but if you sleep well, or bring earplugs (which I always do when I travel), it should be no big deal.

but to someone else it might have been a big deal.

It is about a 10 minute walk to Disneyland, not a big deal for older kids

but ended up with second floor, no big deal the elevator was right by our door.

We had to come down from the 4th floor which usually isn’t a big deal

It really isn't a big deal or happen too often.

Housekeeping came later into the afternoon while my child was asleep so my room only got maintained once (which wasn't a big deal).

It was close enough to Disneyland to walk to.

We stayed for 7 nights while we visited Disneyland and California Adventure and attended the D23 Expo.

Only 2 blocks from the main gain at Disneyland and was very nicely priced.

This hotel was adequate, given that we wanted to be close enough to walk to Disneyland.

I would stay here again next time I’m visiting Disneyland.

We are grandparents who like to visit Disneyland annually by ourselves.

It is a comfortable walk to the front entrance of Disneyland.

Great location to Disneyland and many nearby stores and restaurants to walk to.

Every time I come to Disneyland I stay at another hotel in search of the of the one I want to return to.

All for a reasonable price for Disneyland too!

Close walk to Disneyland resort (about 7 minutes).

My wife and I took our 3.5yo to Disneyland for two days and stayed here.

This hotel is just 2 short stoplights to the disneyland entrance.

Less than a ten minute walk to Disneyland.

but if you’re looking for a place to rest in between days at Disneyland it’s perfect.

We got the family suite (4 adults and one kid) everything was perfect for our plan, we just wanted a close hotel to Disneyland as we planned to spend most of our day there, super friendly staff very basic hotel

The good point is that it’s right next to Disneyland so that is super practical!

We were 4 women and felt very safe walking back and forth to Disneyland night and day!

• Gift Shop was closed for the foreseeable future due to COVID
• Water pressure, when showering, was a little weak,

but they don’t do daily room cleaning due to Covid.

The only negative (due to Covid) was the rooms were not serviced daily.

I was already aware that the gift shop had gone out of business due to Covid, so that was not a surprise.

The gift shop was closed due to Covid and they don’t serve breakfast which was a let down.

My most recent visit, due to covid restrictions, housekeeping does not visit everyday,

Due to covid daily housekeeping is not an option

The only issue was that the little gift/snack shop had closed due to COVID

At the time of my stay, daily maid service was not happening due to Covid-19.

Also due to Covid there is no housekeeping and they only clean before you check in and after you leave so a bigger trash can would have been nice.

I was delighted to find that it was still going strong after the extended park closure due to the pandemic.

They were not cleaning the rooms due to Covid.

The pool was closed and there was no housekeeping due to Covid, I'm sure that will change soon.

but our shuttle was not due to pick us up until after 6pm.

But, due to the noise, it's very unlikely we would ever stay again.

The room was very dark due to the way exterior walls are on the second floor which would probably be different on other floors.

Breaky wasn’t available due to the castle not being open on weekdays in winter.

Privacy for the parents using the king size bed was limited due to the layout of the room such that the bathroom was not separated from the parent’s room.

We have a first floor room and we can hear every guest that walks the second level due to the age of the building and how it was build.

The pool and two hot tubs were fantastic.

A short walk to Disney and a nice hot tub to enjoy after the parks.

Hotel was very clean, had a nice little pool and hot tub.

The pool and hot tub area was open and so we got to swim the day we arrived.

We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, would be nice if it was open a little later!

Clean the hot tub and pool were great to relax in after a long day!

Clean pool area with a hot tub, pool and kid pool.

The pool and hot tub were highlights for my girls and the staff were really helpful and accommodating.

Though it may need some updating, it was a wonderful stay, friendly staff, clean rooms, great hot tub, and perfect location.

The 3 small pools were good for a shallow pools for the littles, a larger pool to stretch out and a hot tub to ease mom and dads sore muscles.

The rooms are clean, employees are friendly & helpful, pool & hot tub were well kept and relaxing after a long day at the park.

They also have a pool and a hot tub, which was nice to relax when we were not in the parks.

We were looking for a two bedroom suite since our kids are getting older and really need their own space while traveling.

The rooms are a bit older looking in regards to technology/bathroom/floors

Nice size room for two adults and two older children.

