Stayed 2 nights at the Beverly Garland's Holiday Inn in early/mid June. Excellent front desk staff as my travel agent hadn't paid the hotel for my room but they still assigned me to room 705 in the El Dorado building. The room is directly next to the elevator but had no real issues with noise. The freeway next to the hotel also did not disturb my stay. The courtyard/pool area is very tranquil. There is free in-room wifi, large flat screen TV, hair dryer, air conditioning but no in-room safe. There are different types of pillows available but I still found them to be too soft along with the mattress.
The car parking is charged at $15/night and there are ample spaces. There is a free hotel shuttle to Universal Studio which is close to the red line subway. There is a restaurant on site. Those with cars, there is a large Ralph's supermarket located south of the hotel on Ventura Boulevard.
