Pool was great weather was too chilly to fully enjoy. Property was under renovation while we visited but staff was friendly and clean. Was close to Legoland which is what we were looking for, not a great walking path but managable. Close to food and stores.

The location is great. Good walking distance to Legoland. I love the family pool and splash pad. I think it was a good value for your money especially considering they have two bedroom suites. The staff was also amazing. Shoutout Gilbert & Rose. What was lacking is the condition of the property itself. ...
