Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The hotel is a cute 70’s vibe hotel but nothing particularly special about it. The reason for 3stars is because our 7night stay was extremely noisy. The noise was not from other guests but just hotel noise. It sounded like a bowling ball rolling over and over or furniture being moved and I’m not sure but suspect it was elevator noise. After a couple of days I did talk to the front desk about the noise. They had no other rooms to offer us but did call later to offer a white noise machine. I thanked them but declined because we aren’t use to sleeping with one and honestly it would not have been able to cover up the noise we were constantly hearing. We were in room 459 in Portolo. I suggest for week long travelers you not place them in this room because that is a long time to deal with the noise. The hotel offering the trolley to Universal was nice and we took advantage of that two days. The beds were comfortable but with the noise there isn’t much sleeping going on. For the nightly rate and additional fees totaling up to approximately $500 a night I expect luxury and this is not.

Hotel's Favourite
Whenever I’m back in LA I always stay at the Garland… It’s central, it’s beautifully run and for Los Angeles, the prices are actually reasonable! Despite that I’m not an enormous fan of 70s retro, I actually kinda love what they’ve done with the place!🧡 The rooms are delightful, comfortable, the beds are perfect… Not too soft just firm enough.. Love the Lather brand products they feature in the bathroom… Everything feels luxurious without one’s having spent a kings ransom. Many many many years ago I recall it was the Howard Johnsons… After all those years and several incarnations, it’s evolved once again, it’s immensely popular and like I said, very very well run.. The staff at the reception desk are always helpful, welcoming and courteous, and the Front Yard restaurant is excellent!!

As soon as we arrived we were welcomed with open doors (literally). The check-in process was quick and easy. Our room was a bit smaller than we are use to but it was nice and the bed was comfy. The shower head was relaxing and so was the balcony. There was a discrepancy between what the hotel offered and what Expedia advertised about there being a microwave in our room. A microwave would be an extra charge but they waived it without me asking. The hotel felt like a mini-retreat with a pool, lobby bar, restaurant, store, and plenty of space to just hang out with a fireplace. I was caught off by the amount we paid for the valley parking we assumed it was $39 a night which is understandable but when we checked out we noticed a bunch of taxes added on that were not explained to us in detail when we checked in. However, we would definitely come back and recommend this location.

From beginning to end; top notch services, elegant communal areas, impressive designs with a classy 70’s feel. As if that was not enough, after our greeting staff valeted our vehicle and immediately took our belongings to our room, we were directed to the bar area where we met ANTHONY, JIMMY, and ADRIAN. These folks are bar masters! Everything from their recommendations for dinning to making the most incredible drinks, using what must be their “mixology” training, exceeded expectations. Adrian’s friendly persona and engaging personality made us immediately feel at home even though this was our first visit and we are typically very critical of new places. We are definitely already making plans to come back with friends and family, maybe even our business colleagues. In sum, easily 5-Stars. (Someone give these guys a raise!)

Fabulous hotel, very friendly. Clean and smart rooms. We had a balcony which was lovely to have fresh air as opposed to using the air con in the room. Empty fridge for your own items. Ideal location for Universal Studios Hollywood, with the hotel supplying a free shuttle on the hour.

The Garland is a charming boutique hotel. Loved the 60s vibe. The room was beautifully decorated and more importantly clean and comfortable. Ate a few times at their restaurant The Front Yard. The food was very good, and the staff was friendly and accommodating our birthday celebration. I will certainly stay there again. E

Lovely hotel, great vibe, lovely staff. Close to Universal and Warner Bro studio. Really comfy bed and daily housekeeping. The only negatives were the noise from the Freeway behind. I had to wear earplugs. Also the air con unit fixed the wall had a gap so we could see outside, again not great for noise reduction. The car parking at $35 per night was just not cool as a paying hotel guest. Universal studios charged less and Warner Brothers. Why is it so expensive? When checking out we were then advised of hotel taxes, fine but why not let people know. So for 3 nights we were charged an additional $150 for parking and hotel charges. Worth bearing in mind. It’s good location and ok for the money. I personally just struggled with traffic noise and the consistent smell of weed.

I cannot rave enough about our recent stay at The Garland. What a fabulous hotel! Super fun décor throughout with a clean, comfortable, and spacious room. We stayed in a Family Suite with our two teenage boys and it was a perfect fit. From an early arrival to happy hour at the pool, the staff was friendly, fantastic, and always ready to help. Pool area was a nice way to end the day as was the outdoor movie and table games. Ideal location for Universal as well as most LA landmarks that were on our list.

We chose this hotel based on its proximity to Universal. Upon checking in, the front desk & bell desk staff were extremely attentive and polite. We locked our bags in storage and were able to hop on the trolley to Universal. Checking in was a breeze and I was pleasantly surprised by the design and cleanliness of the rooms. We’re pass holders and I’ve decided this is our go to hotel any time we make a trip! Highly recommend for anyone with families / small children.
