What guests think

The Garland in North Hollywood offers a retro, family‑friendly stay with friendly staff, a lively pool scene with movie nights, and a convenient free shuttle to Universal, though freeway noise and paid parking are recurring drawbacks.

Rooms have a comfortable mid‑century look, but some are small or noisy, with loud AC, sticking balcony doors, and occasionally spotty Wi‑Fi. The Front Yard and bar are popular for tasty food and drinks, though service can be slow at times. Expect a fun, convenient base for Universal visits with a buzzier atmosphere than a quiet retreat.

The Garland was great! From the friendly staff to the excellent location. My only issue was the lack of working EV charging stations. There were plenty available but only one that actually worked. We chose the hotel in part for the convenience of charging the car and weren’t always lucky enough to beat others to the only working station. Maybe next time.

Very beautiful property. The front yard is a great restaurant! Two issues we had: 1. The pool side food service was incredibly slow. We waited almost 2 hours to get a pizza and nachos! 2. Our rooms air conditioning was also not great. It was hot out the day/night we stayed and we had the ac on the whole time but it never really got cold and comfortable so it was hard for us to sleep. Everything else I would give 5 stars! Really nice staff

Great LA vibe in this family friendly hotel. We chose it for its proximity to Universal Studios and it was perfect, with a shuttle service there and back every hour. The hotel itself is chic and fun, with a pool (albeit a bit cold) and hot tubs and movie screenings at night. The family room was just about ok in size but with lots of storage and shelf space. The beds were on the soft side for us, and on two of the nights we were there there were events in the ballroom with loud music right under our balcony until 10pm. However we were given the option to move to another room but since there were no additional events after that we stayed where we were and it was fine. Parking is charged an additional $39 per night (plus tax) - a significant but sadly unavoidable cost worth noting.

We loved this stay. Convenient to all attractions and Burbank airport. Only con to this property was the pool size, there was very little supervision at the pool area (on the parents there and the staff) the pool was often over crowded and not suitable for smaller children due to all the rough housing and kids jumping in.

What a fun, funky, retro hotel filled with things to do and welcoming staff. The pool is great, had an adult only hot tub, and shows movies nightly. There are many tables to enjoy a drink from the bar in the courtyard, a nice restaurant that made great coffee, and comfy rooms. Highway side was slightly noise but nothing overwhelming. There is a free shuttle to Universal running every hour 8am-10pm. We would 100% stay here again. Also loads of Blink EV charges but not complementary.

The Garland has a cool vibe about it which we enjoyed. It's right near Burbank which was nice. I liked the hotel and the amenities. However, for the price I was paying for the hotel room, I was irritated that I had to pay $39 a day to park my car. If that's the case build it into the price of the room so I know that before I book the room.

Great stay, family friendly. The shuttle is really helpful. Service is great, just ask and they will provide. Microwave in the room is available upon request, $10 each night. Pool is nice with movie in the evening. Street food cart every evening, corn on the cob is my favorite. Restaurant is also nice, buffet is availabe with fee but ala carte is also an option. I had early check in and they were able to provide me room, they also gave me 1hour complimentary extension to check out to give time to pack. Overall, it was a perfect stay.

We just returned from a nine night stay at the garland. The hotel is beautiful and comfortable. The restaurant, bar, courtyard and pool areas are gorgeous. The staff is excellent (special shout out to David, Angel and Aidan). The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is the wi-fi was often painfully slow and spotty and the air conditioning in the room was erratic as well. Otherwise a perfect place to stay and we would definitely go back when visiting the area again.

We love the Garland! It is our go to place when we are in the area. The pool area and bar are always amazing. Our favorite spot to chill and relax before our plans. Staff is always amazing but this time around David helped us check in and he was fantastic. We loved him! Our only drawback this time around we stayed in a suite, and it was a bit disappointing. It was much smaller than we expected, and the bathroom situation was odd. The bed was pretty firm but that's personal preference. However, neither of those things will stop us from staying here. We'll be back soon!

Disappointing end to an otherwise good stay. When I checked in, I was told I’d receive a $25 food credit per night and discounted parking. At checkout, the manager informed me those perks didn’t apply because I booked through Expedia. I understand there can be limitations with third-party bookings, but I was quoted those benefits clearly at the front desk — and that’s what I expected. To make matters more confusing, they offered me the food credit as I was checking out, when I obviously couldn’t use it. We were traveling as a group and had five rooms total, so I would’ve appreciated a bit more flexibility or follow-through. A small gesture would’ve gone a long way.

When we arrived, we were told our reservation had been cancelled and we had no room. After an hour of chatting with Expedia agent and some help, the hotel discovered their mistake and got us into our room. Also, the patio door was problematic and we had to have maintenance fix it while we were out. All this being said, I loved the atmosphere and restraint attached to the facilities. All staff were polite and courteous. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

Honestly, I was very excited to stay at this property for years. I purchased a 2 night VIP package that was supposed to include a free bottle of champagne and a free room upgrade. When the assistant manager checked me into my room, I was sure to mention all the perks that I was excited about. Only to be told there are no upgrades available, nor champagne. I then went into the room and it was definitely one of their aged rooms. It was not updated at all, there were lashes on the wall that the previous guest placed, the shower was not a shower- a sprinkler with a dirty tub, and the door and floors had water damage. I just felt so dirty after that first night. I went to the front desk with photos and a lovely lady tried her best to help me. She switched rooms for me and what do you know, upon entering the room at 9AM (which supposedly wasn’t available the night before) it was a drastic difference. It had a stand in shower and wasn’t dirty. I notified the assistant manager who is very happy about her title, and she basically didn’t care. I had no problems with service from any of the staff besides her. I wasn’t really feeling acknowledged after she is the one that put me in that third party room knowing the status was far from a VIP experience. I didn’t want to leave a review. But to have 4.5 stars, someone has to tell the truth. Will I stay here again? Probably not.
