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!

Just stayed here for the first time last weekend while here at the hotel for a dear loved one's memorial service on grounds. Our stay was absolutely lovely and the service, unforgettable as she is. This hotel is a magical experience. The staff is extraordinary, drinks are fantastic, the restaurants exquisite. I probably need to start travelling everywhere with my own pillow but other than that, we were delighted with our stay and will be back. Thank you for making our experience wonderful. Read less

We really enjoyed our recent stay at the Garland!! The hotel is very clean and all of the workers there are so friendly and attentive. No, seriously they all are. From the moment we got there to the late nights we enjoyed drinks at the bar, to the valet drivers, to the gift shop workers... everyone always greeted us and asked if we needed anything. They have a sit-down restaurant with bar, and then an outdoor bar by the pool, as well as a gift shop where you can get Universal tickets. They even offer at trolley that can take you to and from the hotel to Universal. It runs every hour but so convenient. I know some of the reviews mentioned it is in the middle of nowhere... I disagree. To get to and from locations we took an Uber and had zero problems getting around. We visited Universal, Warner Bros Tour, Paramount Studios and had dinner at The Ivy. All were easy for us to get to via Uber and we had zero issues. The hotel is older but the aesthetics, employees, and hospitality are worth it. I definitely plan on returning to The Garland!

The beds and pillows were comfortable and the bathrooms were large. The wine and water available in the room made it so convenient.The bar and restaurant were welcoming, accommodating and the food was delicious- great for kids and adults! The pool, hot tub and pool bar were just as pictured and PERFECT!!!! We spent a great deal of time there- it was never too bus day or night. The manager and bartender were both terrific! They had a nightly movie by the pool which was a crowd pleaser. The lounge chairs and cabanas are amazing- they pay attention to every detail- even around the pool. The work out room and laundry were convenient too. We went to Universal and used the hotel trolley for the ride home- it was full at 9am to we used an Uber but that was no problem. Getting in and out of the buildings and parking was super easy. If I ever go back, we are staying at the Garland and I will recommend it to everyone I know! :) Read less

Absolutely loved this hotel and hope for an excuse to return. It has an old school tropical resort vibe. The public areas are always hoping with guests enjoying themselves.

Absolutely loved this hotel and hope for an excuse to return. It has an old school tropical resort vibe. The public areas are always hoping with guests enjoying themselves. Definitely a hotel where people enjoy getting out of their rooms and socializing. Rooms are spacious and clean and plenty of parking. I took the short walk to the Brady bunch house and the neighborhood felt very safe. Close to both universal and Warner Brothers and found many places to eat a short drive away. The trolley to universal is great, but doesn’t leave early enough for early entry to Nintendo world. Still only a $10 Uber ride away. A delicious late night snack is the cookies and brownie bags available for takeout from the front door restaurant. Read less
