relaxed cool vibe, with great spaces inside and out, fabulous service, lovely pool area, comfortable room, Front Yard restaurant fabulous, free shuttle to universal studios a bonus

We had a wonderful stay at The Garland. The location was brilliant, the grounds were beautifully presented with well considered touches. The room was tidy, with comfortable beds and pillows. It had a great bathroom, fridge and setup. Whilst the room was ever so slightly compact for a family of 2 adults and 2 children the table & balcony gave us social spaces and the bathroom was well sized. The location and ambiance were wonderful. The trolley was very convenient, and we had a view of Hogsmeade in the distance. Whilst close to the motorway the room was really sound proofed. We had great help from the staff on one matter when my daughter was unwell. Our checkout process was less desirable regarding resolution of a dining charge issue between the restaurant and the hotel but this aside we absolutely adored our stay and will definitely be back one day!

The Hotel was a great find. The first impression, based on seeing the outside of the hotel in the pictures, doesn’t do service to just how charming and well appointed the hotel is. The lobby, bar and pool have a great hangout vibe and the rooms are super comfortable. The whole place has been updated from top to bottom and has a very special feel. The staff were great, and very helpful. The restaurant was super stylish and offered a good variety of foods for our family from pool side Nachos and sandwiches to a really tasty entrees like roasted half chicken in a cacciatore sauce. The hotel is not cheep but you get good value for money, and we will remember our time there fondly. FYI, the hotel offers a free shuttle to Universal studios, which made it a super easy to get there and back. Only a five minute drive.

Absolutely love this hotel! Second time I have stayed here and the staff are always so amazing and definitely make the hotel!! Shout out to Tanner and Danielle at the pool bar/cafe who couldn't do enough for us! This is a great place for kids - the pool is always lovely and the hot tub is welcoming in cold weather. Love the twinkly lights at night and the general atmosphere. The laundry is a massive plus, especially when travelling with children! Love the little shop and both restaurants are brilliant, we ate there pretty much all the time they were that good! We will be back!!!

The hotel is super cozy and cutely decorated (w/ orange touches). The lounge is warm and inviting. They offer a nice pool, jacuzzi and a gym. The bed was large and comfortable. The restaurant (The Front Yard) is beautifully decorated and they have wonderful breakfast options (even a breakfast buffet). The location is great, right near Ventura w/ all the restaurants/ shops. They even have a shuttle to Universal Studios and the Metro Red line.
