The Amtrack Burbank station is within walking distance from the Burbank / Bob Hope airport. According to the airport website, there is also a free shuttle from the airport to the Amtrack station.
The Amtrack fare for a coach seat on the Pacific Surfliner between the BUR and VEC stations is $16. Travel time is listed as approx. 1.5 hours, and is probably very pleasant.
The Ventura station (Harbor Blvd. & Figueroa St.) is about a mile and a half from the hotel. The hotel does not have a shuttle. They suggested calling Yellow Cab at 805-659-6900. |
| Driving directions from Burbank Airport (BUR) - Mapquest gives the distance as 60.37 miles and estimates the time as 1 hour, 3 minutes - you probably want to allow longer to account for traffic. (Note, the directions behind the Mapquest link differ from the directions below. Both routes are valid, however, the route suggested below comes from a local and may have less traffic. We've included both to let you chose. You can view both on the map that comes up along with the Mapquest link.) |
