It was a disappointing place to stay for one night. It was so clean and all the facilities were clean. I regretted the three days I had stayed in Morro Bay before.

The retro feel of the facility is perfect for a Hollywood experience but the modern services and beautiful pool gave the Garland a resort quality that was not expected in the middle of North Hollywood.

Leo at the front desk was SO nice when we checked in. The room was better than I expected and had a cute little fireplace to keep us warm. The kitchenette area was actually stocked with plates and cups vs plasticware and paper cups. Everything about our stay has been great!

The ranch gives you a relaxt farmer feeling. The room we stayed in was quite outdated with too small beds for us long Dutch people, but it was also cosy. If you don’t mind about luxury, it might just be perfect for you!

Spacious bedroom and ensuite bathroom. Comfortable beds, lovely pool and jacuzzi, nice view over a little pond from the balcony. Friendly receptionists and if you are quick enough in the morning, they have fresh cookies in reception :-).

An absolutely beautiful hotel with lush grounds, a lovely pool and relaxing comfortable outdoor seating areas. Gym facilities excellent. Breakfast buffet was amazing!

Rooms were lovely and spacious, we had a rollaway bed in one room, included in the amenity fee. Free upgrade on booking.com to balcony view rooms. Super location for the Embarcadero and the Ferry building where we went everyday for some food options. Best gluten free bakery for our coeliac daughter. Trams and underground went from outside in every direction, including ball park, union square and wharf. All walking distance too if you prefer. Very safe and clean area.

The camping area was in a beautiful shady glade and the tent mattresses were comfortable. Location is good for Yosemite Valley. The lodge staff were friendly and the pool area was lovely with the evening buffet and sunsets too. The kids (and adults) enjoyed the complimentary s’mores and the bar area was great for relaxing after a days hiking.

This lovely inn is located about 20 minutes by car from Sequoia national park, which makes the location ideal. Lisa and Alan are really friendly and prepared a delicious breakfast for us. In addition, we really appreciated having the chance to use the swimming pool in what was a really hot day. This made our stay relaxing and refreshing. Highly recommended!
