Wow, when you drive in the front it's all lush and very attractive. The Lobby is really nice and you. Can see the pool area. I went out that night and the landscaping with the attractive fire pit next to the pool and jacuzzi made me feel very relaxed. They even have a margarita bar right next to the pool... More

After a ten and a half hour flight to LA I was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a suite. The check-in staff were very friendly and this proved to be the case with everyone we dealt with. The hotel restaurant (Tula's) is very good (watch out for the side order of a "French Fries Trio" - it's enough to... More

Love the vibe, lobby, fireplace, restaurant, bar, rooms, and the pool (with fireplace). Have stayed here several times over the last 6 months and I just love it. The hotel is very near Universal Studios and right next to Hollywood. Restaurant has a great breakfast, and the mushroom risotto in the evening is one of my highlights. It is a... More

Pleasantly surprised with this stop on our tour of the West Coast. Staff were friendly and helpful, room was lovely and big and very clean, and hotel grounds were well looked after. Right next to the freeway which made it extremely easy to find (minimising the time spent on the jammed LA freeways) although you could hear the constant hum... More

This hotel has lots to offer: great location near Universal Studios, good service, nice rooms and a good restaurant. Our arrival was greeted professionally, and the room was ready. The hotel is constructed in several buildings and ours was six stories. The room itself has little that is special, but the rooms were clean and the beds were good. A... More

We stayed in this Hotel in March 2012. Hotel was clean and room perfectly adequate. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. As for the restaurant - eat there - especially the steak which was to die for!!!!! More

The Beverly Garland (or Universal City Holiday Inn...the actual name is a bit confusing) was a nice surprise. The front desk staff were extremely helpful and friendly; the rooms were clean and the beds comfortable; the swimming pool and lounge areas were clean and well-staffed; the restaurant and bar were good, affordable, with good sized portions and half-priced happy hour...

We stayed 3 nights starting on 5/4/12. I was attending a conference. Being as we are originally from this area my husband decided he'd join me. We've stayed at several Holiday Inns over the years and this one really surprised us. It exceeded our expectations by leaps and bounds. First off, the service at the front desk and concierge desk...

Fantastic location to get to Universal plus free hotel shuttle which runs 8:30am – 9pm. Car park was reasonable and plenty of spaces. Coffee Maker in room. Small bathroom. Hairdryer and plenty of toiletries. Comfy beds and good sized room. Only criticism would be the lack of in-room safe. Stayed in the El Dorado block Room 315 (2 doubles) and... More
