Myself and two friends stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and we would happily recommend it to anyone. The Hotel is clean the staff are very friendly and informative. Our room had two comfortable double beds and was a nice size. There is a free shuttle bus that runs from the hotel to Universal Studios/City Walk. The staff in the restaurant and the bar were friendly and efficient, and the food was lovely. Overall a very pleasant stay.

As a first time visitor to LA, we weren't too sure which area to stay in and had heard some horror stories about staying in Hollywood. The Beverly Garland was recommended by a friend although the travel agent said they didnt recommend it without a car (which we did not have) - the hotel was great! Good location, couple of bars/shops within a 10 minute walk and the shuttle bus to universal was excellent. The metro was only a 15 minute walk and this took us into Hollywood - I would definately stay here again
any questions, please email me [---]

Overall the hotel room was nice we enjoyed it but there's one thing that kind of freaked us out. I know there's no reported hauntings there or anything but in room 206 there was something like that going on. We were constantly hearing noises through the night coming from INSIDE OUR room. We didn't want to say anything not wanting to sound dumb, but after leaving my husband asked me if i heard anything at night and then we started comparing the things that we herd. We experienced things such as: faint knocking sounds on door and on table inside the room when no one was there or even awake, shuffling, items moving, window squeaking, and also shadows. This may sound strange, but that's what happened to us during our stay at the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn. It's not a big deal or anything just thought we'd give future guests to room 206 a heads up. If you had any experiences like this at the hotel, please email your story to aricbell@yahoo.com

Our room was clean and included free high speed internet. The hotel is well located with a free shuttle to Universal Studios, and short drives to Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the Walk of Fame, about 1/2 hour from LAX and a quick drive to Warner Brothers Studio.

The beds were comfortable, our room was quiet, although a bit small for four adults.
