Recent guests submitted rave reviews for the the Garden Inn, which is conveniently located off Highway 101.
One guest wrote on tripadvisor.com that “the staff is super friendly and accommodating, and the grounds are well-maintained. The view from my room was surprisingly nice and the quiet location makes you feel like you’re on a relaxing holiday … The Hilton Garden Inn is definitely a steal, especially if you can score the advance purchase rate, you can get your room with all the amenities of a more expensive hotel for under $100 per night.”

Another recent guest wrote on tripadvisor.com that “the best part about the hotel was the area – it felt very safe. Didn’t worry about my car in the parking lot overnight, and I could walk around the area alone. The hotel is right next door to the Calabasas Commons – just about a 5 minute walk to your right as you exit the hotel … Hotel was quiet. (It is) very convenient to anyone on business in Calabasas or Woodland Hills – just hop right on the highway … I will definitely stay here again.”
