Safety near Marriott Airport Convention Center

Safe to walk? Day or night? Reasonable priced restaurants and cafes within walking OR reasonably priced Uber ride away? Light rail options?

Thank you in advance.

The Marriott Burbank Airport & Convention Center is generally located in a moderately busy commercial area near Bob Hope Airport. For day visits, walking around the immediate hotel vicinity is usually safe, but as with any urban area, it’s best to remain aware of your surroundings, especially in the early morning or late evening hours.

At night, walking is still possible in well-lit areas, but it’s advisable to stick to main streets and avoid venturing into back alleys or poorly lit side streets. Using a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft for evening outings can provide extra safety and convenience.

There are a number of reasonably priced restaurants and cafes within walking distance or a short Uber ride from the hotel:

  • Bob’s Big Boy – classic American diner within a few minutes’ drive.
  • Granville – casual American fare, good for breakfast or lunch.
  • Porto’s Bakery – popular Cuban bakery, great for pastries and sandwiches.
  • Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill – casual BBQ option, around 5-10 minutes by car.
  • Local cafes and coffee shops along San Fernando Blvd – small cafes for coffee and light bites.

Regarding public transit, there isn’t a direct light rail station immediately adjacent to the hotel. The Metrolink Burbank Airport station is within a short Uber or Lyft ride and connects to downtown Burbank, Glendale, and Los Angeles. Most visitors find rideshare or car rental more convenient than relying solely on public transportation when staying near the airport.

In summary, the hotel area is reasonably safe during the day and moderately safe at night with precautions. Dining options are plentiful within a short drive or walk, and while light rail is nearby, rideshare is usually the most practical for sightseeing or evening outings.
