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!

The staff were very friendly & helpful. If back in Los Angeles/ North Hollywood, the Garland is the place for us. Highly Recommended. Thank you super Garland! Read less

overall is a good place to stay .this was part one of our honeymoon. I chose the hotel for the 70s vibes which it definitely delivers. assume everything is good the only negatives to note. there are no umbrellas next to the Sun loungers if you want to be in the shade you need to move sunbeds all the time or sit on a chair next to a table where they have umbrellas. The pool is also on the cold side it only felt semi comfortable on the hottest of days when it was 40° or over. there is water and wine in your room however no prices, there’s plenty of other information and leaflets in the room Perhaps they should add some prices. The breakfast doesn’t have a great deal of variety. definitely a Californian taste rather than trying to cater international guests ,ventured out a few times. Read less

A stunning hotel with friendly staff. Couldn't fault this hotel one bit! All staff members were very friendly, a stunning hotel in décor. Comfy beds and amenities were great also. The free shuttle to universal is a great plus also, all around no complaints at all!

Amazing place to stay in Los Angeles. The staff were excellent in all areas of the hotel. The rooms were spotless with fridge, coffee maker and a lovely little balcony. We had a problem with the patio door, reported and fixed within 30 minutes. The pool area was clean with plenty of beds to choose from and lots of fresh towels. The films played on an evening was a nice touch. The patio area serving drinks and snacks was lovely and the restaurant was really good for breakfast and evening meal. A good setting for universal studios with a free trolly bus running every hour saves on the parking charges. A nice hotel away from the hustle and bustle of LA. Read less
