We stayed at the Beverly Garland for five nights in Aug, 2007. Even though they had made a mistake by giving our room to someone else which we discovered on arrival and check in, they immediately took care of it, gave us free parking and were very apologetic. The hotel is lovely, clean and quiet with a great restaurant attached. In fact the best food for the money we had in LA. The pool is very nice, large, well maintained and clean. I felt safe and away from the LA madness while we were there. The rooms are adequate and typical Holiday Inn fare but clean and functional. It is close to the 101 which takes you everywhere you want to go and five minutes from Universal Studios. They have a free shuttle to Universal which runs throughout the day.

So glad we found this hotel.

This was such a beautifuil hotel. The location is in a very safe, pretty area, so close to Universal Studios!

The rooms weren't huge, but they were more than comfortable, and very clean. All of the staff was very friendly, everytime I passed someone in the hallway, they would smile and greet me.

The pool felt like a mini paradise. It was beautiful, and the water temp was perfect. I only spent about 30 min. a day down there, but it was just the relxation I needed.

Many different bus tours stop at the Beverly Garland, so if you are looking for a tour, you don't have to worry about finding a place to go, you just stand on the curb and the bus picks you up.

Even the little restaurant had great food, service was a little slow, but that only gave us more time to enjoy the out door patio that was beautiful!

I would definitely stay here again!!

We only stayed one night at the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn and we wish we could have had more time. Very convienent location for Universal Studios. Our luggage was lost and the staff at the Beverly Garland fixed us (4 of us !) a goodie bag. This was not their responsibility but they did this without us asking. They contacted us as soon as our luggage arrived, late in the night. The airline (US Air) could have cared less. Super spot and great value.

We spent three nights there and had a nice time. The hotel has a good vibe and this is complimented by the extremely friendly service. The rooms are not huge, but they are clean, cosy and comfortable. Also the location is very convenient, you can reach universal or the walk of fame easily by car. The only negative was the size of the pool, way too small.