The hotel is old, perhaps this Castle is older than the one in the park, bot sure.

You could tell that it’s an older spring mattress.

You can hear other guests walking by your door through the wall and in the parking lot, the ac is loud and we heard people walking above us - and I'm sure people below heard us when we came home late from the parks with tired kids.

The AC was a bit loud and some other loud humming noises were very present until late night.

The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is the air conditioner unit in 422 is very loud at times and did wake me up a few times every night.

There was enough room for them to wrestle and play and I never yelled "Be careful you could break that".

People walking by, not talking loud, were easily heard.

So, any noise coming from the parking lot, it's like your door or window is totally open because it's very loud!

Only wee gripe is the extremely loud air con unit, I would wake up in the night and think I was in the middle of a storm or something.

Each couple in out party used the closet which meant the ones using the back room had to go into the other couples room to get into the closet.

I am a travel consultant and I use this hotel on a regular basis as I take Dance groups over to dance at Disneyland.

There is not much soundproofing, so it was very loud hearing people walk by at night and early morning.

There were times when I knew they were being quite loud because I was on the phone with them

7 min walk from Disneyland, not too loud.

My teenage children saw drunk people at 1am staggering around in a open dirt lot next to the hotel.

We heard conversations, toilet flushing and loud thumping and banging at all hours.

We stayed 4 nights and had to last minute add another person to our party.

It was pretty much a very loud alarm clock, right next to our room, so we were forced to get up at 6am,

And they are super loud and wakes you up at 6am.

Our room was located across from the lift (elevator) and it was quieter than I hoped and we only had to hear the occasional loud family shouting at each other while waiting for the lift.

Last year we were on the 4 floor this year on second floor, if you have trouble sleeping stay on the 4 the second floor was a bit loud with people above us.

Room was clean, provided all the extras we needed.

Rooms didn’t have a safe, freezer or iron/board.

The rooms were not clean, the decor was very outdated, and they didn't have any cleaning services available when we were there so I would advise to check other hotels if you want to have a more modern, clean experience.

The AC is strong and kept the room nice and cool especially after hours and hours in the hot CA sun.

The room was clean, comfortable bed, great shower and air conditioning (a bit noisy at times,

The hotel rooms were clean and up to date, hotel staff was very kind, parking was easy, the walk to the entrance of Disney is short and convenient.

but I did like that the vanity was outside the toilet/shower room (made for getting ready for the park easy!)

The hotel was very pretty, the rooms were very comfortable (loved the beds).

I decided to book a room and stay in one early Feburary of this year and absolutely fell in love.

We usually get a 2 Queen Room for a good price.

The staff were all incredibly friendly and the room was just what we needed.

Room was good, very clean,  and staff was very friendly and eager to assist us.

The front desk staff was awesome and very helpful.

All the staff warm, accommodating, & request taken care of quickly.

Otherwise the staff were friendly and the pool area was well kept,

Nice big room including a microwave, mini fridge, bathtub and shower and a desk.

PROS:
• Close to Disney theme park entrances (about a 15-minute leisurely walk)
• Rooms are pretty spacious 
• Roof offered two good-sized tables (one for dining and an extra for playing games or whatever)
• Rooms and grounds were kept very clean
• Comfortable Beds
• Shower water was always hot (any time of day)
• Friendly and helpful staff
• Kid Friendly
• Nice sized television
• Mini Refrigerator, which held plenty of drinks and some food
• Microwave was powerful
• Hairdryer provided
• Coffee Maker provided (it's not great,

Everyone who worked there was super nice and helpful.

Staff was very helpful and accommodating, and always had a smile on their face.

The front staff was also perfectly cordial.

The pool was great and the staff always went above and beyond for us!

but the staff members deserve to hear every kind word about them. Thank you!!)

Excellent and genuinely happy/helpful staff.

It’s only about a 10 minute walk to the park from the hotel, everything was clean, and the staff were so kind and helpful.

but it is very clean, very quiet, and the staff was great.

The hotel employees are all sooo kind and so very helpful.

They also have free parking and everyone is so friendly and helpful.

What we loved about it was the extremely friendly and courteous staff.

The location is perfect for an easy walk to Disneyland.

