SFV Granny attended a seminar at this hotel in Burbank, built by actress Beverly Garland in 1972 (there was one not far from us when we lived in Sacramento years ago).  I only knew Garland from her role on the TV show My Three Sons and thought it interesting in her later years that she had her own hotel chain.  This hotel is a pleasant surprise, as soon as you...
