I travel a lot, all over the world, and honestly, this is one of my all time favorite hotels. The staff and service are fantastic and the pool area is stunning. It's located in a very convenient spot for so many fun activities and super close to the Burbank Airport. The Midcentury Modern style is my vibe and it's really well done. I highly recommend this hotel. I've stayed there many times and never had a bad experience.

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!

This hotel was great…from the shuttle to universal studios to the front desk to check in was a great experience. Jason at the front desk answered all of are questions and was very professional. Overall it was a grand stay and would highly recommend to book this as your next stay if in the area.

Great hotel with a very helpful and friendly front desk. The rooms are clean and modern and we had no issue with relaxing in the rooms after a busy day in LA. Great location for universal and the film studios however you will need a taxi to get to the sightseeing areas of LA. However that’s expected as LA is absolutely massive and spread out Also highly recommend the restaurant. We’ve traveled across the states over the past couple of weeks and this meal was up there for quality and price.

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!