I like that it's affordable, close enough to Disneyland's main entrance to walk in 10 minutes or take an Uber that is only a few bucks.

It is a short walk to Disneyland (8-10 minutes) and the importance of its proximity cannot be understated.

Great location, close to stores and restaurants and a quick walk to Disney.

Easy and accessable parking, cozy yet spacious rooms,7 minute walk from the parks, friendly and welcoming staff, and most importantly, I felt 100% safe.

They had extra vacancy over the weekend and so they let us keep parking in their lot even after check out so we could go and walk to Downtown Disney.

It’s about a 15 minute walk to Disneyland and we loved staying here!

We literally walked all 3 park days to and from the hotel.

The beds felt old and could hear every spring and blankets were thin and old , shower curtain allowed tons of water out of shower and when you enter room they have only one regular coffee available and two bath towels so you immediately have to ask for supplies wasn’t impressed with staff either , check in process was different than most hotels and long

If only your set of see-through curtains are covering or if no curtains are covering the windows, people were able to look into the room.

My only complaint would have to be that the bathroom seemed like it could use a remodel; the shower curtain seemed a little past its prime/yellowed in color.

but still its an annoyance when we are paying a lot of money)
- The whole property could use some updating (Carpets, paint, curtains, thermostats, etc)

The light outside is so bright even the black out curtains couldn’t completely keep it out.

My only complaint is that we slept in the bed next to the door and window of our unit.

The doors and windows are a bit thin so noise travels and you can hear the fireworks from the park.

It's likely due to the fact that the doors aren't solid, heavy duty doors and the windows are NOT double-pane windows.

The first room we were checked into had ripped curtains, stains on the carpet, blood stains on the ceiling (that’s what it looked like to us) and a light out above the sink in the 2nd bedroom.

but to our surprise, when we arrived back to the hotel after almost 12 hours in Disneyland, the curtain was still missing.

We had to request for a curtain to brought twice!

Only cons were the fact that you can't open up the windows for fresh air so the room can get very stuffy and you can hear everyone walking by and above you.

We made a bit extra room for the air mattress by moving the little table in the room over a bit closer to the window.

Maybe if the windows could crack it would help.

Cons - moldy smell, no fresh air as no windows could be open.

Cons: the inside drapes do not close completely, so while the white sheer drapes on the side closest to the windows close, the thicker drapes on the inside can't so you always have light shining through the window and can see people walking by (no black out drapes here), their pool and laundry room is located right in the middle of the parking lot which seemed odd to me

My husband went down to the night window to speak to whoever was on duty.

I could hear other rooms toilets flushing, luggage felt like freight trains going past our window & door and people walking around their rooms felt like elephants stomping around.

although the motel-style layout with exterior doors means that people regularly walk past your door and window, which can be noisy at times (and means no privacy if you want your curtains open).

The room was recently upgraded and tastefully decorated with all of the expected amenities for the price.

The hotel is a vibe, like being in the 70’s

The decor manages to look brand new and updated while taking me back to my 70’s childhood.

It's cleverly tucked away right off the 101 and has a total IFYKYK vibe.

Haven’t finished with LA yet and will definitely return to The Garland and it’s ‘resort’ atmosphere- an oasis in a bustling city.

This hotel has a great vibe and atmosphere and really added to the holiday.

Loved the style and feel to the hotel and rooms were nice.

Good service, quality rooms and a feast vibe overall.

The Garland is gorgeous, it is so pretty and well designed, beautiful furniture, lovely areas to sit.

The design team really knew what they were doing.

The Garland is a very nice little hotell in Studio City, with an almost European vibe to it.

Rooms - fabulous
Staff - fabulous
Tram service to Universal - fabulous 
Pool - fabulous
Night time pool movies - fabulous 
Location - fabulous 
California vibe - fabulous

So final verdict - FABULOUS!! !

We really liked this hotel,

Pros
Beautiful grounds especially at night
Pool area very chic
Room was lovely
Nice balcony
Food was nice at resteraunts
Cheap enough - happy hour is great!

In fact, so much so that we see it as a masterclass in design that we will use for our home.

Overall, this hotel gave off a nice, relaxing, cool vibe which we really enjoyed.

