A good hotel for families in a great location for Universal Studios.
Pros:

The Garland is in a great location for visiting Universal Studios and the free bus to get there was really useful. It also wasn’t far by car to explore the other tourist attractions in LA. Our rooms were pleasant with comfortable beds and enough space. The bathrooms were fine. Staff were friendly and helpful. There was plenty of parking onsite. The property was well maintained and clean.

Cons:

Parking is expensive at $50 per day, but considering Universal Studios, just up the road, charges $85 per day to park, I guess the fee is justified.
There was a party in one of the function rooms one evening, which made one of our rooms noisy, but it didn’t go on too late, and we understand that functions are an important part of making a hotel financially viable.
The food in the courtyard area was nice, but the service seemed confused to say the least. Our family were served in stages, with the last meals arriving after everyone else had finished eating. We had to ask several times for some of our drinks. We didn’t eat at the hotel in the evening after the first day as a result, which was a shame as the food tasted good!

Lovely family hotel which also is a great place to stay when you’re in town for business.
Pros:

Atmosphere was great. Felt like a holiday spot.

Cons:

The freeway can be a bit loud, but still lovely to sit in the balcony (don’t hang your gym clothes out to dry there though)

Pros:

Location perfect loved the old Hollywood feel but in a clean modern way gym and washing facilities kids loved the movie nights in the pool and chilled vibe

Cons:

None flexibility on menu I have neurodivergent kids and the lack of flexibility was a problem tea really weak and when asked for 2 tea bags they wanted to charge extra $6 for 1 bag I just cancelled the tea.

Such an incredible stay, sad to leave.
Pros:

Such a lovely stay. Attentive staff, trolley to Universal (or the metro just before Universal - good connections to Hollywood and Dodgers stadium). Room was clean and comfortable. The whole hotel has such a great atmosphere.

Gut gelegenes Hotel für den Besuch der Universal Studios
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt nur wenige Minuten von den Universal Filmstudions entfernt und es fährt stündlich ein hoteleigener Shuttle dorthin. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und bieten ausreichend Platz für die Koffer. Wir hatten zwei Zimmer mit zwei Queensize-Betten. Das Badezimmer ist modern mit einer bodentiefen Dusche. In den Zimmern haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die ganze Anlage ist geschmackvoll gestaltet, sowohl die verschiedenen Aufenthaltsbereiche sowie das Schwimmbad. Der kostenpflichtige Parkplatz (55 $ pro Tag) ist groß und bietet ausreichen Platz und auch Schatten. Von dort sind es nur wenige Meter zum Hintereingang des Hotels.

Cons:

Für folgende Dinge möchten wir den Abzug von 3 Sternen begründen:
Man darf auf dem sehr schönen Balkon keine Handtücher oder Badesachen zum Trocknen aufhängen, da es das Außenbild des Hotels stört. Schade, denn auf dem Balkon trocknet es schneller als im Badezimmer.
Am Eingang hängt ein Schild (siehe Foto), welches auf die giftigen Stoffe, die verbaut wurden, hinweist. Das hat uns nachdenklich gemacht.
Das Hotel liegt an einer vielfahrenden Autobahn, so dass man leider die fenster auch nachts nicht öffnen kann.
Man erhält bei der Abreise eine Abrechnung, die leider nicht mit den bei booking vereinbarten Preisen zusammenpasst. Auf Nachfrage kommen dann zweifelhafte Begründungen. Das kennen wir so nicht. Auf unserer Rundreise war es das einzige von 10 gebuchten Hotels, die Zusatzgebühren erhoben hat, die man nicht nachvollziehen kann.

Pros:

The trolley <-> universal studio is awesome! Definitely recommend taking the trolley! The pool was good, also comes with a jacuzzi, super nice. Staff was really helpful.

Cons:

Our room was on the first floor, but it felt like a semi-basement. The window directly faced a embankment right below the parking lot, making it feel as though the room was buried underneath it. Worse, people walking down from the parking lot could easily look straight into our room from a very close distance, offering virtually no privacy.
