After almost one year we returned to the Beverly Garland Hotel (Holiday Inn) for eight nights. As we drove onto the hotel's brick paved parking area, we were greeted at the lobby entrance by two incredible flaming heat lamps, twinkle lights in the trees and a welcoming fire burning in the lobby fireplace. The front desk staff were as friendly and efficient as ever and greeted us by name. They knew which room we wanted and had it ready immediately. Tula's, the hotel restaurant ,has undergone a miraculous change in it's decor and menu. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. It was warm enough to sit outside on the patio for breakfast and late in the evening at the bar. The hotel has a courtyard with little cabanas and the same type of flaming heat lamps that greeted us upon arrival . When we stayed before, the laundry facilities were not great, but they have changed the location and added two additional washers and dryers with lots of natural light and close to the pool.One night it rained and there were guests still in the pool and jacuzzi enjoying the pool area which has a lovely fireplace to sit beside and get warm. Our room was clean and well stocked with fluffy towels and the bed is one of the most comfortable.Our room attendant creatively arranged all our bathroom "stuff" and kept everything orderly during our stay. We really felt taken care of. The Pay Per View movies were not working one night, but that was OK because we had our iPads and WiFi was free! We can't recommend this hotel highly enough...it's our second home!
Room Tip: Rooms on the south side are the most quiet, suites are spacious well appointed. Our room faced north...

It was so good to have you back at The BG. We try really hard to continually make improvements to enhance your guest experience. I know our staff is delighted to hear they all took part in making your eight night stay memorable. If you had to choose any place to visit in the winter, LA is the place and we are thrilled you chose us once again for your accommodations. Now…don’t wait a year for your next trip, who knows what next improvement you may find. Your second home awaits!