My son got an order of fries and they put so much adobo seasoning on it the fries sat under a thick blanket of bright red powder and were inedible.

The hotel itself has 60s style decor, it's clean and well kept with good amenities.

We could hear full conversation from the hallway as people waited for the elevator and walked in from the pool area.

About 3/4 of the guests were without masks in hallways and elevators and even the lobby.

Our room was in the building to the right of the lobby and walking through the hall and in the elevator we noticed a very strong smell of some kind of cleaning agent.

We heard hall noises from outside our room and had smokers congregate nearby, making noise and smoke.

but some people are not respectful while they walk in the hallways and the sound will echo and wake you.

The hotel makes no effort to remind guests that they should behave quietly in corridors at night, so families and groups tended to kick up one heck of a noise.

but the corridors and the lift appear dated and tired.

no hall noise or sounds coming from nearby rooms.

The annoying thing with the hotel, is that you can hear people closing doors and being in the corridors early in the morning.

I hated how walking down the hallway you could EASILY hear what was going on in the room as you passed.

Don't let the ugly, dark brown, cinderblock, claustrophobic hallways fool you--the rooms are bright and roomy.

We could only hear noise when we were in the halls

We were somewhat surprised when in essence all that was suggested was to spray the hallway and room with air freshener to combat the odor.

I could hear almost everything in the rooms next to me and from the hallway.

Walking down the corridor you could hear people through their doors.

Rooms are small and hallway, elevator and small details are still "old" 
The pool and bar was nice, restaurant is so nice,

The internet is poor and you can hear EVERYTHING from the room next door and halls.

Both I and the woman in the room next to me came into the hallway at the same time and had to ask her to please stop given we were trying to sleep.

3 out of the 4 night our hotel hallway was full with the smell of pot and nothing was ever done.

Lovely pool, hot tubs and a classic family film were a marvellous way to relax after a busy day of sightseeing.

The pool and hot tubs are clean and well maintained.

The pool is awesome, two hot tubs, laundry just off the pool, wonderful bar, movie night in the summer, concierge, formal restaurant, even room service if you want.

There are two hot tubs - one is for adults only and one open to families which is such a nice touch.

The pool area is so refreshing and relaxing and the temperature in the pool in the hot tub was perfect!The pool side food and drinks were delicious and the Customer service was impeccable!!

Pool was fun with two hot tubs and one just for adults.

At this point I went downstairs with the kid to enjoy the last hour of the hot tub being open.

Would loved to have stayed longer room clean and large staff very friendly breakfast buffet very good nice heated pool and hot tubs location very good also complimentary tram to universal studios runs every hour on the hour

What a beautiful hotel 
Loved the atmosphere 
Great value for money with the shuttle which we used for both the metro and universal studios 
The pool and hot tubs were a great end to the perfect days 
If we are ever in LA again I’d choose this hotel!

The hotel had nice rooms and all the facilities you could want including pool and hot tub.

The cost of parking is $ 25 a day, there is a great pool and hot tub at the end of the day that is really relaxing.

The hotel has a great little pool, with a bar for food and drinks service, and 2 excellent hot tubs.

3) The pool and hot tub around the pool at night with the twinkling lights were lovely

4) The trolley bus to Universal was excellent

5) The staff were always friendly

6) The whole vibe of the hotel was modern with a 70's twist and it worked
7) Spacious room with huge TV and seriously comfy beds!

The pool had a moving playing on this Friday night so the kids swam and watched the movie while my husband and I had a great drink from the pool bar and relaxed in the hot tub!

Loved that they had an adult only hot tub and one for kids.

The pool area was clean with a hot tub and lots of sunbeds and fresh towels with a pool bar serving food and drinks.

The rooms were amazing, the pool and hot tub such a relaxing way to finish off the holiday.

Grounds - Beautiful well kept gardens, a fabulous pool, hot tub, pool bar etc.

They told us that when the guest checked in, if they didn't really need it, they would call us and let us have it.

We didn’t think anything of it until said door fell off the roller and we had to call our good friend maintenance again.

however the front desk clerks definitely need more training in guest satisfaction and their phones not working on the floors is not any better.

but their systems don't accept tap off your phone so as we didn't have the card with is we had to give cash over.
