Cannot fault The Garland. It had always been on my wishlist of LA hotels to stay at and we finally did in November for four nights. The decor alone is incredible, so beautifully designed, the staff are lovely, the location is perfect and access to Universal is fantastic. Ample parking space and the pool was exactly what the kids needed after exploring all day. They played while we sat with a cocktail. Rooms were spacious (we had a double) and the water pressure in the shower was great. I strongly encourage anyone to be there on a Tuesday and take part in the morning neighbourhood walk, it was so lovely to see our surroundings through the eyes of the staff who work and live there, with the absolute bonus of seeing the Brady Bunch house. The Garland is a five minute drive from a Ralphs, Starbucks and pharmacy, and within ten minutes of a massive Target (or a short shuttle provided by the hotel to Universal Studios and city walk.) Highly recommend to anyone and cannot wait to go back again.

We stayed 5 nights around Thanksgiving. 1. Location Very close to Universal Hollywood. There’s a shuttle bus every hour for free. 2. Room Large enough, good bed, everything was nicely decorated and updated. 3. Service Excellent service, friendly staff It is an old hotel renovated to retro modern. Design works well and many details of artwork throughout, very stylish, cute, cozy hotel and loved it.

If you want a cozy, comfortable stay you won't go wrong with The Garland. Clean, neat rooms, friendly staff, impeccable atmosphere. Great location to Universal Studios and Hollywood. This was my second stay and I will return.

We were recommended this hotel by ChatGPT when we searched for a luxury hotel close to Universal Studios.....turned out to be the favoirte part of our trip. We loved the midcentury boutique hotel vibe! The restaurant was AMAZING! This is a family owned hotel and you can feel the positive difference this makes and all the attention to details. Thank you ChatGPT for the recommendation! We will be back to North Hollywood soon just to stay here again!

We were hardly at the hotel as we were busy being tourists. The time we were there was comfortable and we felt safe. Parking is very expensive but you know that on booking. Bed was very sorts some people like that kind of thing. Me not so much. Bring ear plugs if you aren’t on the top levels as you hear the people above you walking around. Great staff. Beautiful pool area and very clean. Very chilled and relaxed vibe. Great if going to universal as they have free trolley that takes you.
