fire pit at night, and I thought that it was a nice space.

Environment around the hotel
The area around the hotel was very nice. It is a downtown full of restaurants, but there are also condominiums and apartments, and it looks like an area where people who are in the upper middle class live. I hardly saw any homeless people, and I was surprised.
Burbank Station which is the closet station from the hotel.

Staff and customer base
The staff were very kind to me. I was able to check in very easily. I had the impression that the staff was enjoying her work.
I saw many groups of people and families staying, because it is a residence inn. I also saw many college students staying to visit Universal Studios.

Access
I think that it is convenient because it is 2 stations from Union Station by train via the Union Station from Los Angeles International Airport. It was a hotter city than I thought. It was a Friday when I stayed, so it was crowded everywhere. Everyone local was out in town and I was excited. Especially the downtown restaurant was crowded after 9 o’clock, and the Buffalo Wing I went to the second house had a waiting time of 20 minutes even at 11 o’clock! There were many places to eat.
Union Station.
IKEA near the hotel.

Summary
It is just 15 minutes by train from Downtown LA, and it is very a calm and safe city. It was a Friday, so the city was crowded with local young people. It was convenient to be able to walk to downtown and walk back easily. I got locked out when I came back to the hotel after 12 o’clock, but the staff let me in right away, and I felt very safe in the hotel. I was satisfied with the hotel, and the downtown. I was able to enjoy myself in a short amount of time. It is a nice hotel to stay at as a family when visiting Universal Studios and so on. It’s only about $10 for Uber to get to Universal Studios, so it may be more fun to stay here than to stay around Universal Studio.
