Mateo "The Map" Morales · Lead Disney Parks Specialist
The Garland is a retro-styled boutique hotel about a mile from Universal Studios Hollywood, connected to the park by a free vintage trolley. Family suites with partitioned bunk beds and weekend dive-in pool movies set it apart from the closer chain hotels.
