We will be back! Beautiful grounds! Room was spacious (we got the 2 bedroom suite) but there was plant soil or something like it left on top of one of the nightstand tables! Otherwise a pleasant trip.

check in was amazing, we were able to check in before going to Legoland. This is our third time staying here and the front desk staff is always very nice and accommodating. My only complaint is the breakfast food was cold and the server was a little overwhelmed.

I don’t like they ask you to take the linens out and load the dishwasher. I don’t work there and I paid a lot of money to stay there.

Everything You Need for a LEGOLAND Getaway.

We loved everything about this hotel. It accommodated our large family comfortably. The pool and splash pad were great and we were able to walk to LEGOLAND.
