The Garland in Los Angeles, CA

We have stayed here many times. As a former California resident, this is like home away from home. With clean rooms and responsive knowledgeable staff, the hotel is very conveniently located. Also highly recommend The Front Yard restaurant. It is a don't miss experience!

3rd stop of our USA trip and this hotel is by far the best one I’ve probably ever stayed in, staff so friendly and always ready to help, on our first night little issue with room noise they couldn’t do enough to rectify that gave us a family suite which is just wow and a $100 restaurant credit, rooms were spotless the beds are by far the comfiest I’ve slept in while on holiday, the laundry room was a big hit too after 10 days in the USA,this place has an outside tv to watch around the pool and a cinema room! 2 hot tubs we spent most our evenings in, food is great also would definitely return! Thanks for an incredible stay.

We stayed at the Garland in August 24' as part of our honeymoon trip around the USA. The hotel had been suggested to us by Virgin Holidays, and from looking online we felt this was a good choice. STAFF Upon arrival, reception staff were welcoming and asked us about our stay - we were asked if we wanted to upgrade (for a cost) as we were on our honeymoon but we declined. I would say that if someone is celebrating something such as a honeymoon, birthday or anniversary that it would be nice to be offered something complimentary rather than be asked for extra money. LOCATION We also realised the hotel is quite far from the centre (although not too far from the metro but LA public transport isn't the best) - we should have checked on the location rather than just trusting our holiday planner; this meant for the duration of our stay we mostly relied on Lyft and Uber which do add up - so keep this in mind. One good element of the location of the hotel is that it is very close to Universal, and there is a free shuttle bus between the two - on one of the days, the driver dropped us off at the Metro - which we really appreciated (which is next to Universal) and let us know that we could be picked-up from here too if we called the reception. FOOD When we asked about food options as it was late in the day when we arrived and we had just flown in from SF; we were told we could eat at the pool bar or restaurant onsite (which is a public restaurant). After quickly dropping our things off in the room we decided to eat at the pool bar as it was a nice night. As we went to order we were told that the kitchen was closed and we would not be able to order - this was a little frustrating as we were tired from travelling - however, luckily, the restaurant has space for us where we ordered a flat bread each; food was nice but quite over priced (to be somewhat expected in LA I suppose) - staff were friendly and service was quick. ROOM Room was comfortable, clean and well sized. The inclusion of modern amenities like the steamer was useful - the bed was comfy and also a good size. POOL We managed to use the pool once as we had quite a packed itinerary; the pool is rather small and was mostly occupied by children playing, and so not terribly relaxing. There are two hot tubs - one for everyone and one adults only one, which is useful except when the other one is also being used by young children jumping in and out. Whilst this didn't really bother us, if you are looking for a relaxing hotel, I would suggest an adults only one. Overall, whilst we liked our room, and appreciated the closeness to Universal and free shuttle, we would not return as the hotel is just too far out from the main areas of LA.

Fabulous hotel, lovely decor, great room, superb restaurant called The Front Yard, and loved the pool area. We will definitely stay again, this is a hidden gem. Great location too and has a Trolley shuttle to Universal. It felt like a resort relaxing holiday hotel with the convenience of the city.

This hotel is beautiful. I would definitely recommend my family and friends to stay here if visiting LA. All staff polite and welcoming. The room was cleaned daily. The facilities were spotless. Hope to return again one day. Thank you so much 🙂
