The hotel

Set in seven leafy acres, and with a 50-year tradition of serving guests, The Garland is relaxing, family friendly, and doesn’t skimp on style. Take in its relaxed retro vibe and comfy style. Eating at the restaurant here is, as they say, like an evening at an old friend's house. Request a table out on the deck for dining amongst the trees and plants, catch up over a drink in a cosy booth in the lounge or grab a seat at the bar. Check out the weekly programme of activities too — you could join a guided walk, watch a film by the pool or enjoy some complimentary wine tasting. All this, just minutes from LA’s hotspots. As a Preferred Hotel Partner of Universal Studios Hollywood℠, you’re just a free shuttle ride from the parks, so don't forget to purchase your park tickets too for the ride(s) of your life!

I picked the Garland for 2 reasons - it was close to Universal Studios and it looked cool, and it delivered on both counts. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I love the décor and the bar and lounger area is a cool place to just hang out and have a drink. Likewise the connected restaurant, the Front Yard was great for dinner and breakfast - again, nice friendly staff. The shop is cool, lots of stylized gifts to buy and take home. The shuttle to Universal was great and easy to use both ways. Additionally it was a good location to explore other parts of LA (for us by Uber - Grammy museum, Dodgers game, Griffith Park). My other tip is that there is a supermarket nearby (in walking distance) and a good place to stock up. My only disappointment is that we were so busy we never got to use the swimming pool - next time! Read less

We’ve traveled across the states over the past couple of weeks and this meal was up there for quality and price. Read less

Purpose of visit: Universal Studios Trip. We stayed three nights at the Garland. It was great! The hotel and grounds are clean and quiet. The restaurant on grounds was convenient and had good food. There was a free, hourly shuttle to Universal Studios (most hours). Rooms are nice. The decor is a funky, cool 1970s vibe... but not in a bad way.... a cool way. During Check-in, we were chatting with the employee (Rosy) Our son is autistic, and loves elevators. We were getting assigned to a room on the first floor. He heard and became upset. She told him he can still ride the elevators, but he was... not happy. She was able to find a room on a different floor, and asked if we'd like that. He did! She was so kind to take the time to help our family. If that wasn't enough, the Brady Bunch house is just a short walk away! Read less
